      Those edges look like they could be use as weapon

        The front looks like nokia N9, rounded screen area in a boxy phone

          Cameras like from 2018...

                Looks interesting but triggers no emotions since we haven't even seen a decent review of the Leitz 1 either...

                  Above $500 in Japan, iphones is only foreign device welcome.
                  The only local brand with periscope tech is opponent from camera business.
                  No option.

                  Leica does not want bloated lag UI like xiaomi and samsung.

                    Ahh IGZO screen technology

                    Something most people in the west will never have the opportunity to enjoy


                    LTPO from Samsung doesn't even come close efficiency wise

                    In fact modern LTPO are playing catch up in high refresh rate and 1hz technology

                    Sad that sharp wasn't invested in as much in the industry

                      its Leica's Lumia 830 with their good camera

                          Anonymous, 10 Nov 2022Because he phone this one is based on does not have as well. I know this. Maybe they should have partner with someone else then.

                            1500 dollar without periscope and ultra wide camera!!!
                            Without 8gen2 or dimensity 9200!!!
                            Sharp and Leica rethink before release.

                              Gimmick phone for $1500. Leica really loves to sell their name.

                                    Mobilemaster, 10 Nov 2022Too bad Leica doesn't really learn from their mistakes... moreexactly. they want their phones to be premium, but they miss out the camera hardware. you get a fat main camera but no ultrawide or telephoto. the combination of all three cameras is obligatory for premium phones.

                                      Too bad Leica doesn't really learn from their mistakes. For a phone which costs like 1500 Dollars, how can they skip a periscope camera?
