Gone are those mobiles in which you had to scroll the account more on the screens to be able to comfortably read the content of a web page. The trend is different, although Apple is still determined that the 4 inches still has a market. And it is that the larger the screen of a mobile, the more attractive it seems to be for the consumer. And with Sharp's latest release, it's all said: your new Sharp AQUOS S2 has a screen that occupies more than 80% of the total surface.
This mobile will be all screen on its front. And it could still be larger if it weren't for the fact that the only frame available - at the bottom - is where the fingerprint reader is housed for fast and secure unlocking. For the rest, the Sharp AQUOS S2 is a smartphone large and that draws attention for its careful design. Will the technical characteristics also accompany you? Let's see it next:
Large screen and Full HD + resolution
The market trend is to bet on mobiles that equip a screen that occupies the vast entirety of the front surface. That is, give it the greatest possible role. And in the Sharp AQUOS S2 this is a reality with its diagonal 5,5-inch Full HD + resolution. To give you an idea: the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 + come with this resolution as standard, although you can increase it whenever you want. Now, what is achieved with this movement is to gain more battery autonomy. And to be honest, how much difference is the human eye going to notice?
Meanwhile, the weight that this team achieves is not very high: 140 grams in total with a maximum thickness of 7,9 millimeters. That is, it will be an easy and comfortable smartphone to carry.
Two processors and two RAM memories for this Sharp AQUOS S2
As in many models in the sector, the Sharp AQUOS S2 will be available in two configurations. In the first alternative we come across a processor signed by Qualcomm. And to be more specific we refer to the model Snapdragon 630 with eight process cores (2 x 2,2 GHZ and 2 x 1,8 GHz). To this chip, we will have to add a 4 GB RAM and a 64 GB storage space.
For its part, the top of the range of the Japanese model carries another Qualcomm processor: a Snapdragon 660 also 8-core. Although in this case the RAM memory rises to 6 GB and its storage space is 128 GB. In addition, you can increase this capacity by using MicroSD cards in the same slot as the nanoSIM cards.
Double camera and good front for 'selfies'
Getting fully into the photographic section, we have to ask you: what type of camera do you think this Sharp AQUOS S2 incorporates? The answer is easy: double, another standard that seems to be implanted in the mobile sector. In this case you will be offered two sensors of different resolution. One will be 12 megapixels and the other 8 megapixels. And all so you can play with the depth of the shots.
Meanwhile, as for selfies it means, the Sharp AQUOS S2 has an 8 megapixel front sensor with, apparently, a good result both in self-portraits and in video calls. Both cameras have a good brightness: f / 1.7 and f / 2.0, respectively.
Battery, operating system and availability
Lastly, the Sharp AQUOS S2 will have a battery with a capacity of 3.020 milliamps. And is that a large screen needs a source that can hold, at least, a full day of work. And the unit that is included in this model has all the points to give the chest do. Likewise, among the certifications that we find, one of the most interesting included is the possibility of charging the terminal in less time than usual. This is thanks to the inclusion of QuickCharge 3.0 technology. This one promises loading speeds 4 times higher than conventional methods.
In turn, this Sharp AQUOS S2 will be based on the latest version of Android on the market. This is Android 7.1.1 Nougat. Now, the worst thing about this release is that at the moment only will go on sale in China and will do so on August 14. At the moment there is no data on its launch in other markets. While their prices will be 372 dollars (316 euros) and 521 dollars (443 euros).
