Hands On With The Real Leica Phone | Leitz Phone 2

#leitzphone2 #leica #leicaphone
Recently spent some time with Leica's smartphone, the Leitz Phone 2. Only available in Japan through Softbank, The Leitz Phone 2 is pure Leica, from the UI, to the cameras etc. The collaborations with Huawei and Xiaomi are one thing, but this phone is an entirely different machine. How does it perform compared to other smartphones in the market? Check out my review to find out more.

Hey Bobby, great review! I have been wondering about these Leitz phones as I am really wanting a much bigger sensor than standard phones. I realize it may not have the same level of AI in its photography that Samsung and Apple are employing, but from a pure photographic experience it seems like a cool phone. Hope all is well in Singapore, haven't been there in 6 years, but it was always a great place to visit. Cheers!

And now there is a Leica Leitz phone 3 on the market

Here's a tip, you need Japan SIM card in order to receive latest update, the phone technically unlock, BUT, it's region lock update.

There is a work around to update the software, I had a copy of this ,phone,you need a Japness sim card in,and then you can connect it to wifi to update the phone, and then you can put your normal sim card,I am update fine,but when you update, you need the lapaness sim card

Is it actually 240hz? I have a leitz phone 1, it doesnt feel like 240hz. Its the same as other phones having 1200hz display

I'm in the UK so if I import this phone from.Japan will I have problems updating it or getting apps to workt?

[@theotherpaulsmith]

Would you recommend getting a Xiaomi ultra 13 or 14 instead? Or something else?

[@dylandigby1776]

Is this also a rebadged Sharp phone?

[@walank19]

this phone seems to be the same as the Sharp Aquos R7s

[@zergwof]

It's not true to say that this is a Leica phone and not a collaboration. It is essentially identical to the Sharp Aquos R7 phone.

They need to make an app for IOS.

[@mauricerijnders3507]

This is a ridiculous device. It runs on an operating system that doesn't even support their own Leica photo app... So you can't sync your M11 with provided cable on this thing. Come on Leica focus on what you are truly good at 📸👍🏼

[@mawinmulawin7580]

Xiaomi 13 ultra looks still better for me.

[@gc2161]

not really much of a product if you cannot get it is it really. what the hell. only available in japan?

[@bomer6795]

I bought it second-hand, how can I choose a suitable phone case? This phone case is too hard to buy, especially in China. It seems that the Sharp R8pro phone case can be used on it?😂😂😂

[@simonkaggwanjala]

It's not their own phone. It's actually made by Sharp.
