Taiwan gets a taste of the 1" camera action with the Sharp Aquos R8s Pro, vanilla R8s tags along

14 September 2023
In case you're wondering how these are related to the Japan-exclusive Aquos R8 duo, the R8s phones are basically the same except for selling in a new market.

You would have to use a VPN network to do that. At kyoex you can buy some older phone from Sharp, and from Ebay you can find the latest ones too, at a very high price of course.

      The main problem with the R8 Pro is that it has only a single camera, and a very high price. A 1300 Dollar phone without a telephoto camera makes people to stay away from it I think. If the R9 Pro will have a 4x optical zoom, or who knows a continuous optical zoom, that would be a great hit!

                      I don't understand why GSM Arena writes news items on Sharp phones, but no longer bother updating the database with the new models.

                        rosesarerosie, 14 Sep 20231 camera for a 1000$ Thank you, I will pre-order immediately 👽Having one big good camera is better than having multiple mediocre cameras.

                          IGZO OLED panel is stunning. I have my Sharp Aquos Zero2 with that display. Colours were accurate and very crisp resolution, but the 240hz is kinda gimmick than real 240hz. Worth mentioning they're extremely expensive when new.

                            Japanese phones like Sharp and Sony can keep 3.5mm Jack and micro SD card with the latest tech. It is possible to keep it. But other big companies can't. When I see such phones I wish I had those 2 very important features on my S23Ultra with a flat display! .... Let's see if we can get hands on Japanese phones!

                                  It's still an extremely weird choice not to have at least an ultrawide camera on the Pro version.

                                  However, I would still like them to come back to european markets and the US market.
