Leica camera, 240Hz screen, world’s first inch image sensor and IP68. Sharp Aquos R6 appeared in Chinese stores

In May of this year, Sharp and Leica announced a collaboration that led to the Sharp Aquos R6 smartphone. It became the world’s first smartphone with a 1-inch optical format image sensor.

Now this smartphone has already appeared in Chinese stores, while the price of the Sharp Aquos R6 is almost $ 1,500.

The main image sensor has a resolution of only 20.2 megapixels, it is equipped with a Summicron lens with an aperture of f / 1.9. At the same time, only a ToF sensor is additionally installed in the camera to determine the depth of the scene.

The Sharp Aquos R6 is built on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC and features a 6.6-inch IGZO curved OLED display with WUXGA + resolution (2730 x 1260 pixels). The adaptive frequency is declared up to 240 Hz. However, Sharp has been “multiplying” the refresh rate of its screens for a long time, so the real frequency in this case is 120 Hz. On the official website of Sharp, there has long been a clarification of how these same 240 Hz are implemented in the smartphone. The smartphone refreshes the image with a frequency of 120 Hz, but programmatically, when adding intermediate frames, the frequency increases to 240 Hz.

The smartphone supports dual-fingerprint recognition thanks to Qualcomm’s 3D Sonic Max scanner, and is equipped with a 5000 mAh battery.
