We have witnessed this year the end of one big partnership in the mobile world. The merger of the Chinese giant Huawei with the German company Leica is a thing of the past, which does not mean that the company from Wetzlar will withdraw from the mobile market for good, as evidenced by a smartphone issued under her own brand. For a long time, there was also speculation as to who the company would start working with in the production of mobile cameras, and now we have probably received an answer.
Another Chinese giant – Xiaomi – will be Leica’s partner in the world of smartphones. According to the well-known leader Digital Chat Station from the social network Weibo, we know that the first smartphone, which will be created in cooperation between Xiaomi and Leica, will be the upcoming flagship Xiaomi 12 Ultra.
It is not yet clear how deep the cooperation will be
It is not yet clear how deep the two companies will work together, with both sober consulting and a few software tweaks at stake, as well as deep collaboration in which Leica will be directly involved in the research and development of the Xiaomi 12 Ultra cameras. We should see this sometime in the first quarter of 2022.
