Huawei has partnered with Leica to improve the performance of its smartphone cameras. The Chinese phone company is working with Leica (Germany), which is known for creating very expensive lenses and cameras. Their partnership was announced at the CP+ show in Japan.

Leica has only made a lens for one other phone before, the Panasonic CM1, which was targeted at mobile photographers. This partnership is going to span "research and development, design, co-engineering, user experience, marketing and retail distribution."
