As the centerpiece of the event, Xiaomi 14 Ultra became the focal point with its outstanding performance and innovative technology. Featuring the new top-tier Leica Summilux optical lens system, the phone introduced the AI-driven large model computing photography platform Xiaomi AISP for the first time.

Lei Jun mentioned that apart from understanding the concept of “layers” and mastering the depth professionally, the director repeatedly emphasized not to stick to conventions but to lean towards the younger generation and the future.

“To make movies, to create images, one must understand human emotions and grasp them. This is an eternal standard. This aligns perfectly with our philosophy. We look forward to Xiaomi Imaging and Director Zhang Yimou together opening up a new dimension of mobile imaging.”

In a video played at the event, Zhang Yimou discussed that Chinese aesthetics also have a certain orientation. The era of pursuing vibrant colors is over. He mentioned that he also watches many short videos in his daily life to feel the psychology of the masses. “The effect of image presentation should be slightly more beautiful than the colors in real life, subtly enhancing without exaggeration; that’s the sense of layers.”

Lu Weibing, the General Manager of Xiaomi, introduced at the event that Xiaomi invited Director Zhang Yimou to serve as the chief imaging advisor, providing in-depth guidance for the development of Xiaomi 14 Ultra’s imaging system. Together, they discussed and introduced the “Master Portrait” to deliver a cinematic-level imaging experience to users.
