Leica Just Launched Its First Smartphone With A 1 Inch Sensor

Renowned camera manufacturer Leica has launched its first-ever smartphone in the market today. Dubbed the Leitz Phone 1, the device comes with the world’s largest camera sensor on a smartphone and the flagship-grade Snapdragon 888 chipset. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the key specs and features of this device.

The German camera-maker launched the Leitz Phone 1 at a press event in Tokyo recently. The device comes with a 6.6-inch Pro IGZO OLED panel with support for a 240Hz refresh rate. The panel has a resolution of 2730 x 1260p.

The rear camera supports RAW and JPEG format and also has a “Leitz Look” mode that allows users to take Leica signature monochrome images. Furthermore, Leica includes a magnetic lens cap for the rear module to protect the large image sensor.

Now, coming to the price, the Leitz Phone 1 will retail for 187,920 yen (~Rs 1,25,000). The device is currently only available through Softbank in Japan. There is currently no word on whether the company will launch the Leitz Phone 1 in the global market.
