The Xiaomi Modular Optical System Has a Detachable Lens

The system utilizes a proprietary setup that would see the lens module positioned onto the rear magnetically, just adjacent to the built-in camera lenses, for an intuitive user experience.

The Xiaomi Modular Optical System was shown off by the brand at the Mobile World Conference (MWC) 2025 and will remain a concept for the time being.
