RugOne’s Xsnap 7 Pro comes with both an IP68 and IP69K rating, meaning the rugged phone can survive intense water blasts and complete submersion for up to 30 minutes. But what really sets the Xsnap 7 Pro apart from everything else on the market is that one of its three rear cameras can be removed and used as a standalone action cam. It made its debut at MWC 2026 earlier this year but is launching through Kickstarter on September 7th for €799 (around $930) in limited quantities, followed by a global release in October for $999.
The Xsnap 7 Pro’s detachable camera module isn’t quite as a capable as the DJI Osmo Nano or the Insta360 Go Ultra that both record at 4K. Its video capabilities max out at 2.7K at up to 30fps captured through a 133-degree ultrawide field-of-view lens. Video is processed by distortion correction algorithms to keep subjects looking natural, while software stabilization helps smooth out footage even when the camera is flipped 360 degrees, RugOne claims.
