Xiaomi has announced the 13 Ultra smartphone which features a quad-camera array that was co-engineered with Leica. The main camera is particularly special, as it features a variable aperture in front of a large Type 1 sensor.
The Xiaomi 13 Pro may be a successor to the previous 12 Pro, but it’s just as easy to argue that it’s more a continuation of the 12S Ultra that was only released in China. That was the first to use the Type 1 (13.1 x 9.8mm) Sony IMX989 sensor -- the same one from the popular Sony RX100 -- only customized to Xiaomi’s liking.
Can a mid-range smartphone that focuses more on gaming also deliver something worth capturing with its cameras? The Poco X5 Pro acts like it’s up for the job, only to then force a lot of compromises.
On the eve of Mobile World Congress 2023 in Barcelona, Xiaomi has finally unveiled its plans to launch its 13 Pro flagship to markets outside of China, where the device first debuted in December 2022.
Poco, a sub-brand of Xiaomi, has announced the X5 Pro which it bills as employing a winning combination of excellent visuals via a high-end AMOLED display and "advanced" camera capabilities.
In a reveal of a previously "hidden project," Xiaomi says that while it was developing the 12S Ultra, it was working on something else that was far more ambitious: a smartphone that can accept full-size Leica M-mount lenses.
Xiaomi has announced the 12T series of smartphones and the flagship 12T Pro is equipped with a 200-megapixel sensor to create massive photos and 8K videos.
What happens when you fully utilize the biggest sensor ever found in a smartphone to date? Xiaomi has done it, and the results suggest mobile photography could take a big stride forward because of it.
Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has unveiled smart glasses equipped with a 50-megapixel camera as well as an 8-megapixel periscope camera that is capable of up to 15x zoom and 100 minutes of continuous recording.

Xiaomi has announced its 12S Series which includes the Ultra that was co-engineered with Leica. That flagship features the world's largest smartphone sensor: a 50-megapixel 1-inch sensor behind a 23mm f/1.9 Leica lens.
Xiaomi has announced that it's upcoming 12S Ultra will use the full size of Sony's IMX989 1-inch sensor. The phone, which is also co-developed with Leica, will be announced on July 4.
You may know Xiaomi, but do you know Poco? Xiaomi’s sub-brand isn’t a household name on this side of the world, and the F4 GT isn’t necessarily a camera-first phone, either.
Leica has teamed up with Xiaomi in a new long-term strategic partnership to create smartphones, the first of which will launch later this year.
Xiaomi may not be a household name in North America, but the brand is a rising force around the world and now sits in third place behind Apple and Samsung. One reason it hit those heights is the way it continues to innovate on the camera side of things, which is what the 12 Pro is supposed to illustrate.
Xiaomi is back with another trio of high-end smartphones and has released the new 12 Series made up of the Xiaomi 12 Pro, Xiaomi 12, and Xiaomi 12X.
Xiaomi today has officially revealed the Xiaomi 12 lineup of flagship phones featuring a bevy of improved features like a reduced size and weight, an improved display, a bigger battery and faster charging, and a revamped camera system.
Xiaomi has announced the Mix 4, the latest in its Mix series that generally has highlighted cutting-edge technology and sleek design. The latest has an impressive array of main cameras but also features the company's first commercial launch of an under-display front-facing camera.
Multiple manufacturers are currently attempting to solve problems with a smartphone's front-facing camera. Current devices generally use a notch or hole-punch, but to keep a display seamless some are trying to hide them under the display itself. Xiaomi thinks there might be a better way.
According to a report from LetsGoDigital, the Chinese smartphone company Xiaomi has patented three new smartphone designs with huge camera arrays developed in a collaboration with Samsung.
In a play on smartphone design that would make them much more like traditional cameras, Xiaomi has patented a modular smartphone that would accept interchangeable nodes, each one with different functions.

You don’t have to be a mobile industry genius to understand which phone Xiaomi is targeting with the Mi 11 Ultra, as it’s right there in the name: Xiaomi’s squarely aiming at the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra with this highly capable camera, the top-spec phone in its Mi 11 device range.
While DJI has not been particularly challenged in the drone space in recent years, that doesn't mean others aren't trying. FIMI, a Xiaomi brand, has announced the X8 Mini, a direct competitor to the DJI Mini 2.

Xiaomi, one of the leading global smartphone manufacturers, has teased an upcoming tech that will be found in the forthcoming Mi Mix device: a liquid lens. It's the first of its kind in a smartphone and can apparently change focus and focal length just by altering the shape of the liquid element.
If you’ve been looking at Samsung’s S21 or S21+ but wished a 108-megapixel camera was on the back just like the S21 Ultra, then Xiaomi has a phone that will interest you. The Xiaomi Mi 11 adds a Samsung ISOCELL 108MP camera to an S21+-sized phone and then tempts you further with an even lower price tag.
The Xiaomi Mi 11 recently launched in Europe with the expectation that the Lite, Pro, and Ultra iterations of the phone would shortly follow. In a now-offline YouTube video, the Ultra was seemingly revealed and boasted a very unusual camera array.
