Sharp to Introduce AQUOS R9 pro Smartphone in Asia

Sharp Corporation will introduce the AQUOS R9 pro, its flagship smartphone model. Sales will begin in Japan in early December 2024, followed by sequential release as a global model in Taiwan, Indonesia, and Singapore.

The AQUOS R9 pro is equipped with Vario-Summicron 2 camera system, which is a lens array using multiple Summicron lenses consisting of triple cameras (standard, wide-angle, and telephoto) supervised by Leica Camera AG, headquartered in Wetzlar, Germany. It uses high-definition 50.3 MP image sensors for all three cameras. The standard camera is equipped with a 1/0.98-inch image sensor that is over one inch in size, allowing users to take clear and beautiful photos even in dark locations. The wide-angle camera can take 122° ultra-wide-angle and macro photos, and the telephoto camera supports 2.8x optical zoom. Digital zoom to 20x is realized, enabling users to capture distant subjects clearly.

The CPU features the latest Snapdragon® 8s Gen 3 Mobile Platform. Combined with a generous 12 GB of RAM and a heat dissipation system based on an internal vapour chamber, it continues to run smoothly even when multiple apps requiring high data volumes are launched at the same time. In addition, large speaker boxes are placed at the top and bottom of the unit. The upper speaker box is made fully of metal to increase acoustic pressure and deliver powerful sound. The Pro IGZO OLED display with up to 240-Hz variable refresh rate* provides increased resolution to Quad HD+, realizing high-definition, realistic immersive images.

In addition, this model is equipped with Sharp’s proprietary Phone Assistant generative AI function. In addition to summarising and displaying voicemails as text, it can also automatically extract keywords from conversations and save them as notes, supporting effective communication by phone.

*in apps with smooth high-speed display and game settings registered in the gaming menu turned on, the display is updated 120 times per second while a black screen is inserted between frames. When these settings are turned off, the display state changes four times as fast (the display state changes 60 times per second) to achieve 240 times per second. Depending on the specifications of the application, 4x speed (240-Hz) display may not be possible.
