The premium version of Xiaomi’s latest flagship hit the market in mid-July and is a gem of mobile photography . The Xiaomi 12S Ultra was launched with a 1-inch Sony main sensor, an ultra wide angle and a 48-megapixel telephoto sensor, in addition to a ToF 3D sensor. Is it possible to further improve this camera? Well, everything seems to indicate yes.
The brand has announced on its Weibo account the arrival of a new version specially designed for photographers. This is the new Xiaomi 12S Ultra Concept, an edition that adds support for using professional Leica lenses.

Likewise, in the mobile camera module there is a support for SLR camera lenses . Specifically, the lenses that can be used with the Xiaomi 12S Ultra Concept are those of the Leica M series . What does this mean in terms of photography? Well, users will be able to experiment with professional parameters such as focal length, angle of view, etc.
Currently, mobile photography is highly dependent on software image processing techniques and artificial intelligence. Thus, the new Xiaomi 12S Ultra Concept represents an opportunity for photography professionals to transfer their technical skills to the world of mobile telephony.
Unfortunately, the brand informed the Android Authority that, for the time being, this mobile will not be sold to the public and will remain a conceptual device that only a few will be able to test.
And you… Would you like to test your Leica lenses with the Xiaomi 12S Ultra Concept camera?
