On April 11, Leica launched the Leitz Phone 3 smartphone. This device has significantly improved its imaging capabilities, features, and shooting modes over its predecessor.
Imaging is a core feature of the Leitz Phone 3. Inheriting Leica's tradition of excellent photography, the new phone is equipped with a top-of-the-line camera module with a 1-inch CMOS image sensor with up to 47.2MP effective pixels.
Its "eight-phase detection autofocus" function ensures precise focusing. With a 19mm-equivalent focal length and an aperture of F/1.9, it features a 6x digital zoom to capture more detail.
The phone adds a classic magnetic lens cap that adds a sense of ritual to photography. The front camera is not weak either, with 12.6MP pixels, a wide viewing angle of 78°, and an F/2.3 aperture, which is enough for users to take daily selfies and video calls.
The Leitz Phone 3 not only offers a breakthrough in hardware performance, but also introduces the "Leica Perspective Control" feature for the first time. This is the first smartphone to be equipped with this feature, which effectively solves the problem of perspective distortion and makes the picture more realistic and natural. At the same time, the phone also provides a variety of color filters for users to choose from, making it easy to shoot unique colors with Leica style.
In terms of configuration, the Leitz Phone 3 also performs well. Powered by Qualcomm's second-generation Snapdragon 8 platform, it comes with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, so it's stress-free to run large apps and store high-definition photos and videos. In addition, the mobile phone also supports TF card expansion, which can support up to 1TB capacity, which fully meets the various needs of users for storage.
As for the screen, the Leitz Phone 3 uses a 6.6-inch Pro IGZO OLED screen with a resolution of 2730 x 1260, which brings users a clear and detailed visual enjoyment. The built-in 5000mAh large-capacity battery ensures the endurance of long-term use. At the same time, the mobile phone also has IPX5/X8 waterproof and IP6X dustproof function to ensure stable work in various environments.
According to the latest news, the Leitz Phone 3 will be available on April 19, and the price has not yet been specified.
