SYKtech, 17 Dec 2024above 120+ hz is useless, 120 hz is fine.
Is it?
I heard back in days when people used to say over 60 is useless, but now people are being used of 120.

They will still need to push some of their product line back to globe or else they'll likely run out of the fuel after getting taken over one after another.

They sell TVs too so even though they don't have the scale of SONY with something like PlayStation to fall back on and TV networks cameras, imaging equipment and more, they are pretty diverse for their scale.

More competition is better for us in general.
To be honest, I'm fed up with these main stream phones such as of "A" & "S" brands, and other cheaper phones trying to load bunches of bloats and try to lock people up within their eco system.
I just hope that Sharp has their long term plan good enough to survive for a long period of time.

a... moreI understand your perspective and I think you want these Japanese comoanies to succeed because they do truly make great products.
But
I think we as consumers have a greater responsibility to recognise these products. Because let's be honest, there is a reason why there aren't many people here in this comment section for this specific phone. They are not looking for niche products like these. They are too distracted with marketing terma other brands like to throw around. This is one the reason why innovative brands like Lumia, LG and SONY (they're all over the plave with their phones but they try) got actually killed by the market. All the modern computational photography and quad bayer buzz words killed the essence of pure photography. And this may not be a popular opinion but I actually like the stubborn brands like Sharp exist because even if they don't make market appealing products, people like you and me have a platform to fall back on when mainstream brands do things like Apple's new camera button or fake Nokia (HMDs) weird Penta Camera array with sensors tinier than my little fingers nails. They won't sell in volumes but they will become legendary like the Lumia 1020 did.

as for marketing view, it's their ignorance for not carrying about big market, which is pretty much main reason for many big Japanese companies falling lately; yet, they are still making excuse as "focusing on local market" while true reason is that they just could not compete due to not being able to adopt and compete wisely.
If they are truly good about what they want to appeal (cameras & display for this case?), they've gotta be "real good" about it until everybody knows about it.

Anonymous, 06 Dec 2024That's true but you have to take into account the comp... moreSharp does not care about what other brandsaredoinf, especially if it is all about computational photography.
They make robust systems with deep manual control over the cameras available to the user. If you search for videos about R9 Pro, there's a 8 or 11 minutes long first look kind of video with a short segment in the camera app, this thing is a bridge between phone and some more serious point and shoot cameras with features that manual photographers like.
This was never meant to appeal to a general user, that's why they rarely go with the strongest SoC.
Oppo has decent cameras but that thing can't compete with this one in RAW manual performance or features. This thing caters to a more serious photographer instead of your regular "is it social media ready" kind of person.

The primary sensor is 1"+ while not compromising a clean design. There are no gimmicks to this phone. That's what's better.

So what exactly is better about this phone when compared with others?
Do they use their own components such as display and cameras?

Supposedly it's encrypted they say, but don't ya know that the server also has the key?
You remember getting gmail and constantly getting ads on it? It means somebody is scanning your files.
Just keep that in mind while you are free to choose whatever you like.

But in the end, it is what it is dude. It's all to suck more money out of us and you can't do anything about it. That's the ugly truth. Make use of this time and buy a Sony Xperia smartphone while they still have these features on their smartphones, cause it might not take long for them to drop the card slot and headphone jack too.
