Last month, Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi 13 Ultra (review). The device debuted with top-of-the-line specifications. As a result of Leica-branded cameras and various imaging capabilities, mobile imaging has reached a whole new level. When it comes to mobile imaging, Apple and Huawei are strong contenders. There is a long road ahead for Xiaomi, and every detail must be polished.
Weibo user has reported that Xiaomi has signed a contract with AAC Technologies, which designs, develops, and manufactures a broad range of components, including speakers, receivers, microphones, and more. A contract agreement has been signed between the two parties to manufacture WLG high-lens lenses. Xiaomi aims to expand its photographic capabilities with this move. Xiaomi’s next-generation 14 series is said to be one of the first to use high-end lenses.
There have been a lot of WLG glass-plastic hybrids used in Xiaomi devices. Xiaomi CIVI 2 utilizes a WLG glass-plastic hybrid lens which consists of one glass wafer-level lens and six plastic lenses. This provides a larger aperture and sharper images. Xiaomi’s contract with AAC Technologies is an important step in its strategy for high-end smartphones. Moreover, both companies are old partners.
AAC Technologies and Xiaomi recently set up a joint lab to develop new imaging technologies.
