The partnership between Huawei and Insta360 made it possible to make the camera a clip-on attachment for smartphones, which would provide a hassle free experience when taking photos and videos. The captured photos and videos will be 3K in resolution. The exact specifications such as sensor size or resolution of video have not yet been announced but there will be more details at the MWC 2017.

The Honor VR Camera features two cameras with wide angle lenses, but their exact shooting specifications are not yet known. In the image shown to the press, the camera has a USB Type-C plug. It goes directly into the port of smartphone and the controls are all located within an application. 

There are no details yet about the Honor VR Camera’s pricing or release date. The Chinese tech company plans to release the clip-on accessory internationally.

Huawei is not the first company to develop a camera add-on. Its partner Insta360 has a camera add-on called Insta360 Nano that is available for the iPhone 6 and 7 for $195. It takes 360-degree videos at up to 3040 x 1520 resolution at 30 frames per second. The company is set to release another product called Insta360 Pro for professional photographers.
