                  As someone who has used numerous Sharp phones, I must say their phones are highly underrated. Their phones are really good to use & don't have any major drawbacks other than mediocre designs. Looking forward to trying out the R6 & R7 sometime soon.

                  I do think they should've paired the 1" main camera along with a secondary ultrawide camera instead of that unnecessary portrait camera. But as long as the primary camera is impressive, most people will be satisfied with it.

                    The global cell phone market should provide Sharp with additional opportunities.

                      Still feel the R6 is a better phone overall compared to R7 ..

                        A 3,730 mAh battery on the midranger? That's just insulting. Why even bother?

                          Lol, even super cheap 8mp ultra wide camera would be better than nothing.

                                  This is how smartphone camera should be. Instead 4 or 5 lenses on the back that are pretty useless.
