Xiaomi patented a modular smartphone concept containing three changeable parts. According to the patent, the top module will contain the rear cameras and the circuit board, which houses the processor, RAM and storage of the phone. The middle module will be all battery, and the bottom module will house the USB charging port and the speaker.
Renders made by LetsGoDigital show what the phone could look like. On the renders we see a dark blue Xiaomi device with the three changeable modules. What’s interesting is that we see different implementations of the camera design. Three different top modules are present, with one having a horizontal quad-camera system and the other a rectangular triple-camera.
