As the Xiaomi 13 Ultra is set to make waves in the smartphone market with its advanced camera system, a recent teaser by the company suggests an innovative accessory that could redefine smartphone photography.

Xiaomi has consistently pushed the envelope in smartphone photography, and the upcoming Xiaomi 13 Ultra aims to continue that legacy. Boasting a remarkable camera setup, the device is expected to feature four 50MP rear cameras, including a standout 1-inch Sony IMX989 sensor with a variable aperture.

Adding to the excitement, Xiaomi has now hinted at an inventive camera grip accessory. Though there’s a possibility that the Weibo post could be a creative marketing tactic, Lei Jun’s post suggests that the accessory is designed to enhance the Xiaomi 13 Ultra’s camera-like appearance and functionality. The grip seems to feature a dedicated shutter button, further streamlining the photography experience.

Xiaomi’s penchant for experimenting with its Ultra flagship line was evident when they introduced the Xiaomi 12S Ultra Concept. This limited edition phone allowed users to attach interchangeable lenses, including compatibility with Leica M-series lenses. Although the concept phone served as a platform to showcase technological innovation, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra is a consumer-focused, mass-produced smartphone.
