Xiaomi 12S Ultra
Xiaomi has been trying for some time now to make its flagship series stand out from the competition, as well as its own more budget-friendly offerings, and the Xiaomi 12S Ultra seems to do exactly that. With a unique DSLR-inspired leather body, a circular lens-like camera array, and a variety of camera sensors and lenses that are meant to help you get the best of both worlds when it comes to smartphone photography. They have even partnered with Leica to include special Leica lenses and colour styles in the phone, which are meant to emulate the look and feel of an old-school DSLR.
