At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, realme revealed a concept phone called “Ultra,” featuring an interchangeable lens system. realme’s concept is more in line with traditional camera mounts, offering a dual-mount system. realme combines the Ultra prototype with two lenses: a 73mm and a 234mm—both have manual focus and aperture rings, with the 73mm notably resembling Leica’s design. The system also includes two lenses inspired by the Leica M-mount, though realme clarified that there’s no direct partnership with Leica. realme solely developed said two lenses and the use of M-mount was mainly due to its compact size and flexible focal lengths. In a demo against the iPhone 16 Pro Max, realme’s Ultra clearly surpassed the Apple device. Since this is a concept, it won’t likely hit the market anytime soon.
