My iPhone is one of the best cameras I've ever owned, but it's also incredibly boring compared to a Leica M11 – and that feeling has been rammed home by the arrival of Leica's new Leitz Phone 3, its third and most interesting smartphone so far.
The Leitz Phone 3's allure has, I admit, been enhanced by its Leica red dot and the fact that it's also only available in Japan. This has naturally made me want it more, but even from a distance, I can see it's packed with little touches that make me wish smartphones weren't all functional, grey rectangles that take technically 'perfect' photos.
