Sharp has been producing quite a few nice Android phones for the Japanese market lately (with a 25% share, it’s the leading manufacturer over here), and today, the company introduced [JP] another great-looking handset, the AQUOS PHONE 102SH.
Local carrier SoftBank will start distributing the phone in Japan in December as part of its fall/winter line-up. And there can be now doubt that subscribers can get a real monster with this model.
Here are the main specs:
- Android 2.3
- 4.5-inch naked-eye 3D LCD screen with 720×1280 resolution and 329dpi pixel density
- 12MP CMOS camera with full HD video recording
- compatible with SoftBank’s “Ultra Speed” high-speed data communication service (max. 21Mbps)
- TI OMAP4430 dual-core CPU (1GHz)
- RAM: 1GB, ROM: 2.2GB
- waterproof body (IPX5/7, IP5X)
- IEEE802.11b/g/n Wifi
- Bluetooth 3.0
- DLNA support
- microSDHC card slot
- infrared connection
- e-wallet function
- digital TV tuner
- W-CDMA, GSM
- size: 128×65×9.7mm, weight: 135g
Will this phone ever make it outside Japan? Maybe: back in May, Sharp said they would introduce the AQUOS PHONE worldwide at some point in the future…
