One of this rugged phone’s cameras is a pop-out action cam

What if your smartphone’s camera wasn’t locked to the back of the device? Honor’s Robot Phone, which we got to see in action at MWC 2026, features a camera attached to a stabilized gimbal arm that can pop-up and look around. But it’s still permanently tethered to the phone. The RugOne Xsnap 7 Pro, a new rugged phone from Ulefone, lets you pop out one of its rear cameras and use it as a standalone action camera.

The Xsnap 7 Pro is one of the first devices (following the Xever 7 and 7 Pro) from the new Ulfefone sub-brand RugOne. Instead of striving to be thin, the Xsnap 7 Pro is a thick and bulky smartphone that leverages its chunky design for rugged functionality and features not found on other phones yet.

That includes a magnetic modular accessory system that’s being introduced with the Xsnap 7 Pro’s detachable action camera. The action cam looks much smaller than the Insta360 Go Ultra, but offers similar functionality. When it’s detached, the phone itself serves as the tiny camera’s preview screen through a wireless connection. When docked, the phone can download and store footage from the camera and recharge it using its own 9,000mAh battery.

A prototype of the RugOne Xsnap 7 Pro was shown at MWC 2026, but the company didn’t share any details about pricing or an official launch date. It did announce a few specs for the phone. It will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8400 5G chip with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, according to New Atlas. It will also feature a 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED display with a holepunch 32-megapixel selfie camera, a night vision camera on the back, and will run Android 16. However, those specs could change when the phone moves from the prototype to production stage.
