Xiaomi has narrowed the gap between smartphones and premium digital cameras with the release of the Xiaomi 12S Ultra and its 1 ”sensor. 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.
This concept device has a second 1 “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.

This requires an adapter, which makes the device bulky. However, note what we said according to 1 “sensor – this concept can take photos and videos like a normal phone because it has the same main camera as the 12S Ultra (1” sensor, 23mm lens) and an ultra wide angle camera (13mm), which can be used without any hardware extras.
