- Xiaomi may have teased a camera grip accessory for the upcoming Xiaomi 13 Ultra flagship.
- A camera grip would make it comfortable to use the phone in landscape orientation as a camera for longer periods of time.
- The Xiaomi 13 Ultra has one 50MP Sony IMX989 1-inch sensor with variable aperture and three 50MP Sony IMX858 in other configurations.
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is on track to become one of the best camera smartphones of this year, with early leaks and reveals pointing to a total of four 50MP rear cameras on the phone. Of them, one even has a 1-inch sensor with variable aperture, immediately setting it apart from current flagships. Xiaomi seems to be really leaning into the photography prowess of this phone, as the company has now teased what looks like an interesting accessory for the phone.
According to a teaser released on Weibo, Xiaomi could be pairing the 13 Ultra with a camera grip accessory. There’s a slight chance that Xiaomi is just taking creative liberty for the marketing image, but Xiaomi CEO and Founder Lei Jun’s post implies that the accessory does make the phone appear more like a camera. We can see a dedicated shutter button on the grip, which would make it easy to snap photos quickly.
