en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Leica Leitzphone powered by Xiaomi (hereinafter referred to as the Leitzphone), released alongside the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, maintains the same basic design but presents a distinctly different style in details and surface texture. It features a black back with a silver frame, and the knurled frame is engraved with "LEICA CAMERA GERMANY."

The ring design around the lens is one of the most notable differences from the Xiaomi 17 Ultra. In terms of packaging, the Leitzphone comes with a dedicated protective case, a lens cap, a red wrist strap, and a cleaning cloth with the Leica logo. The box itself is also quite refined.

The dedicated protective case can interact with the lens ring to rotate it, supports charging with a magnetic power bank, and is compatible with MagSafe accessories (such as mini tripods). It offers good design quality, protects the device, and is convenient and practical.

Checking the basic camera functions!

The camera module is essentially the same as the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, with the only difference being whether the logo orientation is vertical or horizontal.

Sample photos of a "gas cylinder" taken at various focal lengths are attached. The photo style is set to "LEICA Authentic," characterized by reduced peripheral light and slightly higher contrast.

The camera app UI is essentially the same as the Xiaomi 17 Ultra. However, on the Leitzphone, it would feel more appropriate to change the magnification display from "0.6x～8.6x" to 35mm equivalent focal lengths like "14mm・23mm・46mm・75mm…"

The 13 "Leica Looks" are excellent

Looking closely at the camera app, the button above the magnification display on the Leitzphone is labeled "LEICA/STD," unlike the "Beauty" and "Filter" icons on the Xiaomi 17 Ultra. This provides 13 Looks (image quality settings) supervised by Leica, ranging from subtle to rich, all embodying "Leica characteristics."

Taking photos with various Looks. First, the standard "Leica Standard (STD)," "Vivid (VIV)," and "Natural (NAT)" produce fairly ordinary images.

Next, using "Leica Chrome (CHR)," "Leica Classic (CLS)," "Leica Contemporary (CNT)," "Leica Eternal (ETN)," "Leica Brass (BRS)," and "Leica Teal (TEL)" delivers images with a Leica-style feel. In particular, ETN and CLS offer styles not found in other brands.

For black and white, there are four options: "Natural," "High Contrast," "IA (LEICA I MODEL A)," and "Leica Blue (BLU)."

The style of these Leica Looks is hard to replicate. The only way to use the same Looks is likely through the Leica LUX app provided by Leica for the iPhone.
