      Sony is dead in market share and weak in photo. Not even top 10, maybe not even top 10.
      iPhone, Haweui, Honor, Samsung, Pixel, Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi, OnePlus. Sony can be compare to Asus, Motorola, Nothing Phone and Realme.

        Looks interesting but as we know the price will not be.

          Mills, 11 Apr 2024That's why I'm learning Dutch so I can move from ... moreMy advice, move to somewhere like Spain.
          Cities like Valencia, Donostia, Gijón.

          Netherlands = very expensive place.

            I wish to see an influencer that understands about photography putting this phone side by side with the latest iPhones, Oppo and Samsung... just to see how it performs.

                Perhaps this is a rebrand of A3

                  I thought they gave up on this phones. I think it is not worth the money honestly. To pay like 1600 Dollars for a single camera phone...

                    8 Gen 2? Pass. It's not bad, but also not good enough for what this will probably cost

                      12GB RAM / 512GB flash, 1TB microsdxc expansion slot, 3.5mm headphone jack , excellent Sharp IGZO screen (2000 nits max), Leica tuned camera, 1" sensor.

                      Japan only, of course. Sigh.

                      So sad that the best phones and most interesting (offering features that no other phone offers) are always Asia only (China or Japan).

                      The west gets the me-too iPhone/Samsung copies with all the extra features missing.

                          Some projects are shared between Panasonic and Leica (also, both use same mount).
                          Sometimes they rebrand each other's cameras.

                              Ouifuf, 11 Apr 2024If this phone doesn't have the undisputed BEST camera ... moreIt won't have best camera for simple fact that phone photography is just as much as software as it's hardware. Sharp may have great hardware, but they lack software.

                                That's why Xiaomi somehow launched the 13T Pro without the Leica stuff in Japan

                                  1260p 240hz with 8 Gen 2 (12/512) with (assuming) powerful cameras with a 5000 mAh battery is asking for trouble. Tone that 240 to 165hz and it may work out with optimal battery life.

                                    I realize that Leica markets their own camera, but who actually makes it?

                                        Igzo display on my aquos sense8 is downright bad and has retention and burn in issue. My advice is stay away from sharp. If you really want this this phone, exercise extreme caution.
