While Apple and Samsung, in pursuit of stable profits, avoid bold, experimental solutions, Xiaomi does not stop
surprise.In 2019, the company introduced the world to the Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha concept phone, and today announced plans to present a special version of the Xiaomi 12S Ultra. According to the video teaser, the engineers placed on the back of the device, no less, a real bayonet mount for attaching professional camera lenses. It is quite possible that Xiaomi's source of inspiration was the daring Samsung Galaxy K Zoom concept phone from 8 years ago, which received a retractable camera in the style of a point-and-shoot camera. Moreover, you won’t have to be intrigued for long: already at 9:00 Moscow time Xiaomi will tell you more about the device.
Naturally, about any practicality of the device is notout of the question - you can’t put a phone with a lens in your pants pocket, and if you remove it, you will have to close the bayonet with a lid, which means that in a compact form the phone will literally have no main camera. It is reasonable to assume that at best the device will be released in a small edition for enthusiasts and collectors, but it is better to wait for official statements.
