Gizcoupon reported on April 23 that Xiaomi’s latest flagship camera phone, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, has been officially released for sale. This phone is Xiaomi’s first model equipped with a one-inch variable aperture. The main camera aperture value is capable of switching between f/1.9-f/4.0. However, some users have found that the main camera aperture structure also shakes when shaking the Xiaomi 13 Ultra. In response to this, Wang Hua, the general manager of Xiaomi’s public relations department, stated that this shaking is a normal physical phenomenon, and users can use the phone with confidence.

In addition, Wang Hua also explained the variable aperture mechanism, stating, “The variable aperture is a mechanical structure. When the phone camera is not activated, the variable aperture mechanism is in a powered-off state. At this time, shaking the phone may trigger its mechanical structure to produce displacement, which is a normal physical phenomenon. When the camera is activated for shooting, the variable aperture mechanism will be powered on and reset, and the aperture will automatically return to its default working state.”
In addition, Wang Hua responded to the problem that other phones equipped with variable apertures not shaking. He stated Because we each adopt different technological means and design structures. The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is the best solution for the micro variable aperture. The solution is developed after in-depth cooperation with Leica. It is most suitable for the Leica Summilux clone lens.
