"The CEO of Leica, Mattias Harsch, took to the stage to announce a new Leitzphone, which appears to be an even deeper collaboration than 17 Ultra by Leica, which is a different phone. Design-wise, Leica has shifted back to a single tone body color, which looks more "Leica" to this camera dilettante's eyes."
"The regular Xiaomi 17 Ultra and Leica edition have a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and a 6.9-inch 120Hz display that can reach up to 3,500 nits of peak brightness. While cameras are the focus, it's a flagship device by pretty much any metric."
"After years of collaborating (and cute little badges), this may be the first pure "Leica phone" manufactured by Xiaomi, but sold directly by Leica."
Xiaomi announced the Leitzphone alongside its global Xiaomi 17 Ultra launch, representing a deeper partnership with Leica than previous collaborations. The Leitzphone features a single-tone body design, a 1-inch camera sensor, and a customizable ring for camera control. Leica designed the camera interface for intuitive operation. The device shares flagship specifications with the 17 Ultra, including a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and 6.9-inch 120Hz display reaching 3,500 nits peak brightness. This marks the first pure Leica phone manufactured by Xiaomi but sold directly by Leica, building on years of collaboration between the companies.
