The Greatest Xiaomi 12S Ultra Concept That Can be Installed With a Leica M lens
Xiaomi once again goes viral because of its latest video showing the greatness of the Xiaomi 12S Ultra Concept Edition. This smartphone comes in with the Xiaomi 12S Ultra series, where this model became the flagship one, thanks to its most advanced cameras and a 1-inch and Leica technology.
Sensor Sony IMX989
Through the teaser uploaded on their Weibo, the Xiaomi 12S Ultra Concept has a similar appearance to the standard version. It’s just that in the Ultra Concept version it has a second 50MP camera on the back that uses a 1-inch Sony IMX989 sensor.
The Sony IMX989 sensor is supported by 10-bit RAW which is in the center but is not covered by a lens; instead uses sapphire glass which is claimed to be dust-resistant and scratch-resistant so that it can protect the sensor part. Also, it can be removed and provide space for the Leica M Series lens to be attached to that section.
Professional Photography with the Leica M
The cool thing is that the sapphire glass module can be removed and installed with an adapter; users can only install various types of Leica M series lenses. One of them is the Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH as shown in the teaser video.
To provide space for a secondary sensor that functions as a place to attach an additional lens, a periscope ultra-wide camera telephoto 48MP which was originally in the middle position, was shifted to the side.
Xiaomi says that this phone will rely on AI Image Solution to process the resulting photos and offers the option of capturing photos in 10-bit RAW so that the installed Leica lens will be integrated with the camera application that makes it possible to use the feature like autofocus peaking, zebra lines, until histogram.
Even though it’s only a concept, Xiaomi has a vision that this smartphone will be like a professional camera capable of creating a photo with a depth of field authenticity. Reportedly, this sophisticated photography will be supported using the powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and can have functions such as multitasking that surpass the mirrorless camera.
Not Sold Publicly
Reportedly, the Xiaomi 12S Ultra Concept will only be produced in advance of 10 units and will not sell publicly. But don’t worry, for some influencers, the lucky ones are rumoured to get this super smartphone one.
