Xiaomi 12 Ultra with Leica camera

Xiaomi and Leica have officially confirmed their collaboration. It has been suspected for a few months that the two companies want to cooperate and build better camera smartphones together. Now this partnership is official. According to Xiaomi, a “jointly developed flagship smartphone with a ‘co-engineered with Leica’ camera module” should be launched as early as July 2022. The performance would have to take place a little earlier.

Both companies are of course happy about the partnership and want it taking mobile photography to a new level together. Of course, Xiaomi should benefit greatly from the legendary camera manufacturer’s more than 100 years of experience. In its collaboration with Huawei, Leica has already shown how much better smartphone cameras can become when professionals are involved. With the Mi 11 Ultra, Xiaomi has also already shown what the Chinese company can do in the camera sector. It was the best camera smartphone on the market according to DxOMark for a while. Meanwhile, Honor and Huawei are better.

Xiaomi 12 Ultra could become the new camera king

Many Xiaomi fans have been waiting for a real flagship smartphone for a long time. The Chinese company currently also offers good cell phones with the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro, but these models are not really outstanding in any respect. That should change with the Xiaomi 12 Ultra, which in turn can keep up with models like the Galaxy S22 Ultra (for testing) from Samsung and set new standards. It will be interesting to see how good the new Xiaomi 12 Ultra will be and if it will be really widely available. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra was basically hard to get and then quietly disappeared from the market.
