Xiaomi Corporation, a well-known Chinese phone brand founded in 2010, patents a new looking phone that may end up in stores in the future. The phone, though looks physically normal, has a weird camera that can be rotated for 360 degrees. The new camera module also seemed to be spinning. Here's what it looks like.
Chinese phone patents new cam set up so you can twist your camera
If you don't get it, imagine a phone that has a pop-up camera. Once you want to take a picture, the camera will be then, showing up. Once you close it, the camera will also be removed instantly. That's what Xiaomi intended their cameras to be.
Let's be clear: it is different from Samsung's Galaxy A80
If you're thinking, how in the world is Xiaomi's rotating camera different from Samsung's Galaxy A80? Here's the answer: They are different from each other.
You see, Samsung's Galaxy A80 released last year, offers a triple rotating camera-- with no notches. This is different from Xiaomi's rotating, yet pop-up camera.
Although it also wants to achieve a notch-less camera setup and removes the display hole of the cameras. Maybe that's what they're similar to.
Nothing's for sure
Sorry to burst your bubble, though. This camera setup is only a patent design.
Xiaomi has not yet announced its plans to create a mass-production of this design, so don't let your hopes high. Remember, not all patents come true.
