We sat down with GoPro's Pablo Lema to discuss the company's future and its plan for competing with smartphones.

GoPro views its cameras as complementary to smartphones, not in direct competition. Each device serves different purposes and has unique capabilities.
The ruggedness and convenience of GoPro cameras make them appealing for capturing activities that smartphones aren't designed for, such as extreme sports and outdoor adventures.
GoPro is continuously working on improving the user experience, with a focus on simplifying controls and introducing new features like zoom, depth, and long photography. Additionally, the company is developing advanced editing capabilities to make it easier for users to navigate and share their footage.
