Xiaomi takes advantage of the Barcelona World Congress mobile to stock up on new products. And among the products announced by the Chinese manufacturer, there is the Xiaomi 15 Ultra which, without a doubt, will be among the best smartphones of 2025 in terms of photo and video. But in addition to its new smartphones, Xiaomi has also lifted the veil on a new very interesting concept for photographers.
Called “Xiaomi Modular Optical System”, it is available for a grip during the mobile World Congress. The brand has imagined a smartphone camera that includes a detachable goal. The fixation of this lens, which greatly improves the quality of the photos, is magnetic. And the data is transferred from this objective to the smartphone via an optical communication technology called Xiaomi Modular Optical System.

“By combining the superior imaging capacities of traditional cameras with the power to calculate smartphones, Xiaomi has paved the way for a revolutionary approach to imaging technology”indicates the manufacturer.
For the moment, this is only a concept
Thanks to this Xiaomi concept, modular smartphones are releasing the titles of the Tech press. And this is a technology that could make smartphones even more versatile. However, for the moment, it is only a concept. But it is always possible that the idea will be exploited by Xiaomi, later, on a commercial product.
Otherwise, it should also be noted that in 2022, Xiaomi presented a similar concept, which allows you to attach a leica camera lens module to the back of the smartphone.
However, on the new concept presented to the mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the module that attaches to the back of the smartphone has its own sensor. According to our colleagues from Android, it is a 100 megapixel sensor.
