live, as well as many other companies, is thinking about them all to make sure that the smartphone cameras keep a low profile. By low profile, however, we mean the degree of encumbrance on the device, which will not happen anyway with the next vivo X70 which will be out soon. Either way, a company patent shows how they're thinking about one removable and modular selfie camera. Let's see how it could be integrated on a smartphone.
A camera that detaches from the smartphone? Yes, it is the modular one designed live. The patent shows us how it should work
The type of selfie module offered by live allows you to make the sensor as invisible as possible without losing the quality of the shot. In addition, the technology assumes the ability to easily replace the module without the use of additional tools, which will significantly increase maintainability of branded smartphones.
According to the patent documentation a miniature front camera it can be made as a removable module, hidden in the body of a smartphone. Before shooting, it can be extracted, presumably by attaching it to a magnetic support. This design will allow you to abandon the cutouts on the display of the smartphone and the complex sensor placement technology under the screen, which we have seen with Xiaomi MIX 4.
Also, in the event of a breakdown, it will be enough install a new item without disassembling the vivo smartphone. The manufacturer also describes a special release mechanism that helps remove the module from the body of the device. It should be noted that it is equipped with its own lens system, but it is not yet known whether this will be possible use the camera as a stand-alone. The seller does not report the presence of his memory, ISP and other components as part of the front-end.
It is unknown if vivo is working to introduce the new technology into commercial devices as well when a smartphone with a similar camera module may appear on the market.
