Camera Drone-Equipped Smartphones

The Vivo Phone Concept by Sarang Sheth Has an Unexpected Feature

— July 8, 2021 — Tech
This Vivo Phone Concept has been designed by Sarang Sheth for LetsGoDigital as a smartphone that would provide users with access to impressive photography capabilities from anywhere. The device is inspired by a patent filed by the China-based phone manufacturer that describes a smartphone with a built-in drone that would pop out on demand. The smartphone design maintains a sculpted aesthetic that boasts a quad-rotor drone that would slide out of the top section to easily snap photos of all kinds from afar.

The Vivo Phone Concept identifies what could be done to enhance the photography capabilities of a user and help them to further maximize mobile functionality. The device imagines what could be construed as a superfluous functionality, but expands the thinking around mobile technology design as consumers continue to crave a different kind of user experience.
Trend Themes
1. Drone-equipped Smartphones - The integration of drones into smartphone technology could hatch new opportunities for mobile photography and videography.
2. Pop-out Camera Drones - The development of camera drones that can be hidden in the device and easily deployed has the potential to disrupt the drone and mobile technology markets.
3. Multiple Function Mobile Devices - Combining different functionalities into a single mobile device, such as camera and drone capabilities, could lead to further innovation in the smartphone market.
Industry Implications
1. Smartphone Manufacturing - Companies that develop smartphones could integrate drone technology into their devices to enhance consumer experience and stay competitive in the market.
2. Drone Manufacturing - Drone manufacturers may want to consider partnerships or collaborations with smartphone manufacturers to enter the mobile technology market and expand their offerings.
3. Photography and Videography - As mobile devices continue to improve their camera capabilities, industries such as photography and videography could see disruptions in the way they offer their services.
