Hi,
Could someone who has this phone check what level of Camera 2 API it supports ? (legacy, limited, full, level 3)
And also if it supports RAW format photos ? (RAW capture)
The above can be checked on the phone with the app "Camera2 API Probe" (free on PlayStore).
Thanks.

Hi guys. I'm interested if people could tell me about the camera data rate and performance? The 845 chipset supports 4k 50fps. I'm interested in putting together a little camera rig, and there is no modern compact phone with this sort of power.
What's is the maximum data rate you can use at 4k 25/30/50/60fps? (File size divided by seconds of length). Advanced camera software like open camera can sometimes unlock more advanced modes lime this (but you have to check the actual data rate, resolution and frames per second in viewing software file information feature, as open camera will still tell you you are doing it when it can't).
Does it support 25/50 fps 4k/uhd?
How is it in very low light?
Anybody know which sensor or dynamic range it has?
Thanks for anybody who can help.

For me it's the perfect phone. I'm coming fron an XZ1 Compact, which has too little on board storage and no OIS. The Sharp's design makes it feel even smaller and thinner. I have yet to test the camera. The app is a little clunky and slow, but image quality seems solid.
I'm OK with the battery, it does get me through a typical day and I have plenty of opportunities to top it up during the day if needed.

These are comparable in a universe of COMPACT size (13.5x7), and obviously not in a universe of top-notch specs and $$$ pricetag.-

If this had a larger battery I would probably try to import one to Canada.

Damn this phone is like a dream... But then you wake up and realize it's only being sold in Japan. Damn shame.

Gb, 24 Mar 2019Ive recently been to Tokyo and got myself one for around 60... moreLooking for this phone at Japanese internet trade services. Some offers there have a note "domestic version" and they don't guarantee that the phone will be working overseas. I've also figured out that there were two slightly different marking of the sim-free r2 compact. But I haven't understood this connection ultimately. So I'm wondering could you tell the exact marking of your one, whether it's just SH-M09 or SH-M09X5B or W up to the color (specified at the side bottom part of the box cover). Thanks

Ive recently been to Tokyo and got myself one for around 600USD.
The phone works well in Israel and I have full 4G/3G reception, all I had to do is add my provider's APN as they dont offer it natively for this device (and I doubt anyone else outside Japan does).
Regardless, the phone size is perfect. the screen is amazing, it feels snappier than an iPhone and is by far the most agile Android I had a chance of holding, aside from the perfect screen and size, the performance of the snapdragon are crisp and the camera is not too bad either,
Only downside is the fact it does not offer wireless charging which is a let down.

Speaking of "modern" compact phones (EU version), it's only 3 models available:
* Sharp EUR 550
* Sony XZ2 compact EUR 450
* Samsung A3 2017 EUR 220
I'm not sure what from Sharp's spec justifies +100 EUR comparing to Sony.
Also, if all you need is compact size and can tolerate performance/camera, then Samsung still beats both of them IMHO:)
