Hello R9 Pro users..
If the Leica logo is not on the phone, does it mean on the software level it does not have the Leica logo too?

It's just a licensing thing.
Sharp can't use the Leica branding outside of Japan.

I quite like the look of sense9 small and compact. my current phone is second hand and battery dying liao… want to buy a brand new phone next time hopefully can last for 4-5 years.
Sense 9 has the perfect build & size for guys who put their phones in their front or side pockets.
The design is cute too.
It may have better macro photo mode than a R9.
The SOC is a bit weak & old for 2025 but honestly isn't too bad for it's unofficial price point.

I kinda beg to differ because TW and ID both has Leica logo on both hardware and software.
Pretty interesting tho.

The R9 pro hardware on SG, JP, TW & ID model are the same. But the selling price in SG is the cheapest among the 4 countries, just that SG model is without the Leica branding logo on the phone, whereas TW, JP & ID model have the Leica logo on it.

Price tag at each country during launch...
In Taiwan, price tag is NT39,990 (approx. SGD1,670) during launch.
In Japan, sim-free R9 pro is 194,700yen (approx. SGD1,700) & Docomo version is 211,970yen (approx. SGD1,880) during launch.
In Indonesia, the launch promo price tag is IDR17,999,000 (approx. SGD1,400).
In Singapore, the launch promo price tag is SGD1,319.
If you want the Leica branding logo, then you need to pay for a higher selling price.

I was off with that. Sharp can't use the Leica licensing in most countries.
TW & ID are the exceptions.
