Xiaomi's Concept Phone Adds a Full-Size Leica Lens on a Smartphone

— November 2, 2022 — Tech
Xiaomi's new concept phone comes with a new feature that allows consumers to attach a full-size Leica camera lens to the back of the ‘12S Ultra.’ Xiaomi demonstrates how the idea is made to work with Leica M-series lenses. In contrast to the software-based backdrop blurring techniques available in most smartphones, the firm claims that upgrading to a full-size camera lens transforms the smartphone into a "professional photo-making tool," with advantages like "authentic depth of focus."

According to Xiaomi, the concept phone will support 10-bit RAW photography and use its AI Image Solution to analyze images. Focus peaking, zebra lines, and a histogram are just a few of the software capabilities that the attachable lens would offer alongside its camera app.

The brand currently has yet to plan to mass-produce the new lens for wider use, as it often lets concept devices remain as concepts. For more information, interested parties can visit Xiaomi’s website.
