Editorial report
Sharp Aquos R9 8 GB / 256 GB / Japan technical sheet
The Sharp Aquos R9 suits people who prioritize a high-spec display and broad connectivity; its main trade-off is the main camera's f/1.9 aperture, which is worse than that of most phones launched around the same time. The 6.5″ LTPO OLED display pairs a 240 Hz refresh rate, among the best of its time, with 2000 nits peak brightness, higher than on most contemporaries. It also supports HDR and Dolby Vision and uses Gorilla Glass 5.
Connectivity is among the best of its time, with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and Nano-SIM + eSIM. Performance is better than on most phones launched around the same time: the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 records an AnTuTu score of 1,649,698. The 50.3 MP main camera has higher resolution than most contemporaries and uses a 1/1.55″ sensor; optical image stabilization is included. Its f/1.9 aperture is the specific compromise. The 5000 mAh battery has typical capacity, while 100 W fast charging is among the strongest figures of its time.
This configuration pairs 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage; the Aquos R9 is also sold with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB. With an overall NeoScore of 7.6, the Sharp Aquos R9 is particularly suited to people seeking a standout display and connectivity.
