Get closer with the Leica 5× periscope camera

Use the 50MP main camera for everyday photos, then switch to the 115mm-equivalent telephoto to frame distant subjects more tightly. It’s useful for travel details, events or portraits when you have room to step back. Both cameras have optical image stabilisation to help reduce the effects of hand movement. Switch to the 120° ultra-wide camera when you want to fit a group, building or landscape into the frame.

Choose between Leica Authentic and Leica Vibrant photo styles. For video, the rear camera system supports up to 4K at 60fps, including HDR10+ and Log recording options. The 512GB configuration gives you room to keep footage on the phone before transferring it. Usable storage is lower because the operating system and preinstalled apps occupy some space.

120Hz AMOLED display and 67W wired charging

The 1.5K AMOLED screen gives text and photos sharp detail, while the refresh rate can reach 120Hz for smoother scrolling. Dolby Vision and HDR10+ are available with compatible content. The 6,500mAh battery supports up to 67W wired HyperCharge with compatible equipment. Charging speed varies with the adapter and conditions. A wall adapter is sold separately.
