Xiaomi has partnered with Leica to make a smartphone that bends strongly in photography. The camera array includes a 1-inch 50-megapixel main sensor Sony, F/2.2 50MP ultravid camera, a 50MP medium-range lens with a 70mm focal length and 200MP periscope massif with 100mm focal length-which is an increase in 4.7x.

The individual Xiaomi photography kit involves adding the camera grip with a physical button of the prison, an adjustable dial and a specialized video button. You will also be able to attach a standard 67 -million -million adapter filter to a case – in other words, part of the equipment you can use on a special camera is compatible with Ultra 15 as part of this setting.
