Since the early days of smartphones there have been a number of accessories that attempt to allow the camera to be used with an SLR camera lens. All the products produced were not very successful because of the weakness of the small smartphone camera sensor. But at Xiaomi they have produced the concept device Xiaomi 12S Ultra which can use M-Mount Leica lens.
The modified device with the lens for the 1″ sensor has been replaced with a regular glass only. Then a special mount is attached to the back of the camera that allows Leica's M-Mount lens to be attached. Then the camera application can be used as usual only with the detachable lens of a real Leica digital camera.
At the moment this concept is just being tested to see how well Xiaomi and Leica technology can be combined. Huawei itself did not dare to do it during the cooperation with Leica for five years.
