Japanese electronics giant Sharp has announced a new high-end model dubbed as the AQUOS R8s Pro in the Taiwanese market. Some of the key highlights of the phone include a class-leading chipset as well as a versatile dual-camera system lead by a 47.2MP main camera featuring a large 1” sensor size.
Starting with the front side of the phone, the Sharp AQUOS R8 Pro features a 6.6” IGZO OLED display with QHD screen resolution, fast 240Hz refresh rate, as well as an impressive peak brightness that goes up to 2,000 nits. To help with selfies and video calls, the phone also has a 12.6 megapixels front-facing camera that sits within a centered punch-hole cutout.
Speaking of photography, the AQUOS R8 Pro relies on a dual rear camera system lead by a 47.2 megapixels main camera with a large 1” sensor size which significantly improve the camera’s performance in low-light environment. This will be aided by a 1.9 megapixels 14ch spectrum sensor that measures and corrects the intensity and color of the light when shooting in order to create a natural image that is closer to what you see.
Under the hood, the phone is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset along with 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB UFS 4.0 storage in the memory department. Unlike other high-end devices, the AQUOS R8 Pro does supports microSD card for storage expansion of up to 1TB.
Keeping it’s lights on is none other than a respectable 5,000mAh battery with fast wired charging and wireless charging support. Software-wise, the AQUOS R8 Pro will be shipped with the company’s in-house AQUOS UX 13 based on Android 13 OS out of the box.
For those who’re interested, the Sharp AQUOS R8s Pro is available in a single Black color option and is priced at NTD 32,490 ($1,018) in the Taiwanese market.
