I saw this today: enter image description here

It's not the first time I see it, but I wonder what this is about. Why do they have three big what I assume are camera lenses? And what's the two smaller "spots" in the same area?

Are they for making some kind of "3D" view or what? If so, why three lenses instead of two?

The answer depends on what phone this is exactly but here is my best guess for each spot:

  • The three big lenses are to provide different focal lengths.

  • The white spot is an LED for flash.

  • The smaller dark spot is possible the LiDAR.

The LiDAR would indeed help with 3d scanning and providing your phone with the data needed for augmented reality.
