Camera maker Leica just launched its first smartphone with a huge sensor
Announced at a Tokyo press event (via Engadget Japan), the new Leica phone might seem familiar to many. It comes bearing a single, huge 20MP 1-inch camera sensor, the biggest one there can be on a phone. The camera module also gets a magnetic circular lens cap.There’s a 12.6MP selfie shooter on the 6.6-inch OLED display with a scalable 240Hz refresh rate. At the core of the phone is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chip with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. A 5,000mAh battery powers the Leitz Phone 1.The Leica Leitz Phone 1 is only available through Softbank in Japan as of now. There’s no word on global availability, just like the Aquos R6.As far as pricing is concerned, the Leica Leitz Phone 1 will retail for 187,920 yen or about $1,700.
