sor, which Xiaomi claims is the largest among smartphone sensors ava
ilable. The lens is attached to the body via magnets, making it easy to install.

In fact, the idea of modular smartphones is not new, for example, Sony has intro

mm Leica lens. However, the difference in Xiaomi's idea this time is that the lens module
includes the camera sensor, thereby helping to create a new step forward in mobile photography technology.
