1-inch second-of-a-kind sensor Sony IMX989 With support for ten-bit RAW images, it is placed in the center of the camera module. Unlike usual professional cameras, this lens is covered with sapphire glass, which, although it protects it from external factors, has a negative effect on the final quality of the photo. Of course, as we said, we are dealing with a concept phone.

Due to the placement of this 1-inch camera in the center of the module, the 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera has been moved to the side of the module and has taken the place of the 48-megapixel periscope camera of the original version.

As can be seen in the video published by Xiaomi, in order to attach the lens, the protective ring around the camera module must be removed. Next, with a converter, the lens is connected to the Xiaomi smartphone; Of course, only Leica M lenses can be seen in the images published by the Chinese, the Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH lens.

Since we are dealing with a concept phone, we should not wait for its mass production. However, Xiaomi developed it alongside the original version of the 12S Ultra phone, and only 10 samples were produced, some of which were given to influencers for a brief review. The price of each sample of this device is 41,210 dollars!
