5. Huawei P30
If you want something newer then Huawei Mate 20 you can choose Huawei P30.
Huawei P30 Pro give you 4 camera setup, but the standard p30 will costs a lot less and still is amazing smartphone.

Huawei P30 uses a specialized RYB filter array for its sensor, that captures detail than a normal RGB filter array because of which it gives us incredibly sharp images, especially via the 40MP sensor, where the phone will combine pixels to produce a detailed 10MP image by default.
6. OnePlus 7 Pro
Altho OnePlus 7 Pro can’t get close to the best in the industry, still OnePlus 7 Pro has really good camera, and the rest of the phone gives enough value to come up in this this list. OnePlus 7 Pro has outstanding build quality, design, and clean user interface.
OnePlus has three camera configuration on the back. You will get standard, wide angle and telephoto trio with various resolutions and apertures. The versatility three lenses afford you is amazing, and I can’t see myself going back to a two-lens setup, let alone a single lens.
As per us they are the best phones with a triple camera setup. We will keep updating the list as newer devices come to market.
