RugOne has integrated a removable waterproof action camera into its latest rugged smartphone. The modular design lets users detach the camera for standalone use.

The new device combines durability with versatility by pairing a rugged smartphone frame with an integrated action camera module. Users can remove the camera to capture footage independently, then reattach it to the phone when needed. The removable camera is waterproof, making it suitable for underwater or extreme environment shooting without risking the entire device. This design appeals to users who need both reliable smartphone functionality and dedicated action camera capabilities. The modular approach reduces the need for separate devices and allows the camera to function as a standalone unit for hands-free mounting or extended recording sessions. RugOne positions the feature as a practical solution for outdoor enthusiasts, adventure travelers, and professionals requiring rugged equipment. The smartphone maintains typical durability standards for ruggedized devices while adding the flexibility of detachable imaging hardware.
