Recently, I've noticed a pattern emerging. The last two phones that I reviewed (the CMF Phone 2 Pro and Vivo X200 Ultra) both came supplied with external lens attachments. Plus, at MWC this year, both Xiaomi and Realme showcased concept phones with external lenses. So, all signs point towards more detachable lenses arriving in the future.
I was a little surprised by this development. Detachable lenses are nothing new, I used to carry around a clip-on wide-angle adapter in the years before ultrawide smartphone cameras became the norm. But now, with triple and even quadruple rear lenses found on flagship phones, you'd think detachable lenses would go extinct.
