Sharp unveils Aquos R10 and Wish 5 smartphones with bright displays and rugged builds

Sharp has unveiled two new smartphones in its Aquos lineup: the premium Aquos R10 and the budget-friendly Aquos Wish 5. Both devices carry forward Sharp’s emphasis on sleek design, display innovation, and durability, with distinct differences in target audience and hardware.

Sharp Aquos R10 Specifications

The Aquos R10 features a 6.5-inch Full HD+ Pro IGZO OLED display that supports a variable refresh rate ranging from 1 to 240Hz. It delivers a peak brightness of 3000 nits and supports Sharp’s Virtual HDR for improving non-HDR video playback.

It comes with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 processor, paired with 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. To ensure consistent thermal performance, it equips a copper-based heat dissipation system directly beneath the vapor chamber and CPU.

It runs on Android 15 and includes AI enhancements such as real-time call keyword extraction and smart scheduling suggestions. The phone sports a dual 50.3MP rear camera system co-engineered with Leica, combining a 23mm wide lens and a 13mm ultra-wide lens. It also features a 50.3MP front-facing camera. Night mode, zoom shots, and low-light performance benefit from AI-driven noise reduction and spectral color accuracy.

The Aquos R10 packs a 5000mAh battery and supports 36W wired charging via a USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port. For audio, it features dual stereo speakers with a full-metal speaker box, Dolby Atmos support, and Hi-Res Audio via LDAC.

It features IPX5+IPX8+IP6X water and dust resistance and meets MIL-STD-810G standards for military-grade durability. For authentication, it offers both facial recognition and a fingerprint sensor. In terms of connectivity, it comes with eSIM, nano SIM, and NFC.

Sharp Aquos Wish 5 Specifications

The Aquos Wish 5, on the other hand, is aimed at users looking for a simple yet dependable smartphone experience. It features a 6.6-inch HD+ IPS LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate and enhanced brightness for improved visibility.

It comes with the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, backed by 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage. The device also supports virtual memory expansion for better multitasking.

It runs Android 15 out of the box and comes with an AI-powered call assistant that blocks suspicious calls and converts voicemail into text. On the rear, it sports a single 50.1MP camera powered by Sharp’s ProPix Lite engine, while the front houses an 8MP selfie camera. It supports AI enhancements for photographing documents and food with greater clarity.

The Aquos Wish 5 equips a 5000mAh battery and supports 27W fast charging via USB-C 2.0. It also features Sharp’s Intelligent Charge function, which stops charging at 90% to reduce battery wear.

For durability, it comes with IPX5+IPX8+IPX9 ratings and IP6X dust protection, as well as MIL-STD-810H certification. It supports both facial recognition and fingerprint unlock and includes a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Pricing & Availability
