SHARP Singapore has launched the AQUOS R9 and AQUOS wish4 smartphone duo for the local market which further expands on the basis of the original releases.
First, we have the flagship class AQUOS R9 that boasts the premium Pro IGZO OLED screen that focuses on delivering a superior refresh rate that beats even gaming smartphones at 240Hz, and it also comes with an internal vapor chamber cooling system which is a first for SHARP smartphones. The Pro Photo feature houses numerous convenient functions to aid content creators in taking the best photos and videos, streamlines multitasking, and just be a premium and high-class smartphone for daily usage.
On the other hand, the AQUOS wish4 falls under the budget category. Although it looks simple, it is complimented by the fact that the phone case is made from 60% recycled plastics which will help SHARP achieve better ESG commitments in their product.
Otherwise, it is quite on the “below average” side but hey, nothing wrong with that, especially regarding its price.
The spec sheet for both of them is as below.
