      Please make it available globally. It is good for both Leica and Leitz/Sharp for marketing.

          Bump = thickness of the sensor.

          Leica only designed it to cover the whole ToF & flash circular module just because...they a camera company. And the phone does looks like a point & shoot camera. Plus they include the magnetic lens cap.

                    NeverOpnReplies, 17 Jun 2021why spending $1700 for a phone? While you will open same... moreExactly 700$ phones already have very good cameras, anything more than that is just an overkill, you will pay double the price for a small improvement that is super unecessary
                    And for geeks or some crazy people who wants to have the best of the best in cameras, they can install google camera on a 700$ phone and they will get same result as a 1200$ phone, unlike for soc or displays, if you pay 700$ you will only get the soc or the display of a 700$
                    Poco f3 is an exception, because it has the display, the soc, the dolby atmos stereo speakers and the vibration motor of a 700$ despite been 350 but this is just an exception
                    Any phone can take good photos for instagram or any other plateform and you will be happy with it, let alone if it cost 700$

                                Limiting market only for Japan and then have some sick price. Is there even anyone who wants this for some reason ? Like what is this on the phone that is worth this 1700 ?

                                I bet in Japan they have better options for phones with better cameras and other hardware while will be 3-4 times cheaper.

                                  Shui8, 17 Jun 2021More like a Huawei Mate 30 - https://m.gsmarena.com/huawei_... moreNope. It's a lot more like a lumia 1020.

                                        Those large glass bump area because the module consist of main camera, ToF, & flash. Even if the glass only cover the main lens while separating the other two, the bump will be the same because thickness of the 1" sensor.
