I will make sure to make the title identifiable. It is really a tideous task to combine videos so I am looking for this Saturday or Sunday to post.

So I went for Sharp. I have owned two Sharp phones in the past. The Crystal, and the SH04H. This is my third one. I do love both of them, but I feel Sharp edges out Fujitsu in design. Hopefully I will own both in future too!

Anyway 2 Fujitsu phones could come later this year, one with the Snapdragon 855!(a long time we did see Fujitsu using the 800 series). I love both Sharp and Fujitsu, bad sadly I have never own one yet. Have you used Fujitsu before?

Like any mobile phone, small sensors don't help in capturing low light videos.It is ISO range upto 3200 but the video gets grainy at this point (in my dimly lit room). I am yet to test it outside in the night.

                    However, the still images come out as best as any phone can get in the low light with the help of flash at close range(Total dark room, flash on, it captures the object crystal clear).

                    In a good light, I feel this phone has one of the best camera. The wide angle video makes a lot of difference.

                    In a week, I will be able to tell a lot more, because so far I was really caught up in annual accounts closing of my company.

Anyway I did just read you own this product. Tell me honestly about low light photography, or low light video recording. How would your pictures or videos turn on in these conditions?

I stand corrected, but Amoleds etc are treated as better display due to deep black and thus the color reproduction, but Sharp displays produce really great colors with IPS LCD was the point I wanted to make. Thanks.

                            These are inaccurate data. I recently bought the phone and I can say it is n amazing device.

                            It DOES have the NFC. It has the FeLiCa chip.

                            The camera notch is the least annoying of all phones available with notches (this is not r2 compact).

                            It is the only phone that has both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos as of now. And it actually works. The brightness of this phone is amazing given that it is not an OLED. And the Dolby Atmos works superb too (only headphones)

                            The camera is a bit complicated for most to understand but let me explain:

                            The primary standard camera shoots both stills and video. In shooting both, you can use the optical image stabilizer or electronic one.

                            The wide angle camera shoots only video and has only electronic image stabilizer, but one cannot complain because anyway the wide angle camera is in addition to the standard. However, it would have been even more amazing if it did have the OIS too.

                            The selfie camera is 16MP camera.

                            In this image on the website it doesn't look too good. But trust me, when you have the phone in hand it looks absolutely stunning! I bought the black color and was worried that I should have gone with the white one, but now I am glad I have the shiny black gem. Because I thought black is an evergreen color and I would eventually get bored of the white one, but it's personal preference.

                            It is completely a Japanese model.

                            4GB RAM is great but yes nowadays 6/8 GB RAM phones are also available but I don't know how much I will suffer due to 2GB less RAM.

                            I am a Sharp fanboy, who has the Aquos Crystal, Aquos Zeta SH04H and now the R2. If anyone wants to know more you can ask me in the reply about this phone.

                                  where in japan i can buy this phone

                                      last years Aquos S2 looked better, thinner bezels around the screen. In the video reviews of the Aquos R2 you can see the outside bezel just looks too thick with an annoying black line around the screen.
                                      Put the finger scanner centered on the back and used that bottom bezel area for the buttons leaving extra real estate on the screen.
                                      But a solid design, no notch, camera's look very promising, cant wait to get one in my hand.

                                        RomanB, 17 May 2018No it is not. ODMed by Commtiva Technology Limited.Let me explain something. There is the Chinese division on Sharp, and there is the Japanese division of Sharp. The R series are part of the Japanese division on Sharp. The Aquos S is the Chinese division of Sharp. What you can buy in Japan, are still made in Japan, and anyway everything in under the control of the Japanese, since Japan are exporting Japanese technology to China and other Asian countries.
