The Xiaomi Developers Conference (2020 MIDC) was held in Beijing today. Several senior executives from Xiaomi attended to share the latest technological achievements. At the conference, Zeng Xuezhong, vice president of Xiaomi Group and president of the mobile phone department, announced that Xiaomi has successfully developed a new retractable lens technology independently.
According to Zeng Xuezhong, retractable lens technology has two major advantages. First, its large aperture design increases light intake by 300%, enabling superior night photography performance. Second, the introduction of new image stabilization technology makes the footage more stable and improves clarity by 20%, resulting in steadier shots. Currently, this technology has been miniaturized and can be applied to smartphones. He stated that this technology will be available to users in the near future. It is reported that the technology draws on professional camera techniques to achieve better optical performance within a limited size.
According to the demonstration video, Xiaomi’s retractable lens technology is no different from a regular phone lens. The lens automatically extends during operation and also supports macro photography. The Xiaomi Developer Conference is currently underway, and several Xiaomi executives and industry leaders will share their latest technological achievements.
