In MWC 2021, Chinese creator Xiaomi has presented a new idea to expand the photographic possibilities of smartphones without significantly extending their dimensions-such as legendary “Bump”, that is, a growing survey on smartphone back pages, so it may be included in the past. In the teaser picture, however, a clearly outstanding camera module is still seen.
The “modular optical system” is made up of a lens with an integrated image sensor, which can be particularly adapted to the back specially when needed.

The prototype lens has a fixed focal length of 35 mm, a compatible aperture from F/1.4 to F/11 and a focus ring for manual focus. A 100MP sensor is installed in the lens in the third format of the micro-four. It promises significantly larger and more detailed resolution and better image quality than the current smartphone camera sensors with a maximum of 1 inch, especially in low light.
The Change Module sends the image data to the smartphone through a connection of up to 10 gg/S, so that the lens are integrated in the camera app seamlessly. The user can use it to access all general mode and functions. According to Shaomi, the high infection rate with the image processor of the smartphone enables high infection rates and direct connection delay -free absorption.
In addition to more creative possibilities through various lens and aperture settings, the idea also promises a more balanced smartphone design because it can be avoided. However, the photographer must carry alternative modules with him. Some smartphone accessories such as tripods, handles or Zimbal stabilizers may also have problems.
In view, Xiaomi lenses and other accessories can imagine a complete ecosystem that uses a magnetic connection to power supply and rapid data infection. Cooperation with camera expert Liker, with whom Shaomi already cooperate closely, is also conceivable. So far this is an authentic idea. Shaomi does not currently provide launch or price related information. For this you need to scroll at least four.
Modular smartphone: This dream is already old in the Android world. If you can adapt the software to your ideas quite strongly, why is the hardware not? No idea. In fact, smartphones have become less modular because of the scenic built.
I doubt the fact that for the mass of a removable lens width, the price is relevant because of the price. Nevertheless, Shaomi again proves its leading role in smartphone photography. Incidentally, the removable camera is not new, because Motorola was here a few years ago.
