That phone is the Sharp Aquos Zero 2, from 2019.

              Where's the microSD card gangand my Popcorn bag?

                No OIS? And why not the Full 50MP Version of the Sensor? Sharp needs to get serious about their Pricing and Cameras. Their other specs seems quite promising.

I have seen the R6 in action with its weak 6x digital zoom, it was very very bad! Trust me, I know what I am talking about, I watch a lot of content on YouTube, I like to study the evolution of camera phones, and I follow Sharp since 2007.

Having a zoom camera is NOT a luxury thing, it is useful, I use it almost every time, and I am sure hundreds of millions are using that too.

                      I don't really complain about phones nowadays lacking an SD card and a 3.5mm audio jack, but when they are present, it's always nice and it seems like these phone have BOTH of those on board, so that's a good thing :D

They can concentrate more on developing and tuning for this one sensor and potentially ended up with a good result, like the R6/R7.

                          Someone clear me up with this Sharp phones. They sound weirdly specced, yet in a good way. 240hz, 1-inch cam sensor....

Sharp phones actually produce clean and natural images because of the large 1-inch sensor, not that oversharpened watercolor mess that iPhones produce.

                                LOL, the standard model has an ultraiwde camera but the pro model has depth sensor instead and also no telephoto. let me guess the price? 1500$

                                    God they look like mobiles from 2017 even before what strange designs

                                      Sd slot + flagship SoC!? Im want

                                        To be honest, I think Sharp is not listening! They keep making the same mistake over and over again. Before I got attacked by anyone I want to say that I respect Sharp, I watch the evolution of their phones since like 2007! My problem is that this phone costs more than an Iphone, yet it lacks a periscope camera or an ultra wide camera. This is simply ridiculous at this price point!
