I mean windoze is pretty bad right, but people are forced to use it anyways.
I hate the trend.

justasmile, 23 Nov 2024I managed to try this phone at a demo store, and everything... moreHow bad is it? From the spec sheet it should be promising (decent chipset, 50mp, autofocus). Furthermore, looks like it will be priced around 600usd in indonesia, which is similar to Iqoo 13. If R9 cameras aren't significantly better than the Iqoo's, then it's definitely a skip.

You will have to ... moreOfcourse Sharp will have to either:
1. setup their own Service Centers at least in major Tier 1 cities, with mail-in option, ELSE
2. partner with one of the "multi-brand" Service Centers that newer Chinese brands have resorted to with training & stuff. Anyways they don't do actual "repairs" now do they? At least Samsung does not, other than board replace & software.
SOFTWARE:
Sharp is lacking in this department for now, but I think Sony & Motorola are doing OK with their near-stock Android with few extra features where necessary. What I think is Sharp should do a licensing deal with a bigger player for their apps & UI to be included here, for example Samsung which has very mature app catalog, but looking at Japanese history of non-reliance on external parties for Software, this seems like a dream only. I would love to have Sharp hardware with OneUI & Samsung apps.

I have no interest about selfie camera as I do not have taking pic of myself as I'm getting real sick of dumb narcissists here.

You will have to have some courage to actually purchase this kind of phone.
In case if you can get one, you still won't have a service center if something breaks.

1 perfect dimensions, weight & size
2 perfect industrial body design
3 excellent selection of cameras, processor and well rounded specs that only Japanese brands offer
My focus is on the excellent taste in hardware choices which has become rarity now but used to be the focus just a decade ago! Nokia & Samsung have lost hardware design totally while Sony still holds on to some of it but not selling in India. I wish that changes and Japanese brands like Sharp & Sony see this but market appeal seriously.

My annoyance with Sharp is its barebone software. Stock Android fans might love it but man it's so barebone that you cannot even auto sort the app drawer. Heck, it doesnt even have a stock voice recorder app.
