Xiaomi’s Camera team has officially announced the expansion of its innovative 1X button feature, enabling lightning-fast zoom switching between 28mm and 35mm focal lengths.

A Nod to the Xiaomi 15 Ultra Launch

Back in February, during the grand unveiling of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra and Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, Xiaomi introduced its Revamped Minimalist Camera UI. Despite the redesign, all legacy features were preserved and reimagined for smoother usability. This latest 1X button enhancement stems from that same vision—simplifying pro-level control for all users.
