The Xiaomi 12S Ultra, released back in July 2022, was the best camera phone that Xiaomi ever produced, but sadly, the company didn’t bring the phone out of China. However, the CEO of Xiaomi, Lei Jun, promised that the Xiaomi 13 Ultra would be available globally.
Now, after waiting for close to a year, we finally know when the Xiaomi 13 Ultra is coming out, thanks to a tweet by Leica Camera.
According to the tweet, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will have a unique and first-in-the-world camera system, including a new Summicron lens. Thanks to a leaked image from Weibo, we roughly know how the camera setup is going to be.
According to Sparrows News, the phone features several apertures for camera lenses and additional sensors, with four of them dedicated to camera lenses, which include a periscope telephoto lens. The camera system is located within a circular enclosure on the elevated top part of the back, along with other functionalities like the rear microphone, flash, and focusing sensor placements.
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is said to be equipped with a Leica Quad camera setup, which is composed of a 50MP primary camera, an ultra-wide-angle lens, a periscopic zoom lens, and a telephoto lens. This camera configuration reportedly supports up to 10x optical zoom.
Take note that these are all rumours and speculations, so it might not be true. We will be keeping our eyes open for any official news from Xiaomi regarding the 13 Ultra.
