Nitpick: the author claims there hasn't been a camera-style grip available for phones since 2013, but Sony's Xperia Pro-1(I?)[1] can be used with their Bluetooth grip.[2]
The Pro-1 was designed with a similar goal - try to make a pretty solid point-and-shoot camera in a phone form factor - and IMO it was fairly successful. It doesn't capture images as vividly (especially in low light) as phones that do more post-processing, but the results are also more genuine. It can save in JPEG+RAW like a serious camera. Like the other Xperias I've had, it's close to the stock Android, and there are only a few annoying changes/non-removable apps.
I'm curious if Xiaomi is able to do better here, especially with more room in the case.
[1] I own one,and I'm still not sure if it's supposed to be the number 1, a Roman numeral I, the letter I, a vertical pipe, or something else.
