Snap has launched a new Lens Creator Rewards scheme that pays creators of popular AR lenses up to $7,200 per month. The performance of lenses will be measured in the United States, India, and Mexico.

Alongside its recently announced 12S Ultra, Xiaomi has unveiled a concept version of the device which includes a Leica interchangeable lens system on the camera, the first of its kind in a phone.

Snap has unveiled its SPS 2021 Spectacles. Unlike other Spectacles devices, the SPS 2021 will not be going on sale, instead, it's being reserved for Lens creators so they can create AR Lenses.

Snap has added Lens Explorer to Snapchat in an effort to propagate community-created Lenses far and wide. It said community Lenses have already been viewed by users 2.5 billion times.
