Japanese manufacturers have their own view of what a smartphone should be
Sharp introduced the new flagship smartphone Aquos R8 Pro based on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 single-chip system to the home market in Japan. The novelty turned out to be interesting – with an original approach to performance.
For example, Sharp traditionally does not pursue the number of sensors in the main camera. There are two of them. Main – 47-megapixel optical format 1 inch. This module works in conjunction with a sensor with a resolution of 1.9 megapixels. The front camera has a sensor with a resolution of 12.6 megapixels.
