Leica currently lends its logo to the Xiaomi 12S series, but before this, the company revealed a phone of its own. This week, it unveiled a follow-up in the form of the Leica Leitz Phone 2 (h/t GSMArena).
Like its predecessor, the Leitz Phone 2 is based on the Sharp Aquos platform with a slightly redesigned body. It packs sharp corners and ridged edges. A predominantly white colorway makes the red Leica logo really stand out, too. Above that logo sits a dominating camera hump housing a 47.2MP 1-inch sensor fronted by an f/1.9 aperture 19mm lens. There’s also a 1.9MP portrait sensor accompanying it. The Leitz Phone 2’s camera housing includes a metal lens cap for both style and protection.
