Emir BardakçıAn exciting news for Mi camera hobbyists, @Xiaomi Miao Lei, Xiaomi’s Camera Department’s Deputy General Manager, unveiled some important details on the company’s camera software updates today. First showcased at the Xiaomi 15 Ultra and SU7 Ultra launch conference in February, the new simple camera interface has been a buzz among fans. In response to feedback on their favorite Leica red UI, now Xiaomi confirms that all Leica co-branded phones will keep their classic red interface by default after an update, in addition to offering six new color options to unlock even more personalization potential for users with varying tastes.
Beta Testing on Several Devices Underway

As per reports, the 14 series and 15 series have already started receiving beta versions, with MIX Flip, MIX Fold 4, and K70 Ultra following soon.
