Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi 13 Ultra (review) flagship last month. It debuted with top-of-the-line specifications. With the Leica-branded cameras and various imaging capabilities, the brand took mobile imaging to a whole new level. Apple and Huawei are strong contenders when it comes to mobile imaging. Xiaomi knows that the road is long and it needs to be polished in every detail.
Xiaomi signs contract with AAC Technologies for WLG high-lens lenses
Now in a new development, a Weibo user has stated that Xiaomi has signed a contract with AAC Technologies, a company that designs, develops, and manufactures a broad range of components that include speakers, receivers, microphones, and more. The contract agreement has been signed between the two parties to manufacture WLG high-lens lenses. With this, Xiaomi aims to take up its photographic capabilities. The next-generation Xiaomi 14 series is said to be one of the first products to benefit from the high-end lenses.
Many Xiaomi devices have used a lot of WLG glass-plastic hybrids. The Xiaomi CIVI 2 uses a WLG glass-plastic hybrid lens which comprises one WLG wafer-level glass lens and six plastic lens which delivers a larger aperture and a sharper lens. The contract with AAC Technologies is an important step in Xiaomi’s strategy for high-end smartphones. Additionally, the two companies are considered to be old partners.
Recently, Xiaomi and AAC Technologies also established the Mi and AAC camera joint laboratory which will work on new imaging technologies.
