The lens system works by being positioned over the rear lens on the smartphone and can be used with one of four accompanying lenses to help achieve fish-eye, wide-angle, macro and telephoto finishes. The lenses come with a small [AirPods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-ipro)-style case for storage between uses and to keep them on hand at all times when traveling. The +Lens modular system is the design work of Hsuan-Tsun “Shawn” Wang and also features a flash unit right inside of the main body in order to greatly enhance the low-light capabilities when shooting after dark. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Modular Smartphone Accessories:** Companies can explore creating aftermarket attachment products for smartphones, allowing users to upgrade specific features such as camera capabilities. - **Enhanced Photography:** There is an opportunity to develop innovative and versatile lenses for smartphones to provide professional grade photography for users. - **Low-light Photography:** Companies can explore developing products to enhance low-light photography capabilities of smartphones by incorporating flash units in main bodies. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Smartphone Accessories:** The smartphone accessory industry has the opportunity to create and sell modular products that upgrade and enhance the user experience. - **Photography Equipment:** Photography equipment manufacturers can explore developing innovative lenses to meet the demand for professional-grade photography capabilities for smartphones. - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics makers can develop products such as flash units that can be incorporated in smartphones to enhance low-light photography capabilities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pro-Grade Smartphone Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switchlens.md) - [Pro-Grade Aftermarket Smartphone Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandmarc-telephoto-6x.md) - [Photographer-Grade Smartphone Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiftcam-lensultra-explorer-series.md) - [Detachable Mobile Camera Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-camera-lens.md) - [Pro-Approved Smartphone Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moment-tseries-mobile-lenses.md) - [Modular Photography Smartphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaomi-modular-optical-system.md) - [Magnetic Detachable Smartphone Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martvsen-magstack.md) - [Hyper-Zoom Smartphone Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandmarc-telephoto-tetraprism.md) - [Cinematic Aftermarket Smartphone Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandmarc-anamorphic-lens-edition.md)
