Xiaomi is gearing up to launch its next flagship smartphone series, the Xiaomi 14, later this month. The Xiaomi 14 series will be the first Xiaomi smartphone to use the company’s own HyperOS instead of the standard MIUI. Now, the company has confirmed that the upcoming smartphones will feature Leica Summilux lenses, which are known for their excellent image quality.

Xiaomi 14 series to feature Leica Summilux lenses

Leica Summilux lenses are better than the Leica Summicron lenses that Xiaomi has used on its previous flagship smartphones, including the Xiaomi 12/13 series and the Xiaomi 12S Ultra concept phone. 

Leica’s own Leitz Phone 2 uses Summicron lenses, while Leica Summilux lenses have also been used in Huawei phones, which was one of the first smartphone partners for Leica.

Xiaomi says that the camera on the Xiaomi 14 series with Leica Summilux lens will offer the best mobile imaging to date. The Xiaomi 14 lineup will also bring a new image sensor, but we are yet to learn which phone in the series will have it.

Besides the camera improvements, the new Xiaomi 14 phones will come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. The Xiaomi 14 series is expected to have at least two phones, the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro. Like past launches, Xiaomi is also expected to launch a Xiaomi 14 Ultra later next year.

We will keep you updated as more information about the Xiaomi 14 series becomes available.
