What happens when you tag a mobile phone to a camera? This is essentially what the Leica Leitzphone is.
Powered by Xiaomi , the Leica Leitzphone is where a century of German heritage meets Xiaomi innovation.
Marking the 100-year anniversary of Leica, the company partnered with Xiaomi to bring its iconic heritage and design philosophy to a cutting-edge mobile device. The ongoing collaboration between the brands is more than just sharing name space.
This industry-first co-development places Leica’s classic image capture approach at the heart of the device, combining a century of expertise with modern technology.
The interface claims to be Leica tuned, offering interface offers performance and artistry-focused imaging that is intuitive and enjoyable for both casual photographers and seasoned professionals.
The Leica Leitzphone powered by Xiaomi features the Leica Camera Ring, a physical dial with a knurling finish that makes it feel just like a real zoom camera in the hand. The phone also introduces Leica Essential mode, recreating the image quality and photographic style of iconic Leica cameras, including Leica M9 and Leica M3 (with MONOPAN 50 film).
There is a lot to take in, and our resident movie maker Lee Herbet had the opportunity to take it for a spin.
