RugOne Xsnap 7 Pro Debuts with Detachable Camera, Launches on Kickstarter
WHY IT MATTERS
The detachable camera lets users capture high‑intensity footage without buying a separate action cam, potentially lowering gear costs and simplifying equipment for outdoor enthusiasts.
What happened
RugOne has unveiled the Xsnap 7 Pro, a rugged smartphone that can survive intense water blasts and submersion for up to 30 minutes thanks to its IP68 and IP69K ratings. The phone features three rear cameras, one of which can be removed and used as a standalone action camera.
The device debuted at MWC 2026 and will be available on Kickstarter on September 7 for €799 (about $930) in limited quantities, followed by a global release in October for $999.
The detachable module is less capable than dedicated action cameras such as the DJI Osmo Nano or Insta360 Go Ultra, but offers users a single‑device solution for extreme shooting.
