The Leica Camera app from the latest flagship Xiaomi 12S Ultra has been released for free, but it can break your smartphone’s camera
At the presentation of Xiaomi 12S smartphones, Xiaomi introduced a new camera application, Leica Camera, developed in collaboration with Leica. This application has received a set of various functions and filters.
Despite the fact that the Leica Camera app was created for the new Xiaomi 12S series smartphones, a group of enthusiastic developers have already managed to extract the APK file of the application from the firmware of new smartphones and made it available for free download.
The watermark on the finished photo is made in the style of Leica with the company logo, an indication of the model on which the shooting was carried out, and basic characteristics such as ISO, shutter speed and aperture.
You can download the APK file from this link, but be careful. The editors of iXBT.com tried to install the application on Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro. As a result, Leica Camera replaced the standard camera application and refused to open. The situation was saved only by the fact that, by coincidence, a few minutes later, the final MIUI 13 update based on Android 12 arrived on the smartphone, which returned the standard camera application. Otherwise, the smartphone would have to be reset to factory settings.
The description of the APK file explicitly states: “The application may not work on global ROM or Chinese ROM for some devices.”
As we already reported, the flagship smartphone Xiaomi 12S Ultra with a new camera has already gone on sale in China.
Nio, which is known in China for its electric vehicles, intends to develop a new market. They plan to develop and produce smartphones there.
On August 4, the manufacturer registered a division of Nio Mobile Technologies Co Ltd with a starting capital of $100 million. The division is headquartered in Shanghai and co-founders include Nio President Qin Lihong. According to media reports, the company is preparing the first smartphone in 2023, while it will be cheaper than the iPhone. Smartphones are expected to be released once a year.
In addition to smartphones, the new company will sell mobile devices, wearable electronics, hardware solutions for artificial intelligence and communication devices. There will also be software development.
By the way, earlier the Chinese car manufacturer Geely acquired Meizu to also enter the mobile electronics market.
Apple has released the fifth developer beta of iOS 16, which has received many new features and visual changes. One of them was the battery percentage icon, which users have not seen since the iPhone X.
The fact is that with the release of models equipped with FaceID, there was no room left on the screen for percentages, so you had to turn on the Control Center or use widgets. In the latest iOS 16 beta, percentages will be displayed inside the battery icon in the status bar.
At the same time, according to the source, this feature will appear on the iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone 12 and iPhone 13, but will not be available on the iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini. Perhaps the situation will change by the release.
iOS 16 itself should be released in September along with the iPhone 14, but it is not yet known exactly when this will happen. Note that the company may postpone the release of iPadOS 16 for a month. According to media reports, this is due to problems with the Stage Manager function.

Rumors also attribute the base model of the headset to an M2 processor coupled with 16 GB of RAM. There is no data on the most powerful model yet.
Earlier it was already reported that the first version of the headset will be released in 2023, the second – in 2024. Initially, the models will be “sharpened” for games. It was also claimed that the announcement and release of the novelty was postponed due to problems with overheating.
