An exceptional camera phone with Leica color profiles and a physical control ring. Pricey and not sold in the US, but a flagship that excels for photographers.

  • Stunning image quality with deep, natural shadows
  • Leica color styles, including Chrome and Monopan film modes
  • Physical ring to control camera settings
  • Powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 performance
  • Bright, vibrant 6.9-inch OLED display
  • Very high price
  • Battery life could be better
  • Not sold in the US
  • 200-megapixel mode looks watercolor-like with little extra detail
  • Night detail can look mushy
