RugOne has introduced the groundbreaking Xsnap 7 Pro at IFA 2026 in Berlin, marking the debut of a unique modular action camera that doubles as a smartphone. This 39-gram module, known as RugOne’s Xsnap 7, attaches magnetically to the phone, promising to redefine mobile photography.
For enthusiasts of modular technology and design, the Nothing Mini Phone offers a peek at the potential future of smartphones.
All-Terrain Versatility
Dubbed an “all-weather, all-terrain imaging system,” the Xsnap 7 Pro sets itself apart with its magnetic attachment capabilities. The camera module can easily detach and be mounted on helmets, bikes, or gear, maintaining functionality down to five meters underwater without additional casing.
The smartphone boasts a 6.67-inch 1.5K AMOLED display, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 5G chipset, offering 512GB storage. Designed for toughness, it can endure submersion in two meters of water for 30 minutes and survive drops of 1.5 meters onto concrete. The display is fortified with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.
Imaging Innovations
From a photographic perspective, the action camera records 2.7K video at 30 fps with a 133-degree field of view. It features a Type 1/2.7 image sensor, with video captured in MP4 format, though it doesn’t support RAW files. Its SteadyX stabilization, Horizon Lock, timelapse, and HDR Photo capabilities make it highly adaptable.
The module operates autonomously for 40 minutes with 64GB of built-in storage, recharging seamlessly from the phone. Users can manage the camera remotely via the Xsnap Go app, effective up to 50 meters away.
Camera and Software Capabilities
The Xsnap 7 Pro includes a robust camera suite: a 50-megapixel main camera with a Samsung GN9 sensor, complemented by a 64-megapixel infrared night vision camera using an OV64B1B sensor. This device runs on Android 16, integrated with Google Gemini AI and RugOne’s proprietary AI tools.
