The Xiaomi 14 may very well be the kind of phone most should experience, in part because it brings the Leica camera hardware and software to the fore. Previously, Xiaomi only included all Leica features in its Pro or Ultra models, but has now done it for this, the smallest of the bunch. This time, the 14 Pro is a Chinese market exclusive, leaving the 14 and 14 Ultra as the two global options.
After launching in China, Xiaomi is bringing two devices in its 14 Series, the 14 and 14 Ultra, to global availability at its keynote in Barcelona on the eve of Mobile World Congress.
Xiaomi launched the 13T Pro and 13T as a way to bring its Leica mobile photography partnership to mid-range and affordable phones. The results are strong evidence that brands can produce cost-effective cameras for those on tighter budgets.

Xiaomi unveiled two new smartphones in its Leica-affiliated lineup ta a launch event in Berlin, this time going the more mid-range and affordable route by way of the 13T Pro and 13T.
If there was even a sliver of doubt that Xiaomi wanted the mobile photography crown, the 13 Ultra is the phone to dispel that notion and cement that pursuit. Xiaomi equipped it with the tools to take on the best, no matter who the other brands are.
The Apple iPad rules the tablet space to the degree that there really aren't any true challengers despite attempts from the likes of Samsung and Lenovo. Xiaomi is also in that ring and is attempting to differentiate its Pad 6 by positioning it as a tool for "more effective work."
Xiaomi has announced the 13 Ultra smartphone which features a quad-camera array that was co-engineered with Leica. The main camera is particularly special, as it features a variable aperture in front of a large Type 1 sensor.
The Xiaomi 13 Pro may be a successor to the previous 12 Pro, but it’s just as easy to argue that it’s more a continuation of the 12S Ultra that was only released in China. That was the first to use the Type 1 (13.1 x 9.8mm) Sony IMX989 sensor -- the same one from the popular Sony RX100 -- only customized to Xiaomi’s liking.
On the eve of Mobile World Congress 2023 in Barcelona, Xiaomi has finally unveiled its plans to launch its 13 Pro flagship to markets outside of China, where the device first debuted in December 2022.
In a reveal of a previously "hidden project," Xiaomi says that while it was developing the 12S Ultra, it was working on something else that was far more ambitious: a smartphone that can accept full-size Leica M-mount lenses.
Xiaomi has announced the 12T series of smartphones and the flagship 12T Pro is equipped with a 200-megapixel sensor to create massive photos and 8K videos.

Xiaomi has announced that it's upcoming 12S Ultra will use the full size of Sony's IMX989 1-inch sensor. The phone, which is also co-developed with Leica, will be announced on July 4.
Leica has teamed up with Xiaomi in a new long-term strategic partnership to create smartphones, the first of which will launch later this year.
Xiaomi may not be a household name in North America, but the brand is a rising force around the world and now sits in third place behind Apple and Samsung. One reason it hit those heights is the way it continues to innovate on the camera side of things, which is what the 12 Pro is supposed to illustrate.
Xiaomi is back with another trio of high-end smartphones and has released the new 12 Series made up of the Xiaomi 12 Pro, Xiaomi 12, and Xiaomi 12X.

Multiple manufacturers are currently attempting to solve problems with a smartphone's front-facing camera. Current devices generally use a notch or hole-punch, but to keep a display seamless some are trying to hide them under the display itself. Xiaomi thinks there might be a better way.
According to a report from LetsGoDigital, the Chinese smartphone company Xiaomi has patented three new smartphone designs with huge camera arrays developed in a collaboration with Samsung.
In a play on smartphone design that would make them much more like traditional cameras, Xiaomi has patented a modular smartphone that would accept interchangeable nodes, each one with different functions.

Xiaomi has been granted a patent to develop an under-screen smartphone camera that can rotate and therefore act both as a selfie and traditional rear-facing camera.
You don’t have to be a mobile industry genius to understand which phone Xiaomi is targeting with the Mi 11 Ultra, as it’s right there in the name: Xiaomi’s squarely aiming at the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra with this highly capable camera, the top-spec phone in its Mi 11 device range.
On March 25, Xiaomi teased that it would announce a new smartphone that used a liquid lens, and that device has finally been revealed. The Mi Mix Fold has been announced for a China-only release and features two other high-megapixel cameras in addition to the liquid lens camera.
Xiaomi has announced the Mi 11 Ultra, a smartphone that takes the original Mi 11 that already boasted pretty great camera performance and racks it up to another level with a giant camera bump that features a 50MP wide, a 48MP ultra-wide, a 48MP telephoto, and a tiny OLED display.
Xiaomi, one of the leading global smartphone manufacturers, has teased an upcoming tech that will be found in the forthcoming Mi Mix device: a liquid lens. It's the first of its kind in a smartphone and can apparently change focus and focal length just by altering the shape of the liquid element.

Fujifilm China "welcomed" Xiaomi into the 100MP club with a social media post that's almost certainly a tongue-in-cheek troll of the tiny 108MP image sensor found in the company's recent CC9 Pro/Mi Note 10 smartphone.
Xiaomi has officially revealed the Xiaomi CC9 Pro, the company's first full-production smartphone that features Samsung's crazy 108MP image sensor and a ridiculous penta-camera array on the rear of the phone.
As promised in its teaser from a few weeks ago, Xiaomi has become the first manufacturer to release a smartphone with Samsung's crazy 108MP image sensor inside.
