Sharp announces Aquos R Compact with 120Hz display

Prasad, 20 October 2017

Sharp has announced the Aquos R Compact, a smaller model in its Aquos R range of smartphones. Unlike the other models in the series, the Aquos R Compact has a different, more of an edge-to-edge display design similar to the company's previous smartphones.

The Aquos R Compact has a 4.9-inch, 2032x1080 resolution IGZO LCD. Apart from the fact that it goes right up to the edges on the top, has curved corners and notch in the center for the front camera, the display has 120Hz refresh rate that is twice as fast as almost every other smartphone display.

The phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. It also has a 16.4 megapixel camera on the back and an 8 megapixel camera on the front. The software is Android 8.0 Oreo with EMOPA 7.0. Running the whole thing is a 2500mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0.

The Aquos R Compact will be available in December exclusively on Softbank Japan.

Damn right it's a mandatory feature. Heck, I'll be screaming my ass if my phone doesn't come with one. Now that some random guy (you) replied to one of my oldest comments, looking back at what I said about 120Hz displays, I can't ...

Yes, 5 laters later and you are very much wrong lol. Now that 120hz is mainstream, it is very hard for anyone to go back.

Hahaha, I don't think you'll be saying what you said 5 years ago now that nearly all phones run at 120hz. And the majority opinion now is that 120hz is a mandatory feature.
