Xiaomi tries building what Google and Motorola couldn’t – the modular smartphone
Jermaine Smit’s camera modules give this conceptual Xiaomi smartphone a variety of features, including camera modules with different capabilities. The different modules have anywhere from a 3-4 lens setup, with one of the higher-end ones even coming with its own backward-facing display that’s emblematic of the Mi 11 Ultra that was released earlier this year. Unlike the Ultra, which had a tiny display, this concept’s display is a respectable 2-inches diagonally. I’d assume it would be big enough to use as a viewfinder for selfies (given that the phone doesn’t have a front-facing camera) and even for notifications.
Although this concept, and Xiaomi’s patent, unlocks some pretty exciting possibilities, we should take it with a grain of salt. Not many of these patents really make it to a public reveal or a retail outlet but instead aim to protect a company’s intellectual property and research. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if Xiaomi just announced it as a one-off concept to show that their tech isn’t just a dream; it works in reality too. Until then, all we have are these (pretty intriguing) renders!
