Earlier today (23rd May 2022), Xiaomi had announced that it will be partnering up with Leica for its next generation of flagship smartphones. Now, the company’s CEO talked more about the new collaboration.
Lei Jun, CEO and Founder of the Chinese tech giant, took to Twitter (now deleted) to share some details regarding the new partnership with Leica. He stated that just a few years ago, smartphone photography in low light was just “smears of darkness.” But now, there has been a huge improvement in overall night performance. He added that with the new collaboration, newer milestones will be reached. Lei Jun believes that current smartphones do not capture the true essence of the night and just light up the low light scene. But the collaboration will help make low light scenes have a “sense of night” and not just shots that are bright as day.
The senior official stated that the partnership with Leica was chosen due to their century long years of experience. Leica specializes in a variety of aspects ranging from optics, imaging, image processing, and is even experienced in the smartphone industry as well. Notably, Lei Jun also revealed that the first co-engineered product that takes advantage of the Xiaomi x Leica co-development efforts will be launching sometime in July 2022.
In other words, the next gen flagship smartphone with improved camera performance will be announced soon. As of right now finer details regarding this device is unknown, although, we can expect to hear more regarding this in the coming weeks. The brand is working in depth with Leica to offer an improved camera experience on the upcoming handset.
