What can we expect from this smartphone? It is a true flagship and not only in the photography section. We find in it a  Snapdragon 888 5G processor, 6.6-inch OLED screen with WUXGA + resolution, 12 GB of RAM, 256 GB of internal memory and the possibility of expanding it via microSD. In addition, it has a  5,000 mAh battery to be able to give it all this.

With an identical design to the  Sharp Aquos R6 , the Leica Leitz Phone 1 opts for a round, 1-inch camera module, which includes a cover to ensure user privacy (at least in this section). It has  20 MP  resolution and an ultra-wide angle lens with a focal aperture of  f / 1.9 and a ToF sensor. The result is a professional camera on the body of a mobile phone.

Availability and price

If the first Leica smartphone caught your attention, now comes the bad part. At the moment, it is only available  in Japan and the company has not mentioned anything about its arrival in Europe, so we cannot risk making any predictions in this regard. If you are in the Japanese country, you can get it through  SoftBank .
