The Sharp Aquos zero6 will launch in early October and will be available through carrier SoftBank. The Sharp Aquos zero6 is one of the lightest 5G smartphones in the world The phone is rated IP68 for dust and water resistance (immersion) as well as IPX5 (water jets).
The phone runs on a 4,010mAh battery that supports USB Power Delivery, but not fast charging – a full charge takes 2 hours and 10 minutes. Sharp equipped the phone with its latest ProPix3 image processing engine that promises a wide dynamic range. A 12.6MP sensor is used inside the main camera. The main camera on the back has a 48MP sensor (f/1.8 lens, 26mm) and it is joined by an 8MP telephoto module (53mm lens, 2x magnification) and an 8MP ultra wide camera (120º/15mm), plus a 3D ToF sensor and a Laser autofocus system. The Aquos zero6 is equipped with 8 GB of RAM (LPDDR4X) and 128 GB storage (UFS 2.2), plus a microSD slot and runs Android 11 out of the box. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 750G chipset, an 8 nm chip with a X52 5G modem that supports both sub-6 GHz and mmWave networks. There is also a fingerprint reader built into the display and a sheet of Gorilla Glass Victus that protects the display. It has 1080p+ resolution (19.5:9 aspect ratio) and supports 10-bit imagery.
The iPhone 12 mini weighs 135g, though that one has a 5.4” display and a 2,227mAh battery (the 13 mini is lighter too at 141g).īack to the display, it is a 6.4” IGZO OLED panel that runs at 240Hz. Specifically, the Sharp Aquos zero6 is the lightest 5G phone with a screen larger than 6” and a battery that is 4,000mAh or higher. Well, that’s what Sharp claims and it comes with a number of asterisks.
Instead, zero6’s claim to fame is that it is the lightest 5G smartphone in the world. Sharp unveiled the Aquos zero6 – a smartphone with a 240Hz screen and that’s not even it’s biggest achievement (the Zero 2 did 240Hz last year and there’s also the R6 with a 1” sensor).
