Leica launches Leitz Phone 3 with 1-inch Type sensor, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC

11 April 2024
There are new software tricks on board.

I totally forgot these phones existed. Why are they not on the database? This company doesn't even have a tiny foothold on the market, and they are the only premium phones with 240Hz or expandable storage (other than Xperia, which might die any day).

    Please launch your phones worldwide. It will be a hit. Sharp should also consider selling all their phones worldwide which would be profitable for the company as well. Considering many people would like to buy these smart phones. Please consider tying up with online services like amazon and others. Hoping to see your phones in my country as well.

      Please make that cap with a magnet and a soft ring to prevent scratches, so that it can be safely and logically attached to the phone to prevent it from being misplaced. Love to see this in the US

              I love Sharp products and Leica, but I would not buy this phone. I think the price is not justified.

                  Thanks for the correction 🌱

                  Great device then 😁

                            NeonHD, 11 Apr 2024If they can perfect the image processing and make it on par... moreBut without optical zoom, and with only 6x digital zoom( the previous phones had only 6x) the phone is still a weak performer, because there is absolutely no camera centric phone with these specs as the Leica phones, so it is not worth the money. It was too hard for them to add a damn 4x periscope zoom for example?
                            I am curious of what Sharp is preparing for this year. In less then one month they will announce their new devices.

                                YUKI93, 12 Apr 2024It's basically a Leica-fied Sharp Aquos R8s Pro.I wondered which Aquos model this was based on.

                                  Vasra, 11 Apr 202412GB RAM / 512GB flash, 1TB microsdxc expansion slot, 3.5mm... moreThere's nothing interesting about this phone and you damn well know it, people just love rooting for the underdog even when the underdog is a complete mess.

                                    It's basically a Leica-fied Sharp Aquos R8s Pro.

                                      They've already destroyed their rep by slapping Leica branding on mediocre camera phones. So there's no reason people should buy it for that. And that should be the only reason people would ever buy this trash with an out of date SoC.

                                      Also y'all say "but did you know it also makes mechanical watches and that there are Leica branded smartphones? Not just co-branded ones, but solely Leica branded devices."

                                      But then a few sentences later: "and like the previous models it's made by Sharp"

                                      You make it sound like it's not just a rebranded Sharp phone. They might not sell this phone under the Sharp name but it's still a Sharp phone with the brand changed to Leica.

                                        I'm using a phone from 2019 with 12gb ram.....also to launch a phone with gen 2 when gen 3 is the latest and gen 4 is on the way seems a mistake. It will be interesting to see how much the Leica costs.
