Xiaomi 16 Series Could Drop Leica Branding to Prioritise Proprietary Camera Technology

Xiaomi’s long-standing partnership with Leica Camera could soon be coming to an end, according to claims by a tipster on social media. Since 2022, the China-based OEM and the German camera and lens manufacturer have collaborated to develop mobile imaging solutions for Xiaomi smartphones, seen in models like the Xiaomi 15 series. However, this is said to be phased out soon in order to cut down on licensing fee costs and prioritise its proprietary camera technology.
