Ulefone RugOne Xsnap 7 Pro: the rugged smartphone with a detachable action camera

Unveiled at the MWC in Barcelona, the Ulefone RugOne Xsnap 7 Pro rugged 5G smartphone innovates by integrating a removable, magnetic mini action camera on the back, ideal for filming in POV mode without the bulk of a GoPro. It's amazing.
Why go on a shoot with your smartphone and action camera when you can have both in one place? A removable magnetic lens like the Insta360 Go££££ Ulefone answers this question with a rather bold model presented at the Mobile World Congress held in early March in Barcelona, and which should be available this summer. The RugOne Xsnap 7 Pro is a "rugged" smartphone with one of its camera lenses that is magnetically attached and literally detaches to form a small GoPro-style camera, which can be mounted on a mountain bike helmet or clothing. The smartphone as a charging base and control screen££££ This allows you to easily film POVs and action scenes, as charging and viewing are handled by the smartphone. Therefore, there's no need for separate cables and batteries for a second dedicated device, although, obviously, this small camera isn't comparable to a true action cam in terms of features. A scalable magnetic receptacle for future modules. The practical aspect is nonetheless present, and this magnetic receptacle on the back of the smartphone will be used to accommodate new modules in the future, such as a thermal camera, a professional lens, or even a night vision device.
