Sharp Aquos S3 arrives on January 16 with fingerprint scanner on the back

Two Sharp phones popped up on TENAA in the last days of December. A variant of the phone was also certified in Taiwan, confirming the name Aquos S3. The manufacturer now followed that up by sending invitations to a press, event on January 16.

Mini version of the Sharp Aquos S3 is also expected to be announced since the name was leaked on a Google Play support page where the model name matches previous leaks.

The Sharp Aquos S3 will have a 5.99” screen with 18:9 ratio and Full HD+ resolution. Like the current Aquos S2, the new phone will most likely have two versions - one with Snapdragon 630, 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage and a more powerful one with Snapdragon 660, 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage.
