While Samsung is a leading smartphone brand across the globe, it is the Chinese companies that are known for pushing innovation. However, Samsung might be working on a cool new smartphone with a possible modular design for its camera system.
Samsung patents smartphone with a replaceable lens
A patent from the South Korean tech giant has revealed a possible Galaxy device that might feature a modular design. The patent was filed with the WIPO and carries the publication number WO/2025/084594 (Via 91Mobiles). Looking at the document, we can see design sketches that showcase a device with what appears to be a replaceable lens system. It lists a device that holds all the components, a lens assembly unit, an image sensor, and a motor/actuator that allows for movement of the lens assembly or image sensor.
This could allow users to adjust focus or zoom, and possibly include stabilization or alignment as well. The replaceable lens is apparently a built in solution, rather than offering an accessory that snaps onto a smartphone like the Vivo X200 Ultra. Users might be able to interchange lenses via magnets. Considering how the new lens system is built, it might allow for improved camera controls while also bringing access to additional replaceable accessories.
Unfortunately, the details are still at large, and we can only see the replaceable lens and image sensor. So it is unclear whether other accessories are also part of this system. Samsung could simply be covering all bases and may never build such a gadget.
