Editorial report

Sharp Aquos R8s technical sheet

The Sharp Aquos R8s suits buyers looking for a light phone with a strong display and capable hardware. At 179 g, it is among the lightest phones of its time, and its 403 ppi pixel density is higher than that of most displays from the same period. The 6.4-inch LTPO OLED display supports 120 Hz and Dolby Vision; its refresh rate is typical for phones launched around then. Overall, the display and design stand better than those of most phones of its time.

A Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 works with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of UFS 4.0 storage, which can be expanded with a card. Its hardware also stands better than that of most phones launched around the same time. The main camera has 50 MP and a 1/1.55″ sensor, larger than those in most phones of its time, alongside a 13 MP ultrawide camera. The camera overall is better than most, although its f/1.9 aperture is less bright than that of most phones from the period.

The 4750 mAh battery and 15 W charging are its clearest drawback: both figures are weaker than those of most phones launched around the same time, and the battery is among the weakest aspects. Other features include IP68, MIL-STD-810G, USB 3.0, NFC and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The Aquos R8s earns a NeoScore of 6.6 and is typical overall for phones of its time. It makes more sense for buyers who prioritize the display, hardware and camera than for those who put battery capacity and charging first.
