Modern smartphones all essentially look the same. You have a glass sandwich build with giant lenses on the back and a bezelless display up front. flagships from Samsung and Apple have enough processing power to run AI chatbots locally – so we’re past questioning how far smartphones have come. We’ve even seen concepts of modular phones that teased a future were you could swap out components on the fly.
Attempts to make smartphones modular didn’t succeed, and the closest we have gotten to this concept has been via mountable camera lenses and accessories that plug into our phones. One such add-on that has found a niche audience is that of thermal cameras. These are different from night vision cameras in that they visualize heat signatures that the human eye can’t normally see.
There is a decent market of thermal camera attachments for smartphones, like the InfiRay P2 Pro and the Flir One Edge.
