The next step for camera phones?
The 12S Ultra was released in June with a Leica-branded camera and a big one-inch sensor, but despite the branding and Leica filters, it's no real match for an actual Leica camera. But now Xiaomi's dreamed up a possible solution that would allow Leica M lenses to be attached to a smartphone.posted on Weibo shows a concept for a phone with a one-inch, 50.3-megapixel sensor in the middle of the camera island.
Why not just buy a Leica camera? Well, the compact size of smartphones is one of the reasons they've become the preferred solution for many. Even with a chunky lens, a phone would still be easier to lug about than a camera body. Such a slim device with a big lens looks a little bizarre, but it could be a near solution for travel photography for those that like to travel light.
There are a lot of positive responses on Twitter from people wanting to see the concept executed, although some noted that Sony's QX camera series already blurred the line between camera and camera phone almost a decade ago. There's no word from Xiaomi on whether it will reach the market. Reportedly, only a few handsets have been at a production cost reported to be over $41,000.
