Xiaomi 13 Ultra:-

The Xiaomi 13 Ultra will be available in China on April 18. The Chinese manufacturer has begun teasing several aspects of the phone ahead of its release. The company recently revealed some information about the camera sensors used in the smartphone. The company has now given us our first official look at the Xiaomi 13 Ultra's design, and it looks more like a camera than a smartphone. The upcoming flagship phone is expected to succeed the Xiaomi 12S Ultra and will include cameras tuned by Leica.

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun recently shared a couple of promotional images of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra on Weibo, which teases the design of the upcoming handset. It is a smartphone silhouette with a camera-like design. "With the blessing of this suit, the phone transforms into a camera!" Jun wrote in the post. Professional photography is available on the Mi 13 Ultra. "There are so many fun things in this set," she says, adding that more details will be revealed and discussed at the press conference.

Despite the lack of clarity, it can be assumed from the post that the camera-like bump and grip seen in the promotional image are an external case that can be attached and detached from the Xiaomi 13 Ultra. It is worth noting that the Xiaomi 12S Ultra Concept allowed users to attach a Leica M-series lens module to its body, so Xiaomi may use a similar mechanism this time.

According to the company, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra "is a professional imaging device, not a camera phone." (translated) According to the official post, a unique model of the phone will be given away for "re-evaluation" at the April 18 launch press conference.

The handset was confirmed earlier today to have Leica-tuned cameras with special Summicron lenses, as well as Sony IMX989 and Sony IMX858 sensors. The quad camera setup will include a 50-megapixel Sony IMX989 sensor and three 50-megapixel Sony IMX858 sensors with improved noise reduction and HDR features.
