Editorial report

Sharp Aquos sense5G technical sheet

The Sharp Aquos sense5G suits anyone looking for a compact phone: its 5.8-inch display has a 1080 × 2280 px resolution. At 435 ppi, its pixel density is among the highest in phones of its time, although its 79.9% screen-to-body ratio is lower than that of most contemporaries.

At 178 g, it weighs less than most phones launched around the same time. Connectivity is better than on most of them, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, USB Type-C, and Bluetooth 5.1. It also supports two Nano-SIM cards and expandable storage, alongside 128 GB of storage and 8 GB of RAM.

The rear main camera pairs 12 MP with an f/2 aperture; both specifications rank below those of most phones of its time. There is also a 12 MP rear ultrawide camera and an 8 MP rear telephoto camera. The 4,570 mAh battery and 27 W fast charging are typical figures for phones of its time. Its listed protection includes IPX5, IP6X, IPX8, and MIL-STD-810H.

The Aquos sense5G combines a compact size, a high pixel-density display, and broad connectivity, but its screen-to-body ratio and rear main camera specifications are drawbacks. It makes sense for anyone prioritizing a small, light phone with 5G rather than a standout camera.
