Xiaomi to showcase Leica camera tech at MWC 2023

At MWC, Xiaomi is expected to announce its partnership with Leica for the global markets. Leica previously partnered with Huawei and this latest collaboration comes after the US banning Huawei from doing business with US brands, which also made Huawei limit the availability of its smartphones to select markets.

The Xiaomi 12S Ultra was the first smartphone to highlight the partnership between both brands. Again, the device was limited to China. With the Xiaomi 13 series, the company will take this partnership to a global level, and we can also expect the launch of the same in India in the next few weeks, possibly by the end of February or by early March 2023.
