As it stands, those are just some of the highlights of the smartphone. A lot of goodies are packed on this device, so, my simple advice is for you to sit back and see the unraveling of this masterpiece.
Sharp Aquos S3 Quick Review
With the well rounded curves of this large smartphone, you can’t help but awe at the smooth & refined nature of the device. As the top notch replaced the top bezel, the bottom bezel got reduced to a minimal level, and bears the SHARP logo. On the left hand side of the rear region, a dual rear camera is set up alongside a dual-LED flash. Also, the fingerprint scanner is located close to the cameras at the rear.
Sharp Aquos S3 enjoys an IGZO IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen sized at 6.0 inches. Having proficiency in making of TV sets, it’s unsurprising the quality imbibed into this smartphone’s display. In lieu of this, a resolution of 1080 X 2160 pixels and the 402PPI pixel density control the smartphone’s display crispness. Also, in this zone, the 18:9 aspect ratio defines the Full View display attributed to this device.
At the centre of operations, Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 SoC teams well with an octa-core 2.2GHz CPU to command proceedings. Output in the graphics region is engineered by the Adreno 508 GPU. Android Oreo OS runs as the software of the device.
Music, images, documents, movies, other forms of videos and files can be stored on the 64GB internal storage of the device. Using the hybrid SIM slot, a memory card of 256GB can be implemented to boost the storage capacity. As the processor works to dictate the operations, a 6GB RAM ensures the performance of the smartphone is very sleek.
As a 12MP primary snapper and 13MP secondary shooter got teamed up at the smartphone’s rear, photography duties are well executed. At the front, a 16MP camera takes charge of the snapping of selfies. With Fast Charging technology included, Sharp Aquos S3’s non-removable Li-Ion 3,200mAh battery charges rapidly.
