Photography is not just a visual record – it is a moment that remains forever. And when we talk about historical moments, many of them were captured with Leica cameras – from iconic Pulitzer Prize-winning war photographs to portraits that forever changed the way we see the world.
Seconds after Neil Armstrong took his first step on the moon, an image was captured that has become a symbol of human perseverance. The iconic kiss in Times Square on VJ Day, Robert Cape’s combat portraits, and the revolutionary footage of the fall of the Berlin Wall – all captured with the lenses of legendary Leica optics.
Since 1914, Leica has set the standard in photography, developing the first compact 35mm camera to the lenses that captured the most important moments in modern history. Therefore, Leica is not just a brand – it is part of history.
Its lenses are witnesses to the emotions, turning points and unexpected moments that shaped the present. For decades, it has been the first choice for photographers, and today, this precision optic, in collaboration with Xiaomi, becomes available in the new era of mobile photography, offering the opportunity for anyone to capture a view worthy of worship.
The Xiaomi 15 series brings the Leica VARIO-SUMMILUX lens system and technology that is no longer reserved for professional photographers – it is now in your pocket. This series does not just offer excellent camera equipment, but represents a fusion of engineering excellence and the art of photography, a tool that allows you to record the world as you see it – without any mistakes, with all the emotions of the moment. Thanks to variable distances and high-level dynamic range, now every scene can have depth and appear completely realistic, with unparalleled detail.
Powerful sensors capture light even in the most challenging conditions, while advanced effects and high resolution enable every user to create images filled with detail, rich colors and perfect contrast. For those who are fans of expression through movement, the Xiaomi 15 series also brings 8K video recording, Dolby Vision® HDR, as well as Director Mode, which offers full creative control over exposure, colors and contrast – just like in professional film cameras.
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is ideal for portrait and street photography, with the Leica 70mm telephoto lens operating at a golden focal length, offering natural-looking images, while the large camera sensor allows users to capture small details from a distance of just 10cm.
The industry-leading Leica 100MP 200mm ultra-telephoto lens makes it easy to capture distant subjects with a focal length of 100mm, extendable to 200mm via on-sensor zoom technology. The quad camera system is rounded out by the Leica 14mm ultra-wide camera, which offers expansive perspectives for capturing extraordinary landscapes and group shots.
The Xiaomi 15 has a triple camera system that offers exceptional image quality in any lighting conditions, even in dark conditions.
Designed for speed and precision, the Fastshot tool enables ultra-fast street photography with a shooting speed of just 0.6 seconds, ensuring every moment is captured. The artist, the adventurer, the photojournalist – everyone once depended on the power of a real lens.
Today, every moment you capture can become part of a larger story, because photography is not just a matter of technology. /Telegraph/
