Another blow to Huawei.Leica ends many years of cooperation and chooses Xiaomi?

All good things come to an end.The five -year, fruitful cooperation of Chinese Huawei and Leica is coming to an end.The last smartphone signed with the Leica logo will be Huawei P50.Xiaomi has already set up in the queue to cooperate with the German brand!

The future of Huawei cameras

In 2021, for many smartphone users, the most important feature of their dream equipment is undoubtedly a good camera.Manufacturers, in order to meet the requirements of customers, decide on various solutions to provide us with the best quality of photographs.

One of such activities is cooperation with brands from the photographic industry - Huawei was a pioneer of such a solution.

In 2016, the Chinese producer for the first time boasted a smartphone with a camera that was created as a result of the combination of forces with the German brand Leica.Unfortunately, today this five -year cooperation is coming to an end.

The 5-year regular cooperation of Huawei from Leica resulted in the delivery of many solid models of smartphones (including Huawei P30 Pro or Mate 40 Pro), which could boast of high-level photographic capabilities.However, this fruitful cooperation was prevented by the US government, which in 2019 banned the Chinese producer.

Two years after this event, the situation of Huawei is still not stable, and their smartphones include a growing decrease in popularity.For this reason, Leica resigns from further cooperation with the brand, and their last joint project is the upcoming Huawei P50.

What's more, apparently the partnership between the two companies in the latest flagship, however, only applies to branding, not the camera software itself.

Leica, however, is not planned to resign from co -creating smartphones - soon Sharp Aquos R6 will hit the market with a camera module created with a German brand.

However, we do not know yet whether this is long -term cooperation or just a one -time project.Sharp is not the only interested in cooperation - the powerful Xiaomi and Gionee also set up in the queue.Soon, the Leica camera may get to the favorite smartphones of Poles.

Update: Leica's official statement regarding information on the end of cooperation with Huawei

Since the cooperation continues, of course, it is maintained in accordance with all the principles of confidentiality.The partners have committed to secretly all the details of the contract.Please understand that we will not comment on it.
