- References to Leica have been discovered within the Chinese MIUI Gallery Editor app.
- This suggests that a Xiaomi/Leica partnership is in the works.
Leica joined forces with Huawei for the P20 series back in 2018, and it’s been a fixture on Huawei smartphones ever since then. However, it looks like Leica and another major OEM might have a partnership in the works.
Xiaomi tipster Kacper Skrzypek has uncovered (archived link) references to Leica within the Chinese MIUI Gallery Editor app. It seems like these references are related to vlog filters, with monochrome, natural, and vivid options specifically mentioned. Check out an image below, courtesy of Skrzypek.
