Xiaomi's Modular Optical System

Xiaomi has unveiled a new concept phone with a detachable lens that connects magnetically and transfers power and data. The lens is a 35-mm f/1.4 lens with a 100-megapixel Light Fusion X Type 4/3 sensor, which is larger than any lens found in a phone today.

The Modular Optical System uses Xiaomi's proprietary LaserLink technology, which enables data transfer at speeds of up to 10 Gbps. This technology allows for a range of specialist lenses for photographers and could also enable other magnetic accessories such as chargers and power banks.

It also comes with a Photography kit that includes an add-on camera grip, a case that allows attachment of a standard 67mm filter adapter, and other accessories.
