Sharp collaborated with Leica to create a 20-megapixel camera with a 1-inch sensor, one of the largest available on any smartphone. It worked with Leica on the entire camera system, including the sensor (likely built by Sony), 19mm f/1.9 wide-angle lens (35mm equivalent), and image quality features. The 7-element lens design even earned Leica's vaunted "Summicron" branding, which supposedly lets you shoot with less distortion. However, the Aquos R6 has just a single rear camera, so zooming (from wide to telephoto) is done digitally, not optically.

To avoid rapid battery drain from such a bright display, Sharp supposedly developed a system to reduce the refresh rate to 1Hz when a still image is displayed.

Another nifty feature for security conscious folks is the dual-fingerprint system. The Aquos R6 is apparently one of the first smartphones to use Qualcomm's 3D Sonic Max fingerprint authentication system, first announced in 2019. The significantly larger area makes for easier fingerprint identification, while also allowing users to log in with two fingerprints simultaneously for extra security.

they can challenge samsung????

20 MP only. Maybe same sensor as sony/canon/nikon 1" sensor camera. Will the sensor overheat when used in phone.

Android was supposedly designed for use on cameras.

Now it has come a big round, our phones become camera, and Android will indeed power cameras.
