Leica vs Hasselblad: Which has a Better Mobile Camera?

[heliumflight]

Hello Friends,

We audiophiles have some expensive hobbies like cars, cameras, etc. There is no way out. Anyways, what I have realized that if you prioritize sensor size and natural colour reproduction, Leica’s Xiaomi partnership might be the better choice. If you prefer creative filters and Hasselblad’s signature look, OnePlus devices could be more appealing. It ultimately depends on your photography style!

I find Leica to have sharp, crisp images keeping the tone of the skin magnificent. Whereas in Hasselblad, you get the same picture rendition with a nostalgic appeal.

I have a fling for Opp Next N4 flip which has a Hasselblad camera. Can anyone share their experience?

Thanks in anticipation.

All these are just commercial partnerships. The cameras have absolutely nothing to do with either brand beyond the logos.

So you mean to say that Hasselblad / Leica optics are not used?

I prefer to go by these ranking when it comes to comparisons instead of relying on various platform reviews.

OP doesn't use any Hassleblad optics. It's more of the trademark arrangement and possibly extending to colour science/digital filter etc. But those are also very vague.

When Huawei had partnered with Leica in the early days, Leica did had a much higher say on the hardware of the camera and it's implementation.

In neither the above case, any optics that is to say sensor level involvement was there.

Neither Leica/Hassleblad make sensor for smartphones.

Sony/Omni vision and to some extent samsung are responsible for mass producing camera sensor for almost all smartphones.

Smartphone camera there days are more about computation photography and software. They have reached the physical saturation point in terms of hardware.
