Sharp Aquos sense8

The Sharp Aquos sense8 suits anyone looking for a compact, lightweight phone with a high-density display and a large main camera sensor. At 159 g, it weighs less than most phones launched around the same time, and its 422 ppi pixel density is higher than most. The 6.1-inch OLED display has a resolution of 1080 × 2340 px and a 90 Hz refresh rate, which is lower than on most phones of its time.

For photography, the 1/1.55″ main camera sensor is larger than that of most phones launched around the same time, and the camera overall stands better than most. It also has optical image stabilization and an 8 MP ultrawide camera. The main sensor’s f/1.9 aperture, however, is less favorable than on most phones of its time. There is no optical zoom.

The 5,000 mAh battery has typical capacity for its time, but 18 W fast charging is slower than on most phones launched around the same time; the battery overall stands worse than most. The phone also offers 8 GB of RAM, 256 GB of expandable storage, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor. Overall, the Aquos sense8 is typical among phones launched around the same time. It makes the most sense for someone who values a low weight, a sharp display, and a large main sensor, and is comfortable with a lower refresh rate and slower charging.
