Vivo Announces Removeable, Motorized Pop-Up Camera For Remote Operation

Vivo shy fab about taking big risks in introducing never before seen features in phones, from the first deca-core phones to the first popup cameras to an all-glass seamless phone. It is now the first to introduce the world to a motorized pop-up camera that can be removed and used like a remote camera controlled with the phone. The IFEA concept isn’t about an optional camera attachable at will. It is the phone’s front-facing selfie camera that pops up from within the phone’s body and its removable once it has popped out and has been activated.

​What makes the idea unique and weird at the same time is that the camera continues functioning even when detached, implying there are circuits and a battery powering it independently. The camera can then be placed on a surface to take a shot from a more difficult angle or a selfie that has more room for more than just one or two persons. The IFEA concept goes beyond just a remote camera. The detachable piece can be attached magnetically to a clip that can then go on a dog collar or shirt to capture live video feeds. There’s apparently also a security function that, like Samsung’s S Pen, will warn the user should the phone and the camera module get separated too far.
