The first phone with an external lens is so niche that I had to try it for myself
(www.androidauthority.com)
By far not the first one.

Yeah I feel like I remembered these from the early 2010s
Samsung Galaxy Camera
Thats the one. I remember loving the phone until I saw a man who had it in his shirt pocket and it was so ugly I said no thanks. Got a note edge which I loved
There was also the Hasselblad camera back for the Moto Z series.
Those were so cool.
Sadly my Z4 died not long after i got my camera.
“The first phone I’ve noticed with an external lens…”
It is a crime to not remember the Nokia Lumia models with external cameras.
I fuckin loved those phones. I was devastated when I dropped my 1020 and broke the camera
It's niche but I wish that it wasn't.
Is that a lens on your pocket or you just happy to see me?
It's silly that a socket to affix a lens on a phone isn't a normal thing. Unless I don't understand how lenses work.
