Samsung phone with replaceable lens: After Xiaomi, Realme and Vivo, Samsung is working on an electronic device with a replaceable lens assembly. The diagrams given in the patent filing suggest that it can be a modular phone that will have an actuator to run this lens assembly. The device can also support replysebal accessory assembly. Let’s take a look at the way of working of various designs involved in it.
Samsung phone with replyceable lens
The patent filed with the publishing number WO/2025/084594 on Wipo was filed last year and posted on 24 April 2025.
The device housing or outer body that keeps all components.
The lens assembly unit that is replysable.
The image sensor that captures the image created by the lens assembly.
Motor or actuator
• First with optical (front and back), for possible focus or zoom.
The lens assembly is built-in, opposite to third-party solutions such as moment lenses.

The lens assembly device is associated with housing but is a separate component. Then there is an actuator that rotates the lens or sensor for autofocus and stabilization. This actuator is present on the outer body and not on the lens assembly, which saves the space and simplifies the design. There can be many such actuators. It can also have a rotating ring, which can be used to zoom. The device can read a tag (eg RFID tag) in the lens assembly through its built -in antenna. It may also depend on a reflector or resistor for this work. In addition to the lens assembly, this device housing can be prone to the accessory assembly that can be replaced. Modules such as additional displays, flash, battery, compass or watch can be placed in it.
