                Its the same situation. And currently, Leica camera is a trend in Japan, especially regarding street photography.

                  Better buy aquos r6 with same specs except a little changed design

                      YUKI93, 17 Jun 2021If people can widely complain about the price of current So... moreTo be honest, Leica camera is a trend in Japan currently.

                      Looks like Leica took the opportunity thru Softbank's exclusive to attract the Japanese.

                        why spending $1700 for a phone?

                        While you will open same apps, same youtube, same twitter, etc.

                        Main camera from $750 phone also already good enough

                          Too expensive. Only Huawei deserves to be with Leica. Other companies will just make use of leica's name like Oneplus did with hasselblad. And they end up making hype and delvering underwhelming results. Oneplus 9 pro for example, is an great camera system, but not quite to hasselblad standard and they didn't even revolutionize smartphone cameras. Only Huawei and Google have big impacts on smartphone cameras in both hardware and software.

                            This looks like a perfect camera phone to me. Considering it has '1' naming scheme, looks like its plan to be continued in the future. The only downside is the 19mm FL equivalent.

                            Please, please release it internationally. What a perfect camera beast point & shoot looks 😍

                              Its been named as Leica (Leitz-Camera) later on, up until today.

                                So.. this just softbank exclusive ...

                                With that kind of pricing.. Most Japanese will still choose iphone over this.

                                  Ajay11, 17 Jun 2021240 Hz..? World's first may be.?Nope. Sharp itself has one more 240hz phone - Sharp aquos zero2 - which was launched back in 2020.

                                    Muzik, 17 Jun 2021One inch camera sensor. OMG, price is $1700. Why only to Ja... moreIf people can widely complain about the price of current Sony Xperia smartphones, I see no chance for that Sharp smartphone to have a different treatment. Let's not forget that there used to be a smartphone with a 1" sensor all the way back in 2014 with the Panasonic Lumix CM1, but hardly anybody bought one because of the rather steep price. When that Panasonic phone was sold in the US, it cost $1,000*. Even in Europe, it cost €899**.

                                      One inch camera sensor. OMG, price is $1700. Why only to Japan! It should be launched globally. I really like the design of this phone. Specs are top notch. Camear would be the main highlight. Great!

                                        Should make this phone a lot more competent in the camera segment!
