That’s a lot more expensive than other traditional Android handsets and the iPhone 12 series. Leica has released its first phone for the Japanese market with the SoftBank exclusive Leitz Phone 1. That design won’t come cheap, however, as the Leitz Phone 1 will retail for about $1,700. Per The Verge, SoftBank positions the R6 as a phone for buyers looking for a Leica camera in a phone, while the Leitz handset is for those who value Leica’s design. SoftBank will sell both the Aquos R6 and the Leitz Phone 1, despite their similarities. Leitz Phone 1: Side view highlights the curved display.
The Leitz Phone 1 ships with Android preloaded, with a Leica user interface built on top of it that’s “largely monochrome.” The camera mode comes with a “Leitz Looks” mode that lets users shoot black and white photos. The selfie cam pierces through the display, just like most Android handsets, but there’s a noticeable bezel on the bottom. The screen design isn’t exactly in line with 2021 flagship standards. The new Leica phone also features IP68 water and dust resistance. The screen packs an under-display “3D ultrasonic” fingerprint reader that can read two fingerprints simultaneously. Other specs include a curved 6.6-inch IGZO OLED panel that supports a variable refresh rate of up to 120Hz, Snapdragon 888 processor, 12GB of LPDDR6 RAM, 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage, support for up to 1TB microSD cards, 5G connectivity, and a 5,000 mAh battery.

It’s just that Leica’s phone has an even larger camera module on the back, which comes with what appears to be an unnecessary magnetic lens cap just like traditional cameras. Both devices feature the same overall design and specs, and even the camera hardware is similar. Today's Top Deal Amazon just kicked off a massive new sale - see all the best deals right here!

After reports said a few weeks ago that the unreleased Huawei P50 will be the final collaboration between the Chinese smartphone maker and Leica, the latter unveiled its own smartphone on Thursday. Previously known for its mobile partnership with Huawei, camera maker Leica is apparently looking to go in a different direction.
