The phone features a MediaTek Dimensity 8400 chipset, 12GB RAM (expandable up to 24GB), 512GB storage, and a massive 9000mAh battery with 45W fast charging.

• Magnetic action camera module detaches to clip onto backpack straps or helmets for first-person video capture.
• MediaTek Dimensity 8400 chipset with 5G connectivity, 12GB RAM expandable to 24GB, and 512GB internal storage.
• Huge 9000mAh battery with 45W fast charging. Winner of ”Best of MWC 2026” awards from Android Authority, Digital Trends, Geek Spin, and NextPit.

The phone will be showcased at booth 2D060 during the 38th annual ”Sviaz-2026” telecom expo from April 7-10 at Moscow’s Timiryazev Center exhibition complex.

Detachable action camera built for adventure

The standout feature of the RugOne Xsnap 7 Pro is its magnetic action camera module embedded in the back panel. This camera can be removed and mounted directly onto backpack straps, helmets, or other gear, enabling first-person point-of-view recording without holding the phone.

The phone sports a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Photography-wise, it packs a dual rear camera setup with 50MP and 64MP sensors, plus a 32MP front-facing camera. Powering it all is the massive 9000mAh battery that supports 45W fast wired charging.

Performance specs and Russian availability

Under the hood, the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 chipset provides 5G connectivity and solid performance. The device includes 12GB of RAM, expandable by another 12GB through dynamic RAM technology, and offers 512GB of onboard storage.

The RugOne Xsnap 7 Pro earned the ”Best of MWC 2026” award from top tech outlets including Android Authority, Digital Trends, Geek Spin, and NextPit. Its Russian release through diHouse is expected in late spring 2026.

Rugged smartphones with modular cameras remain a niche segment globally, with few manufacturers offering truly detachable action cameras integrated into the phone itself. Most competitors depend on external accessories or apps rather than built-in removable modules. This makes the RugOne Xsnap 7 Pro an intriguing choice for outdoor enthusiasts and content creators seeking a rugged device with versatile video capabilities.

Watch how the detachable camera performs in real-world conditions and whether Ulefone’s approach influences larger brands. As demand for rugged phones grows alongside adventure content creation, integrated modular cameras could establish a unique niche within the crowded smartphone landscape.
