Editorial report

Sharp Aquos R3 technical sheet

The Sharp Aquos R3 suits buyers who want a fast, detailed display and capable hardware, but its battery holds less than those in most phones of its time. Its 3,200 mAh capacity is the main trade-off for anyone who puts battery capacity first.

The 6.2″ IPS LCD display pairs a 120 Hz refresh rate, better than that of most phones of its time, with 554 ppi, among the highest densities of its time. HDR10 and Dolby Vision are supported. The Snapdragon 855 scores 365,000 in AnTuTu, above average for phones of its time. It also has 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, expandable by up to 512 GB with a memory card.

The camera is better than most overall. Its 1/2.55″ main sensor is smaller than those in most phones of its time, while the f/1.7 aperture is among the brightest. Optical image stabilization and an ultrawide camera are included. Connectivity is above average, with NFC, USB Type-C and dual Nano-SIM. Its protection ratings are IPX5, IP6X and IPX8.

With a NeoScore of 4.7, the Aquos R3 is most compelling for its high-density display and performance, rather than battery capacity. It suits buyers who value those strengths and can accept the battery trade-off.
