8 May 2024, 08:48:56
Sharp Aquos wish4 is the latest affordable smartphone by Sharp for its home market - Japan. However, for this year, the brand has decided to gradually roll out this model in Taiwan and Singapore. It will be released in early July. The wish4 delivers a larger display, improved and more robust design, and improved battery life.
The 6.6-inch HD+ display is made of tempered glass that has passed a test simulating a drop on a concrete road surface. It is strong enough and will not break even if you accidentally drop it while out and about. The large screen is convenient for studying and viewing. The main body complies with the U.S. Department of Defense's procurement standard "MIL-STD-810H." It is waterproof and dustproof, resistant to high and low temperatures and shocks, so you can use it without hesitation in your daily life. Additionally, even if it gets dirty, you can wash it with hand soap or wipe it off with an alcohol disinfectant sheet.
Power is supplied by a 5000 mAh battery and processing power depends on the MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage. The Sharp Aquos wish4 runs on Android 14 and supports Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.3, and NFC. The camera department includes a 50MP main shooter with an f/1.8 aperture and an 8MP selfie snapper with an f/2.0 aperture.
The new-generation of Sharp smartphones has been completely redesigned under the supervision of "miyake design", founded by designer Kazunari Miyake. The design combines simplicity and presence with an impressive "free curve" that surrounds the camera, neither a circle nor a square. It has a curved and gentle form and is highly durable.
Approximately 60% recycled plastic material is used for the main body, and 100% recycled aluminum material is used for the side keys. The main body is painted with low-VOC paint that contains less volatile organic compounds (volatile organic compounds) that cause air pollution.
