Chinese giant Vivo is working on a unique smartphone that might pack a detachable flying camera system. Yes, you read that right! The phone will feature an unusual camera module that can be detached from the device and fly in the air to enable users to capture drone-like footage with their smartphone camera.

Now, if you look at the smartphone design that’s expected to pack the flying camera system, you will find that it looks like any other smartphone in the market. However, the device packs an extra component with a dual-camera setup, three proximity sensors, four propellers, and an additional battery unit. This module is hidden inside the device and slides out from the top along with the mounting bracket.

We have seen a number of unique and ambitious projects from Vivo in the smartphone department in the past years. The company has also filed some out-of-the-box patents from smartphones like the one with a color-changing back panel or one with a rotatable physical keyboard.
