Editorial report

Sharp Aquos R8 Pro technical sheet

The Sharp Aquos R8 Pro suits buyers looking for an especially fast display and hardware that ranks among the best of its time. Its main camera trade-off is an f/1.9 aperture, worse than most phones of its time; it also has no optical image stabilization.

The 6.6″ OLED display pairs a 240 Hz refresh rate with 456 ppi density and 2000 nits peak brightness, all among the best of its time. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and 12 GB of RAM put its hardware among the best as well. It comes with 256 GB of storage, which is expandable.

Connectivity is among the best of its time, with Wi-Fi 7, 5G, NFC, and Nano-SIM plus eSIM. The 5000 mAh battery is better than most phones of its time across its overall battery specifications and supports 15 W wireless charging. For photography, its 1″ sensor is among the largest of its time, but its f/1.9 aperture is worse than most and optical image stabilization is absent.

Overall, the Sharp Aquos R8 Pro is better than most phones launched around the same time and earns a NeoScore of 7.3. It is worth considering for buyers who prioritize the display, hardware, and connectivity and can do without optical image stabilization on the camera.
