Dreame founder and CEO Yu Hao has shared a video showing a real prototype of the company’s upcoming modular smartphone. The clip offers an early look at a device that appears to focus heavily on hardware flexibility rather than the more typical sealed-phone approach used across most of today’s market.
Based on the video, the phone uses a white rear panel, and its round rear camera assembly can be removed directly from the body. The lens section appears to connect through a magnetic contact setup, which suggests Dreame is building the device around a swappable imaging concept instead of treating the camera system as a fixed part of the chassis.
The back cover itself can also be detached. That means the whole phone can be stripped down into a thinner form, at least in the configuration shown in the demonstration. From the front, the handset appears to use a centered selfie camera, although the display wasn’t lit up, so other screen details still aren’t visible yet.
Earlier reporting noted that Dreame’s phone team appeared at a Southwest Europe distributor conference in January with both a luxury series and a flagship modular smartphone line. Slides shown at the event included a modular phone concept with a wider accessory ecosystem, hinting that the removable parts may be tied to a broader platform rather than just one experimental add-on.
There’s also a March leak from blogger Digital Chat Station claiming the new Dreame AURORA model will target the high-end imaging segment. That rumor described a setup with a 1-inch main camera and a removable camera module, along with an independent SoC, sensor, power supply, and communications connection system that supports both pin-based contact points and wireless transmission. For now, the public video mainly confirms that Dreame really is testing a phone built around interchangeable hardware ideas.
