SMARTPHONE cameras will soon be able to see through walls, a tech expert has claimed.

Daniele Faccio, professor of Quantum Technologies at the University of Glasgow, has said that the latest research is shifting away from focusing just on picture quality in cameras.

Professor Faccio says that that cameras will instead focus more on the data they area receiving from light, Aplhr reports.

He argues that cameras will instead be viewed as light sensors - rather than being used to take traditional pictures.

This would allow them to produce complex readings that will be analysed for greater insight.

Because of this, the expert says that cameras will be able to "see through fog, inside the human body and even behind walls".

Meanwhile it is rumoured that Apple may be working on three new iPhone X spin-off models, including one that misses out on some big features.

Ming-Chi Kuo, a renowned Apple boffin who works for KGI Securities, said one of this year's Apple handsets will be a 5.8-inch iPhone X sequel.

This iPhone X2 will have roughly the same design, but will likely use a more powerful chip.

A second handset will tout a massive 6.5-inch screen with similar specs to the 5.8-inch version, including a stunning OLED display and 4GB of RAM.

But the third version – believed by some to be called the iPhone X Plus – will actually miss out on some key features.

According to Kuo's research note, the iPhone X Plus won't retain the iPhone X's dual-lens camera.

Instead, it's expected to use a more traditional single-lens camera, which could result in worse camera quality.
