#Leitz Phone 1

SoftBank has unveiled a Leica-branded phone in Japan, the Leitz Phone 1. The Leitz Phone 1 is equipped with similar specs to the Sharp Aquos R6, such as a 6.6-inch WUXGA+ (2730 x 1260) Pro IGZO OLED display with a 240Hz refresh rate, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G processor, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and 5,000mAh battery. However, the two smartphones differ in the phone’s design, specifically on the camera bump and a Leica-branded lens cap. The smartphone will be available for pre-order starting tomorrow, June 18, in Japan. While every iPhone fans are waiting for the supposed August/September release of the iPhone 3G in the Philippines, I've rounded up some of the top choices for iPhone 3G alternatives and compared them side by side.

My choices were mostly based on large-screen, touchscreen smartphones -- one major area where the iPhone claims supremacy. Some specs, like that of the iPhone's processor and RAM/ROM are not totally confirmed and were based on pieces of hardware clues taken from disassembled parts.
