  • Chinese phone brands are exploring more ways to enhance their camera capabilities.
  • One way could be to include detachable external cameras or lenses.
  • Xiaomi and Vivo already have similar options in China, and we might see improvements and additions from other brands.

The Chinese phone market is ultra-competitive, with brands promptly innovating to stay ahead in a tussle over unusual feats. Phone cameras have been of significant importance to these brands, who have tried varied solutions from partnering with actual camera brands to cramming movable components into small phone bodies. In the fight to achieve more, certain brands have even fiddled with external upgrades like detachable lenses that overcome limitations of phone cameras. And that particular solution could be getting more popular.

As Chinese phone brands brace for more competition, we could see a wave of new camera enhancements, with a particular focus on external cameras. Reputable leakers Digital Chat Station and Smart Pikachu have independently reported that multiple phone brands are exploring plug-in solutions for their upcoming flagship phones.
