Sharp to go global with its 16MP 3D AQUOS phone

24 May, 2011
A few days ago, we showed you an Android running Sharp AQUOS phone with monster specs, and expressed our disappointment that the device is bound to stay Japan exclusive. Well, not anymore...

    'Global smartphone' usually means CDMA and GSM compatible which is what Verizon uses to describe some of their phones.

      I don't wanna dissapoint anybody, but I think that by saying "Global Smartphone" they mean "It will work anywhere in the world (with roaming)". It's been quite common since SoftBank uses common 2G and 3G bands. The iPhone4 is also sold as a "Global Smartphone" in Japan.

            sharp simply plan to introduce this phone to china where it already have a presence though not that big. i think if china is a success then they will introduce it to the other countries.

                    They called it global smartphone because it will be manufactured in China like all global smartphones? hmm

                        I am guessing by "global" they mean anywhere outside Japan :)

                          I really hope that they will enter in the global markets! They are awesome! They are on a whole new level!
