Xiaomi concept clips a full-size Leica lens onto a smartphone with a screw-on mount and 10-bit RAW capture, but we won’t likely be able to buy it
Xiaomi’s new concept phone allows a full size Leica camera lens to be attached to the back of a prototype version of its 12S Ultra. The version of the smartphone released earlier this year is already notable for having a 1-inch-type camera sensor on its rear, which is far larger than those typically used in phones and more in line with what you might find in a compact standalone camera. Xiaomi’s new concept gives it both a secondary 1-inch sensor, and a full size lens to match.
I do like the way it has a solid mount, as most clip-on after market lenses suffer from not being positioned exactly correctly. A bigger sensor always means better capture. But the pity is that Xiaomi has shown concepts before which never made it into production.
Of course, such a lens is not going to be found in the bargain bin.
