On October 9, it was reported that vivo IFEA, a new concept machine of vivo, won the German Red Dot Design Concept Award. The full name of vivo IFEA is vivo Interest Free Explore Amazing? The distinctive design of vivo IFEA is a very provocative "magnetic, replaceable, remote control" front camera. It even has its own magnetic PTZ accessories.
The foundation of vivo IFEA is a common lift camera structure, but the camera is connected to the mobile phone through a magnetic suction structure, with its own battery, magnetic suction charging, and can work independently. When the distance between the camera and the mobile phone is too far, there can also be a reminder push. The usage scenarios of the separation camera are as follows:
Creative machine position not affected by handshaking: the separation camera can be placed in different positions to achieve an ultra-low machine position that cannot be achieved by mobile phones, and will no longer be affected by handshaking, which is suitable for long exposure at night (however, the sensor of the front camera is small, which is of little significance);
Group photo scene without passers-by: put the separate camera on the table and railing to complete group photo or self portrait, and take real-time view and control camera parameters;
Wearing and using similar sports cameras: wearable magnetic suction accessories are officially available, which can be photographed on small animals;
Multi camera shooting: vivo even adds the ability of multi camera linkage. A mobile phone connects two cameras to shoot images from multiple angles.
On the rendered image, there is also a special magnetic handheld PTZ, which is similar to the OSMO pocket PTZ camera of Dajiang. It is said that vivo IFEA has its own sports camera, rather than a built-in "finger" camera (similar to Insta360 GO). Maybe many people's first reaction is some "bold ideas".
Although they all wear cameras, the vivo IFEA cameras are closer to Insta360 GO in terms of size and charging mode. This idea is similar to the modular design of LG G5's detachable chin (music HiFi module) and Moto Z's detachable back cover (Hasu module), but obviously the magnetic suction design is more comfortable and simple.
If the endurance and image quality of the camera module are not a problem, this is very practical. There will even be many "Jilao" who would like to provide a version without a front camera module (to save money), and there may be various camera modules that can be upgraded, such as multiple cameras, different focal lengths, and infrared cameras, which sounds very interesting.
