Xiaomis Magnetic Lens for Flagship Phones Set to Launch This Year

Beijing, February 8: Xiaomi’s innovative magnetic camera lens module is reportedly nearing its launch. Recent rumors suggest that the company has initiated early production of this detachable lens system, which was first showcased as a concept at MWC 2025.

According to blogger Digital Chat Station, “the magnetic lens has started mass production and could be available as early as this year.” While the source did not specify a manufacturer, it is likely related to the modular optical system teased alongside the Xiaomi 15 series.

During the launch event for the Xiaomi 15 series, Lei Jun highlighted this setup, initially described as an internal pre-research project. It garnered significant interest from both the smartphone and camera sectors.

Specifications of Xiaomi’s Magnetic Camera

At its core, the system features a magnetically detachable lens built around a custom Micro Four Thirds (M4/3) sensor and an aspherical lens group. Xiaomi claims it can achieve a full 100-megapixel resolution, with an equivalent 35mm focal length and a bright f/1.4 aperture.

This f/1.4 aperture is expected to excel in low-light conditions, while the classic 35mm field of view provides a perspective similar to the human eye, making it ideal for portraits and street photography with natural background blur.

Importantly, the modular optical system utilizes near-instant laser data transmission at speeds up to 10Gbps, allowing for lossless RAW transfer between the lens and the smartphone. The system also integrates with Xiaomi’s AISP computational photography stack, powered by a robust on-device model. This integration unlocks features like UltraRAW capture and up to 16 stops of dynamic range.

There are no complicated wires or pairing processes involved; the lens simply snaps onto the phone and is compact enough for easy portability. If Xiaomi meets its promises, the real-world performance could surpass some traditional Micro Four Thirds setups, especially with AI-driven image processing enhancements.
