If you are on cell data, it's fine as the location will be only approximate and your share your IP with other cell data users around the area.
Just for your tip.

Interesting though mine is not branded with the "Leica" logo on the camera, mine is labeled "Aquos" which leads me to believe I have the "Global" version and not the Japanese version so I can get updates over wifi and no need for a VPN
Out of the box my R9 Pro had no Japanese bloat installed.

I just got my Sharp Aquos R9 Pro from ETOREN I am in the USA. I paid just over $1000.00 for the phone. The box was opened yet everything looked new to me. The whole process took about 2 weeks to receive the phone.
I am using Mint Mobile a T-Mobile MVNO and I am getting over 200mb download speeds very good and wifi calling works. There was an update which I applied which brings me to 1.00.03 build. I signed up with NordVPN to see if there were any updates using a Japan based vpn and there was no other updates. Am I to assume I don't need to be on a VPN to receive updates? I wonder if there is going to be an android 15 update available.

I'm liking it too, but would be interested to see if Sharp can improve the video recording a little, it's not as smooth as I'd like.

This smartphone entered my country this month, and was sold for $ 1,100 and with a gift of $ 300. basically this smartphone costs only $800. This price is more reasonable considering the specifications provided, and it is possible that the price will drop to $400-$500 at the end of this year.

Hi all! Loving this phone overall, takes amazing photos and handles multitasking easily but I am experiencing one potential issue that is starting to concern me. Every so often when I press the power button to unlock the device the screen for maybe half a second flashes green and then goes normal, at the moment it's possibly happening 6 or 7 times a day.
I've factory reset, virus scanned and still the same so I'm thinking it must be something to do with the OLED panel...I have done sharps built in fault checker on the screen which doesn't find any issues but I have my doubts.
I contacted the company I bought the phone from who asked me for video proof of the fault before they will take it in for repair....which unless I sit a camera on my shoulder all day I'm going to struggle to prove the fault so looks like I'm stuck with it like it is until it fully fails.
My only hope is sharp push a software update and it turns out it was that instead however I'm still on October 2024 so not holding out much hope for one of them any time soon 🤣

I couldn't find... moreFinally found a video with real pictures on it from a YouTuber called Mert Kazam, got some reasonable shots from what I can see although I don't think I would trade my Vivo X200 Pro for it.... especially not with that snapdragon 8s Gen 3 that Sharp decided to put in it.....crazy considering the price.

awyar, 31 Jan 2025Fake 240hz it's just 120hz 🤣While it's not a native 240Hz panel, it uses frame interpolation or black frame insertion to smooth things out even more than a regular 120Hz display. But claiming that it has 240Hz is indeed, unethical

I was a bit worried as I watched a review from a guy in the UK on YouTube (Mert Kazam the channel name was) and he mentioned at the end of the review unless you are in Japan or Singapore the phone wouldn't get auto updates....I also noticed on the Sharp Singapore Instagram that they were advertising 01.00.06 update whereas mine is on 01.00.03....unless they are working backwards in numbers 😂

I'm on the international one and think it's on October 2024 as well - think that may be the most recent update Sharp have released as my phone shows that, and the build version is updated to the current one on their website.
If you have the Japan one and definitely don't receive updates, you can get a Japan esim from Mobal. I bought one from them to update a Leitz Phone 2 (rebranded Sharp phone), and that worked.

Has anyone internationally managed to update this device yet? I saw online that to update it you need to download a VPN and change the region to Japan, disable Google framework etc but non of that has worked for me....still stuck on October 2024 security patch haha

There are lots of posts on the latter 2, articles are a bit harder to find on Google as most will be in Japanese. I did find reviews with photos though on rentio.jp and dime.jp which you could try searching for.
