If you hate the big camera bump of today's smartphones, you'll love the detachable lens of Xiaomi’s Modular Optical System.

    Looks like this: Your browser does not support playing HTML5 video. You can download a copy of the video file instead.

    Key to its success is Xiaomi’s LaserLink technology. This is a proprietary optical communication module, apparent as a small dot on the back of the phone and the lens where data is transferred as light (near-infrared laser) at speeds of up to 10 Gbps.

    The lens has two pins that connect on the back to draw power from the phone
