Hey Bobby, great review! I have been wondering about these Leitz phones as I am really wanting a much bigger sensor than standard phones. I realize it may not have the same level of AI in its photography that Samsung and Apple are employing, but from a pure photographic experience it seems like a cool phone. Hope all is well in Singapore, haven't been there in 6 years, but it was always a great place to visit. Cheers!

Thanks T L. Yeah it’s a cool phone. Again I couldn’t go too in depth due to the one I have being pre-production and things will be improved but it’s a fun experience and different from the Leica Xiaomi phones

Here's a tip, you need Japan SIM card in order to receive latest update, the phone technically unlock, BUT, it's region lock update.

Thanks for the tip. Now with the Xiaomi 13 Pro coming and I’ve used it, I think outside of the design the Xiaomi has trumped this in terms of image quality

@@btonelli I use leitz phone 1, yes the phone was the 1st 1" sensor BUT, the software just so bad it drag the hardware down, only update partial improve the phone camera performance, but the phone monochrome mode just too good it's like pocket monochrom phone. I'm currently using Xiaomi 12 Ultra, I say the Xiaomi performance looks more promising than Leitz Phone, but the AI and color mode sometimes just a little over vibrant for me especially Leica Vibrant profile. I hope Ultra 13 solves the issue tele photo lens sharpness and improves more main camera.

Thanks.While it doesn't have the features of an iPhone pro It looks more special than an iPhone. So I'd be happy (I hope!) to put up with some frustration in setting it up and cope with not having a telephoto lens. Did you have any problems with the touch control on swiping?

It's not true to say that this is a Leica phone and not a collaboration. It is essentially identical to the Sharp Aquos R7 phone.

When you get the phone you see no other branding but Leica. Unlike Xiaomi or Huawei this is a phone with only Leica on it. So in essence it’s a Leica phone.

@@btonelli absolutely - there have been many Leica products made in collaboration with other manufacturers. Even going back to the analog years with Minolta. So this is s branded product, and not manufactured by Leica. If you buy the Sharp phone, you will get an identical phone minus the Leica logo at half price 🙂
