IFA 2026 has unveiled an unconventional Android phone with a detachable action camera, set to hit US stores for $999. RugOne XSnap 7 Pro, a rugged device from Ulephone, showcases a 6.67-inch FHD+ Gorilla Glass Victus display, MediaTek Dimensity 8400 chip, 12GB RAM and 512GB storage, and a monstrous 9,300 mAh battery. The standout feature is its built-in, detachable action camera with a 133-degree field-of-view and 2.7K recording capability.

The camera can function independently, recording for 40 minutes on its battery and storing up to 64GB of media. It can also stream footage wirelessly up to 50 meters away and is waterproof up to 5 meters. The device will be available on Kickstarter next week, priced at $999 in the US and €1,099 in Europe. It runs on Android 16, with promised updates through Android 20.
