SoftBank has declared a Leica-branded handset for the Japanese market. Leica has given its title to phone camera methods already, but this Leitz Phone 1 is the initial time the Leica brand & iconic red dot has taken preference on a smartphone.

The camera arrangement is definitely going to be predominant for a handset like this, and the hardware used is surely unusual. There is a unique 20-megapixel 1-inch sensor — the most significant in any handset— with a 19mm-equivalent f/1.9 ultrawide lens, indicating other focal lengths require to use of digital zoom.

If that reflects friendly, well, Sharp stated the exact thing a month ago. The Aquos R6 has an identical Leica-branded camera system — though the Leitz Phone 1 makes it seem to be a lot bigger — and distinctive features like its 120Hz Pro IGZO OLED display are also a match.

If we talk about another thing, the Aquos R6 does not appear with a lens cap & matching case.

SoftBank is moreover marketing the Aquos R6 beside the Leitz Phone 1 and isn’t trying to hide the comparisons among the two phones. Rather, it’s positioning the R6 as a model for someone who actually needs the Leica camera, & the Leitz Phone 1 for those who appreciate Leica’s hardware configuration. And secondly, what could be enhanced in keeping with Leica tradition than jerking surviving products with a red dot?

The price of this phone will be approx. $1,700.
