Xiaomi

China's consumer technology giant Xiaomi has unleashed the second iteration of its robot pooch. The CyberDog 2 looks much less business-like and more like a family companion, comes packed with sensors, and can still do back flips.

Late last year, Chinese consumer electronics brand Xiaomi cemented its relationship with Leica when the company launched the camera-focused 13 Series smartphones. Now the 13 Ultra joins the pack to take the flagship spot.

Xiaomi has pulled back the curtain on a pair of augmented-reality glasses it's working on called the Wireless AR Glass Discovery Edition, which are reported to be among the first in the industry to boast "Retina-level" image resolution.

Xiaomi joined forces with imaging titan Leica last year for the 12S Ultra flagship smartphone, and now the company has repeated the formula for the 13 Series, which is also one of the first to be powered by Qualcomm's latest mobile chipset.

Xiaomi snuggled up with Leica back in June for the launch of the 12S Ultra smartphone featuring a 1-inch-type image sensor and Summicron optics. Now the companies have partnered again on a concept version with a lens adapter for mounting Leica glass.

Earlier this year, Samsung treated us to the kind of image madness we could expect from its new 200-megapixel camera sensor. The honors for the first phone to feature such a monster went to Motorola, and now Xiaomi has joined the 200-MP party.

Chinese consumer tech giant Xiaomi has thrown down the folding smartphone gauntlet with the Mix Fold 2, which shapes up a good deal slimmer than the Galaxy Fold4 Samsung launched last week and also comes with a bigger battery.

Xiaomi has announced the mainland China launch of the 12S Series smartphones. Aiming to redefine what's possible with mobile photography, the range-topping Ultra model features a new 1-inch Sony sensor and imaging systems co-engineered with Leica.

Xiaomi is looking to take on the Microsoft Surface with its first 2-in-1 convertible. Designed for productivity on the go, the Book S is powered by Snapdragon, runs Windows 11 and can be had with an optional keyboard for the full laptop experience.

Though many smartphones may well meet the needs of casual gamers, more serious players will likely want to carry a dedicated gaming smartphone. The latest flagship offering from Xiaomi's gaming arm Black Shark has now been released globally.

Xiaomi has given smartphone photography a boost with the launch of the 12 Pro flagship, which includes a main 50-MP camera module that's built around Sony's large IMX707 sensor for the promise of improved low-light snaps.

Hot on the heels of Facebook's Ray-Ban Stories comes a pair of concept smart glasses from Chinese tech firm Xiaomi that don't just push notifications from a smartphone, but also sport some nifty independent functionality.
