Xiaomi has patented a smartphone with a cluster of 7 camera protrusions

The smartphone market is under fierce competition, especially in the mid-end and high-end segments. To gain a foothold, each brand needs to constantly innovate and improve the quality of their products. Therefore, manufacturers often spend a lot of time researching new designs and describing them through a document called a patent.

According to the report, Xiaomi has just recently been granted a patent for a smartphone with a unique retractable camera design. Notably, this retractable camera cluster not only contains a dual selfie camera on the front, but also has 2, 3 or even 5 cameras at the back.

Xiaomi has patented a retractable camera design with camera sensors on both the front and back.

All three smartphone designs in the patent have the same front, and the design of the camera is similar. The biggest difference is the number of sensors on the back, with the total number of cameras on the retractable module can be up to 7 sensors, including 2 sensors on the front and 5 sensors on the back.

This is an extremely unique design and has never been seen before, because no manufacturer has “stuffed” many camera sensors into such a small space. Although Xiaomi is really planning to develop, the company has not confirmed the information about this device.

In the 2nd and 3rd designs, the rear camera assembly of this device also contains up to 3 and 5 sensors.

At the moment, many smartphone manufacturers are gradually abandoning the camera mechanism to switch to a new and more modern design. In addition, there are still many users who are skeptical about the durability of the retractable camera, although it is not too new.

Therefore, you should not expect a smartphone with such a design, because all we see at the present time is still a patent and whether the manufacturer applies it in practice or not a completely different story.
