Dreame shows off $15K luxury phones, teases detachable camera module with 1″ sensor | Infinium-tech
Dreame is entering the smartphone market (and smart rings and action cameras and even electric vehicle) was a little surprised. But our initial surprise has now been replaced by wide-eyed stares – the company has created a range of luxury smartphones that would make Vertu blush. And then there is the second series with a detachable camera with a 1” sensor.
Starting with the phones you can (presumably) buy, these will have a detachable camera module with a 1″ sensor and a Wi-Fi connection so it can be operated remotely. This is similar to Sony’s lens-style cameras and differs from recent efforts at detachable cameras because the module can work wirelessly. This will give you more flexibility when framing your shot and may even let you shoot A and B roll with just your phone Is.

And then there is the luxury series, which will have jewels and gold studs and will be made with traditional techniques. These phones will cost CNY 70,000-100,000 ($10,000-$15,000), depending on the precious materials and number of handmade elements.
Literally, there’s a clock on the back of one of these! Take that, Ulysse Nardin. Of course, this is just one of many possible designs.

Oh, and Dreame designed an in-house AI chip called Chixiao 01 because of course it did. The chip is quite impressive, promising 200 TOPS of compute power – for comparison, the Snapdragon X2 Elite does 80 TOPS. This chip will be used in both luxury and camera phone series.
