Reports also suggest this could be the Xiaomi 12 Ultra or even the brand-new Xiaomi 13 series. Presently, not much is known about the upcoming phone. We can expect an immersive WQHD+ AMOLED display, a massive battery with fast-charging support, and a stylish design.

Of course, the cameras might be the key highlight of the alleged Xiaomi 12 Ultra, if that is what the phone will be called. Xiaomi CEO CEO Lei Jun said, "this cooperation will provide a strong boost to Xiaomi's imaging strategy."

The new Xiaomi-Leica partnership will further up the competition in the flagship segment. Particularly, Xiaomi is a very popular brand in India, offering a wide range of smartphones. Presently, Sony, Nokia, and Vivo have partnered with Zeiss. Whereas, OnePlus and Oppo have joined hands with Hasselblad.

And now, we have Xiaomi with Leica for its imaging. Presently, a few details remain unclear. For one, will Xiaomi's sub-brand Redmi also get advanced Leica filters for its flagships? We expect to know more details ahead of the July launch.
