Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Leica X-U and Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Leica X-U has external dimensions of 140 x 79 x 88 mm (5.51 x 3.11 x 3.46″) and weighs 635 g (1.40 lb / 22.40 oz) (including batteries). Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G has external dimensions of 129 x 71 x 19 mm (5.08 x 2.8 x 0.75″) and weighs 305 g (0.67 lb / 10.76 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Leica X-U and the Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G. Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 11mm narrower, 8mm shorter and 69mm thinner than Leica X-U.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Leica X-U and Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G is significantly lighter (330g ) than the Leica X-U which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the X-U, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the Galaxy Camera 4G.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G's 4.80" LCD screen is slightly larger than Leica X-U's 3 screen.
On the other hand, Leica X-U sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to X-U.
