Sharp Aquos phones

[Psychotik]

From comparisons online, it seems the R10 has brighter screen, and some difference in camera sensor tech compared to R9. Then looks like 2g heavier. Everything else seem to remain the same. Planned for release in Early July. The Wish 5 that was also announced is due for release in late June.

The 14-channel spectral sensor measures ambient light, enabling photography in diverse lighting environments with color accuracy that closely resembles reality.

This looks like same function as oppo X8U rear light sensor.

R10 also have Leica partnership like Xiaomi phones
It's probably just color grading

The newer Xiaomi 15 series Leica copied Vivo's Zeiss anti glare coating
But don't know if Sharp will have this coating or just the color science tuning like older Xiaomi

Don't say near $700, $500 max seeing how:
R9 is $430 during sale [post #637]

Really not much point for R10 till maybe 2026 when it's heavily slash till $400-500
Both 7+Gen3 , looking to be same 1/1.55" main 1/2.55" ultrawide
Both have sd card, ufs 4.0
ip68, wifi 7, esim (R9 even have bluetooth 5.4 vs R10 5.3)
R10 is lighter by 2g but R9 is 1cm more compact

Unless you really want the Leica collab or the newer spectral sensor thing

Mai lai mai lai.....

if i want leica, going 15ultra or 15pro will do liao... much better performance as well.

No need for 15 series, 14T series is better already.

 

[BradenHeat]

No need for 15 series, 14T series is better already.

rather go for newer CPU and battery instead.

least, accessories MUCH easier to get.

This is why JP coys who outsource to local sinkies all CMI..... you want the market but hiam and dont provide a decent case or some form of updated specs nor discount.


not trying to sai on jp coys,but sharp and sony these 2 are really the reason why they are failing hard on their mobile division, and why their people prefer iphone.

too complex, too expensive, no resale vaule, no value on hold [ hardware wise and android support ]
Slow support and almost lack luster accessories.

the folks in the sony thread, really, is what you can call coping hard .

 

[noobzpro]

Want to check my Aquos r9 reception on the same simcard and location reception is lousier than other phone is this normal?

No issues with reception.
There is some durability issue on their camera glass coating.
If you notice a speck or two, do not wipe with any solvents that uses alcohol or lemon based, the coating may just come off slowly.

 

[metalB]

Android 15 is finally released for the local Aquos R9 Pro !

 

[xdivider]

qn for the r9 pro folks, how do u exactly protect the camera area.....

 

[Curiosity@]

I am thinking of getting either the R9 or R9 Pro. As a existing Xperia user are the screen display of the same standard as to Sony?

You can compare to the demo units in Challenger.

Hi all, I am interested in getting either the sense 8 or 9 as a backup phone (main phone is iphone 13 mini), for banking apps and as a music player (using microsd card) can I ask users:

1. Is there a compelling price to value to get sense 9 over sense 8? (Sense 8 is $279 on Lazada)
2. Has any one tried the dp-alt function? Does it work well to plug through a usb-c monitor?

I returned the phone due to the green tint issue. Got cmf phone 2 pro and pretty happy with it.

 

[Psychotik]

Sense 8 will all have the green tint. I own a Sense 8 myself. You can supposedly enable an option in the troubleshooting menu to make it less obvious. Quite surprised that they allow returns.

 

[mdsummer]

I bought through Lazada and activated the a “Change of Mind” policy. So it doesn’t fall under the warranty and return procedures.

Btw the green tint seems like the result of OS update. That is the reason why I declined exchange.

For my case, am quite sure it's not OS update. Have observed it since out of box A14, till upgraded to A15. Still will have green tint. But only more obvious under specific dark lighting.

Doesn't the change of mind policy require the product to still be sealed/unused? You would have used it for a while before noticing the green tint. That was always my impression from Lazada/Shopee's policy.

Change of mind reason needs the items to be sealed/unused. He probably got through due to product defect reason.
