Sharp continues struggling in the smartphone market. Seems it doesn’t want to follow another Japanese manufacturer, Sony. Today, on May 18, the Sharp AQUOS R2 was released in the mainland. It’s a full-screen smartphone with high-end features.
In terms of design, the Sharp AQUOS R2 adopts a double-glass body. On the front, it carries a screen with a fingerprint scanner. A vertically arranged dual-camera is placed on the back. The overall dimensions are 156 × 74 × 9mm and it weighs 181 grams. There are a few color options to choose from – black, white, marine blue, pink, and rose red.
The Sharp AQUOS R2 is packed with a 6-inch full-screen that comes with a 3040×1440 resolution, 19:9 aspect ratio, and IGZO IPS display. The main highlight of the screen is the refresh rate of 100Hz. The previous generation came with a 120Hz refresh rate, but Sharp said that by optimizing the internal structure, the response speed increased by 25%. Under the hood, it sports a Snapdragon 845 chip, which is coupled with a 4GB of RAM, 64GB UFS flash storage (expandable up to 400GB), and a 3130mAh battery.
A 16.3MP self-portrait lens is placed on the front. It comes with an aperture of f/2.4 and is capable of recording 4K videos. Another 16.3MP sensor is on the back, but it is paired with a 22.6MP sensor with an aperture of f/1.9. The company claims this is the world’s first smartphone that can take photos when recording videos. Of course, the biggest improvement is that the static cameras can be used to record depth of field and improve jitter.
The rest of features include a USB Type-C interface, Android 8.0 out of the box, IP68 waterproof rate, and 3.5mm audio jack supporting Dolby Vision and Dolby Panorama sound
In addition, Sharp also released the AQUOS Sense Plus mid-range machine equipped with the Snapdragon 630 chip, a 5.5-inch 1080P IGZO screen, and 3+32GB.
The price tags for both models still remain unknown, but they will go on sale in summer.
