Leitz Phone 1 review - Do its photos really capture the ‘Leica look!?’

[@sidersproductions941]

I love how this has that classic Nokia design language. Looks like a modern Lumia 1020. 😍 Really appreciate the captions and your detailed analysis of the camera system with gorgeous sample photos and comparison against a high level Leica camera. This was worth every second sir.

[@LaurensiusAdiKun]

Only if HMD make the Nokia comeback with their classic design and improved, instead of just following the Chinese phone market. Take my money!

[@Since91Too]

You read my mind. I'm trying to figure out the best way to buy in the states

[@cardingue]

a thousand thanks for your test! in France we are not lucky enough to have it. I live your test by proxy ☺️ you just won a french subscriber 🇫🇷🥖🐓🚴🏼‍♂️

[@erick-gd7wo]

I admire you when criticising the shortcomings of Leitz Phone with well spoken language.

[@maverick85]

Great video! Many thanks from England.

[@cow77cow]

Thank you for the review! Looking for something similar long time ago.

[@niklasdelinde9252]

Awesome review. You cover everything smoothly. Thanks and subscribed

I got the Sharp Aquos R6. It takes exactly the same pictures as the Leica Leitz phone 1. The only difference is that it lacks the Leica Leitz phone 1 monochrome mode and it has 128GB of storage instead of 256GB found on the Leica Leitz phone 1. The reason why I got the Sharp Aquos R6 is because it's cheaper and it's exactly the same phone as the Leica Leitz phone 1. The phone takes really good pictures but sadly the camera post process and algorithm software is nowhere as good as major brands in the market. The shutter speed is pretty slow too but performance wise, the phone is very fast and snappy...

[@cmlosaria]

Has photo quality improved?

[@Funkymojo75]

@@cmlosaria yes photo has improved quite a lot. The camera shutter speed is fast too after updates. The manual professional camera mode takes really amazing photos...

[@cmlosaria]

@@Funkymojo75 can you share a sample please? I'd like to check out. Eyeing this as my next phone but reviews on the camera holds me back

[@angusalvarez7462]

You're the best talking this phone and tell the true of ToF + shutter lag problem, thanks.

[@jeanreng6864]

Thank you for your interesting review. I am looking for a phone as a substitute to my old Leica M8 in low light. There are many recent camera better in high iso and low light but I do not plan to change. Anyway, this Leica Phone/Sharp Aquos R line look interesting, thanks to your review. Maybe the Xperia would be an interesting option too. Best photography wishes.

[@hennessylieu]

Would be best if Leica decide to make case with shutter button, they know who they aim for and it would be much more easy to have shutter button like Sony phone.

[@ReinoldFZ]

Best photographic review of a camera phone I have ever watched, thank you Toba 🤝 I adore the good taste with which you edited the photos, yummy blues : D I was wondering if they could do macro with a small lens in such a big sensor and you confirm my suspicion: it's difficult. Peruvian greetings.

[@superheroverse3941]

keep up the good work. producion quality of the video is awesome 👌

[@elmerjrcubero294]

It was mouthful review but it was great review, nice input both in objective and subjective. More video, 😀

[@tripsvietnam]

Thank you, detailed reviews!

[@MrStevenAttila]

Hi! I want to ask a question. Is the phone using pixel binning technology? Or it is using the full sensor to take pictures?

[@Anonnonon]

Amazing comparison, so detailed, greatly appreciate the time you took for this comparison, I just wish this phone is available worldwide.

[@FadeDance]

Design is Nokia Lumia inspired (who were also known for their camera division).

[@zinelabidineturki3670]

Can you tell us how it does when it comes to macro photography? Is it true that it cannot focus when you get closer than 50cm?

[@s.z.x.01]

Wow your review is just too quality off the start! Hotoni Arigato for this review!

[@maverick85]

Hi I am back again! Will you do more videos in the near future? I would love to see more.

[@hubertgran8855]

Great test ... little too fast jumping between shots. it would be great if you attach in video 1,5s. side by side shots. Viewer can pause and take a close look as long as necessary. But... overall great test. This phone is actually great evidence that we need curved sensors in smartphone (borders are dramatically out of focus)

[@turalrustamov486]

Hi, and greetings from Azerbaijan for the video. I just wonder that does the device have 8k 24fps RAW video recording? Thank you in advance.

Wifi dual band supported.??

[@vasyllys6351]

Лучший обзор Leica на весь KZbin. Спасибо Вам огромное.

[@kttan72]

I wonder why it is exclusive only to Japan. Also, I checked with the suggested shop. Phone has a clause of limited 2 year upgrade and thereafter, the shop confirms that there will be no more upgrade - might render the phone to be use - less. Also, I asked about the charger, the reply was "no have". :O A good potential if those are addressed...but thanks for sharing.

[@18yearsoldnot]

It’s a nice product but I kind of agree with them for not bothering with the West. Just look at how the lumix cm-1 failed to sell and then they had to discontinue it.

[@ajdajdl]

리뷰 잘 봤습니다. 생각보다 매력적인 제품이네요.

[@JustMeow22]

what is the colorway of your M10, it look so nice tho

[@MikeKleinsteuber]

Thanks for a good comparison. It could be better however if you weren't quite so rushed in zooming in and out of the comparison images. We need more time to take them in. So, for street photography it's probably a nonstarter cos of the poor focusing speed but for more considered stuff it seems really good. In typical Leica fashion however the price is silly high.

[@RandomGuy2421]

Excellent Review....but what about Video Quality?

[@renatoquibuyen96]

I like to see what it compares to the huawei mate 40 pro tho

[@ThePaulKM]

シャッターボタンがありますか？気づきませんでした。

[@corradotopi9678]

Keep into account that it is a 19/1.9 lens on a large sensor, so it natural that only the centre of the frame is in focus at short distances and the rest is blurry!!!!

[@ItsMePhiliph]

Has anybody tried the Gcam on thi phone?

[@maverick85]

I hope you make more videos soon...

Hope to see how the new Huawei P50 stacks up to your Leica and whether or not it's got similar or better performance than the Leitz Phone 1. Really like your video and I hope you make more videos.

[@zaidvoyage4277]

At this price i can buy nice camera + lens = 1700 $

[@aneeskhan1004]

No one will buy it for photography because of its pricing

[@Hoo_huu]

How much is this phone?

[@ReinoldFZ]

These cellphones are made for their fan base, which in some cases are collectors and not necessarily photographers. I don't say it in a pejorative way, as I got my Sharp Sh-06D cellphone, the evangelion edition he he.

[@AlexA-ts8sq]

Unfortunately, the current Japanese technology is very unreliable, this applies to IGZO screens, constantly buggy cameras that cause a lot of trouble and at the same time, Japanese technic is many times more expensive

[@jonathankielchua41]

It's too expensive! I will choose iPhone 13 pro max than this!
