We’ve seen Leica’s name attached on smartphones made by the likes of Xiaomi. But did you know that, every once in a while, they also make smartphones? Meet the Leica Leitz Phone 3.

As expected, the Leica Leitz Phone 3 has a major focus on cameras. It sports a large 47.2-megapixel 1-inch sensor, which has a wide 19mm equivalent lens and an f/1.9 aperture. A 12.6-megapixel 78-degree selfie camera is on the front. No dedicated ultra-wide, telephoto, or macro lens like most phones in the market today.

The device also ships with a Golden Hour widget, which sends an alarm an hour before sunrise or sunset so you can take stunning photos with golden, natural lighting.

It also comes with the new Leica Perspective Control that can correct the perspective of vertical lines on images you shoot. Oh, and it comes with a special Leitz-branded lens cap.

Since it appears Leica took years to make this phone (the Leitz Phone 2 came out in 2022), it is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor instead of the newer Gen 3.

Other than the processor, everything else feels new. For one, it runs on the latest Android 14 operating system. It also has a decent 5,000mAh battery, 12GB/512GB RAM and storage combo, and an IP68 dust and water resistance.
