The patented technology developed by Samsung seems to make "changing the lens" more convenient. However, some analysts believe that Samsung's solution is convenient, but the increase in the number of structures may make the phone more thick, and this design needs to occupy a larger space inside the fuselage.

At present, mobile phone manufacturers to make the phone slim 1mm and use its pole, so the interchangeable lens patents should be difficult to come to reality, unless it can solve the phone will become thicker problems.

In addition, from the patent document, we also saw a mobile phone equipped with a large-size photosensitive element, which is similar to the Galaxy K Zoom. Its thickened body end allows the user to shoot like a card camera.

If you are looking forward to replacing the camera yourself, you may wish to look forward to Google’s Project Ara modular phone before Samsung brings the product to you.

However, the road to Project Ara's modularity does not seem to be smooth either. This year, Google created its parent company, Alphabet, and started business restructuring. As a result, Project Ara module mobile phone project testing was temporarily suspended.

A Google spokesperson has also confirmed that the Project Ara module smart phone test was originally planned in Puerto Rico but is temporarily suspended. Google also stressed that this does not mean that the project is closed, and does not mean that eventually give up the original test plan, whether it will start the test plan again in the future, and where to choose the test site, is not yet known.

If Google's Project Ara project is not stranded, if Samsung's interchangeable lens technology can get out of the lab, it may be able to accelerate the development of smartphone customization.
