Monsters from Asia: the enticing, 4.7" Sharp Aquos Compact
Underneath the panel, we've got an interesting choice from Sharp: a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor. Side-stepping the more powerful, flagship chip — the Snapdragon 810 — the Japanese maker obviously felt that the 64-bit, hexa-core processor, with its Adreno 418 GPU, is sufficient to run the phone. Makes sense, especially considering the world of trouble the Snapdragon 810 seems to constantly find itself in. As for operating memory, you're looking at 3 gigs of RAM, with storage capped at 16GB. Thankfully, you can expand through a microSD card and get up to 200 gigs on top of that.
For your imaging needs, Sharp has outfitted the Aquos Compact with a 13.1-megapixel main camera with very wide, f/1.9 lens, and a 5-megapixel CMOS sensor for selfies. Powering the camera and the rest of the phone is a sizable, 2,810mAh cell with Android 5.1 Lollipop — with an extensive Sharp skin on top, of course — being the brains of the entire operation.
As mentioned, the Sharp Aquos Compact SH-02H will be launched on DoCoMo's network come December, with yellow/silver and blue/black being the only two color options to be made available. Pricing, at this point, remains unknown.
