A rugged Android phone with a camera you can pop off and use on its own? Yep, someone actually built one.
The RugOne XSnap 7 Pro, a rugged Android smartphone from Ulefone's sub-brand RugOne, features a detachable GoPro-like action camera. This camera can be popped out of the phone and used to capture footage on its own. According to 9to5Google, the phone has a 6.67-inch FHD+ display, a MediaTek Dimensity 8400 chip, 12GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage.
The action camera has a 133-degree field-of-view and can record at 2.7K (1440p). It has a built-in battery that allows for 40 minutes of recording and 64GB of storage, which can store up to eight hours of footage. The camera can also use the phone's storage to offload footage via a built-in app. Android Authority notes that the phone was showcased at IFA 2026.
The RugOne XSnap 7 Pro has a rugged design with IP68/IP69K/MIL-STD-810H certifications and a 19.1mm profile.
