A surprising rumor has emerged when rumors claim that the collaboration between Xiaomi and Leica will end in the near future. This speculation started from the latest tweet by the famous leaker, Digital Chat Station, which stated that the Xiaomi series will stop collaborating with Leica.
However, Xiaomi immediately came out to deny the claim. Wang Hua, General Manager of Xiaomi Public Relations, slammed the rumor as baseless, while referring back to similar speculation that had appeared around June 2024.
Although the rumors continue to spread, Xiaomi insists that their collaboration with Leica is still ongoing and getting stronger. Among the steps that show the continuation of the collaboration include the new camera watermark design, the introduction of Leica-exclusive image modes, and color tone adjustments in the user interface.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra continues to be a symbol of the close collaboration between Xiaomi and Leica through the use of the Leica camera system and the iconic design that is still maintained. Until now, no official statement has been issued by Leica regarding the claim. However, sources from Xiaomi India also confirmed that the strategic partnership with Leica is still strong and ongoing.
