Xiaomi illustrates how the idea is planned to function with lenses from Leica’s M-series portfolio in a teaser clip. GSMArena says that the Chinese tech behemoth previously partnered with Leica to co-develop the camera system utilized in the 12S Ultra, which includes working jointly on the design of its optics. However, it claims that upgrading to a full-size camera lens transforms the smartphone into a “professional photo-making tool,” with advantages such as “genuine depth of focus” rather than the software-based background blurring techniques present in most smartphones.
