But even that has lenses with fixed focal lengths like a typical smartphone.  Now the company offers a rare look behind the scenes: there were actually two designs being developed at the same time, one of which became the 12S Ultra.  The other is a hybrid between a smartphone and a mirrorless camera.<\/p>\n<p>This concept device has a second 1 &#8220;sensor, one that is not covered by its own lens (but is covered by sapphire crystal for protection). This allows the user to connect Leica M mount lenses, opening the door for use ( semi) professional. The wide variety of lenses is combined with an advanced camera app that supports focus peaking, zebra lines, a histogram and other tools that photographers have come to expect. And of course support for RAW at 10 bit.<\/p><div id=\"forum-1969851323\" class=\"forum-content-2 forum-entity-placement\">\t\t<div class=\"ad-wrapper\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:250px;text-align:center\">\r\n\t\t\t<!-- In Article Blog -->\r\n\t\t\t<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n\t\t\t\t style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3476569516614521\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-slot=\"9829044906\"><\/ins>\r\n\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<p class=\"image-row clearfix\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A hybrid smartphone \/ mirrorless camera concept based on the Xiaomi 12S Ultra\" width=\"155\" height=\"206\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Xiaomi-unveils-the-concept-phone-with-a-Leica-M-lens.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A hybrid smartphone \/ mirrorless camera concept based on the Xiaomi 12S Ultra\" width=\"155\" height=\"206\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/1667393883_206_Xiaomi-unveils-the-concept-phone-with-a-Leica-M-lens.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A hybrid smartphone \/ mirrorless camera concept based on the Xiaomi 12S Ultra\" width=\"155\" height=\"206\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/1667393883_380_Xiaomi-unveils-the-concept-phone-with-a-Leica-M-lens.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A hybrid smartphone \/ mirrorless camera concept based on the Xiaomi 12S Ultra\" width=\"155\" height=\"206\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/1667393883_849_Xiaomi-unveils-the-concept-phone-with-a-Leica-M-lens.jpg\"><br \/>\n<br \/><span><strong>A hybrid smartphone \/ mirrorless camera concept based on the Xiaomi 12S Ultra<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>This requires an adapter, which makes the device bulky.
