Vivo has an optional Photographer Kit that adds a removable grip and a telephoto lens with an 8.7x zoom

This looks quite interesting, as I was saying just this week, I’d love to see proper lens attachments for Android phones. Ideally, though, I was wanting more standardisation on the lens positioning and a provision of a bracket that standardised lenses could be attached to any conforming Android phone, and not be a unique lens per brand.

It is going to be intriguing to see what DXOMARK’s camera tests reveal in practical testing. It’s true too that the sensor is still smaller than a DSLR, and there is no variety of other lenses to choose from. Still, I hope this spurs on more brands to consider proper lens attachments.
