I’m an Apple user but this what I love about Xiaomi. They always think outside the box and serving us true innovations. Love this! 👏🏻

[kenjinozomu]

These guys are always getting more and more creative with the ideas, which I freaking love.

[kumatv]

I've imagined a phone like this few years ago, now I know this concept isn't a gimmick, this is innovation right here♥️

[oamost]

as a Xiaomi home ecosystem user, I admire their efforts for trying to figure out actual useful cases and how well they work in real everyday life scenarios. I wish the best for the company and their people.

Leica M lenses + 1" sensor + Xiaomi post processing + instant social platforms = The best mobile camera in the world. Well done Xiaomi.

This concept is more hyped than any recent smartphones launches.eagerly waiting for this to happen.

I loved the 12s Ultra, this model is really amazing. I see that there is room to improve his software even more and make it even better than it already is. And now with the possibility of putting in lenses this is really amazing.

Awesome! Love having proper sensor and optics on a phone camera! And the changeable lenzes as well! Looking forward to having it available in retail shops. Had a Samsung kZoom for a few years, and it was a pleasure to have proper optics and not just a glorified pinhole camera.

Though it's a concept phone, to me I think this concept is the most ambitious by far. It would be great if it will be mass produced or at least the camera module should not be dropped. I love it

[TheChrisDecember]

I hope this comes to production. I would love to buy in the future!

[bittim]

I kinda feel like this is where cameras WILL eventually end up. In the next 10 years or so. The technology isn't ready just yet but I think this is really cool and completely (or at least mostly) solves the issue of phones not having the hardware to match mirrorless cameras

[SkvalaGaming]

This looks truly spectacular. I hope we'd able to buy this very soon

been a xiaomi user since 2013 Redmi 1s and going strong with Poco f3.
Let's do it Xiaomi

Yang saya suka dari video ini adalah xiaomi tetap menggunakan bahasa bangsanya sendiri yaitu mandarin dalam menjelaskan konsep teknologinya disertai translasi bahasa inggris. Ini patut dicontoh oleh brand2 Indonesia yang mau ke kancah internasional. Bahasa adalah produk budaya sendiri.

[WonderBoggle]

That's a good start and it's really good that you've gone with a 1" sensor - but please also make a mount adapter for Micro Four Thirds lenses which would suit the 1" sensor size a bit better than Leica M mount. Leica also manufacture Micro Four Thirds lenses so it would make sense to do this from a commercial point of view, and you would be able to reach a bigger market as more people own Micro Four Thirds lenses than Leica M lenses.

If you're able to, also offering a C-Mount adapter would be ideal too to make the best possible use out of the 1" sensor size.

[riddy]

I cannot wait for this to hit the market! I've already come back here at least 20 times to watch this masterpiece

[adudadu]

This idea has been circulating in my mind for years and glad someone finally did it.

[amymanen]

This is incredible. You guys are mad geniuses, and I really look forward to seeing people use it in action.

Recently I have been thinking of the future of smartphone photography scene in coming years, and what shape it will take as technology and reasearch keeps getting more and more advanced. The most immediate idea was of attaching proper high quality glass right on to phones, just like how we do on SLRs and Mirrorless systems alike. And here Im seeing this idea already coming to a realisation and a concept has already been developed, and that too by none other than Xiaomi. As expected of you guys always being a step ahead of the curve. So remember the reason Xiaomi is my favourite brand is because you guys care about Art and Innovation. So never change!

[tahakhan]

This is a game changer! Imagine Nikon and Canon mount on this smartphone! As a professional photographer this will be my must-have phone once launched
