      I purchased one of these and use it on T-Mobile in the US. In urban and suburban areas I am able to get 4G LTE, but elsewhere connectivity is almost impossible, and regular phone call quality suffers.

      Other than connectivity, though, it's amazing. This is probably the most up-to-date "small" form factor phone you can get. The display is stunning and the camera takes great HDR photos.

        /v/anon, 21 Sep 2019shall we petition Sharp to release this internationally? We can try.. but as far as I read Samsung did not allow Sharp to sell internationally because they want to build Samsung brand name in Europe and America. Samsung has a controlling number of shares of Sharp.

          First of all, I don't own this phone. I own a Sony Xperia X Compact. Sony is my go to brand for when it comes to phones because they create the best compact phones. Then I stumbled across this Sharp and I am super impressed. These days all the phones are so big they can hardly fit in your pocket. I NEED THIS PHONE

                Wish this phone was in the USA. So hard to find a decent sized phone around here.

                    Hey guys, here are my first impressions:

                    Bought from ebay and I received the SH-M09 or as others have stated "SIM-free". It has a SIM slot though, so I'm not sure what SIM-free means.
                    Just like most of you guys coming from the Sony xz1c or xz2c, I wanted this phone for the size. I was amazed though at the screen-to-body ratio. Smaller than Google Pixel with same screen size but same physical size of xz1c. That being said, the battery does seem to charge slow and drain quickly.

                    My biggest gripe is the lack of turning off the camera shutter sound!!! Japan has some anti-pervert law that forces phones to have the sound on. There seems to be a few paid apps that can turn it off. The only other option, which I am considering, is to root the phone.

                    Or I'm also considering selling it instead and just buying a Samsung S10e. The biggest shock to me on the Sharp Aquos r2c was the screen-to-body ratio, and since I was satisfied with the Pixel size, I might as well make the jump towards the big screen of s10e. Bought this phone for $750. Amazon US has it listed for $980 (from Sharp). And the S10e $460 right now. Seems like I make a huge mistake.

                      Considering buying this phone from Japan into Europe.

                      I'm worried about the always on camera shutter sound required in Japanese phones. Can anyone that is using this phone in Europe (bought in japan) say if their camera sound is always on or if it can be silenced?
                      Thanks!

                        https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-restore-mobile-data-quick-settings-tile-toggle-on-samsung-galaxy-devices/

                        But the "MobileData" setting doesn't work.
                        Fortunately I found the correct name for this Sharp phone on Japanese forums : "cell"

                        So for me this was the command I used :
                        adb shell
                        settings get secure sysui_qs_tiles
                        settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles "airplane,cell,wifi,flashlight,battery,rotation,night,cast,glove"

                        Please note that the added mobile data quick setting will disapear if you edit the quick settings using the native phone menu.


                        I've tried to launch like hundred version of the Google Camera, I found only two versions that works on my phone (found on apkmirror) :
                        v5.1.018
                        v4.4.020

                        If you find a newer version with HDR+ on it please share !
                        (you can find a lot of ports here : https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-port-hub/)

                                I've been using this phone for a month, bought on ZenMarket to France.
                                I really love it, it's definitely the perfect phone for me.
                                Size is perfect, it's very powerful (coming from a A3 2017).
                                I managed to install Google Camera and to add the mobile data quick setting (not without struggle), now it feels perfect.
                                Battery life is correct.

                                  Phone is under-powered. Bought as a replacement for Sony XZ1 Compact, but it does't stand up to the XZ1 in terms of responsiveness or battery life.

                                    Sharp cannot release competitive lines outside of Japan where Samsung intends to be the market leader. Samsung bought a controlling share over Sharp.
