Editorial report

Sharp Aquos sense9 8 GB / 256 GB / International technical sheet

The Sharp Aquos sense9 suits buyers who want a compact, light phone with an unusually fast display and broad connectivity. At 166 g, it is lighter than most phones of its time, but its 5000 mAh battery holds less capacity than most phones from the same period.

Its 6.1″ IGZO OLED display runs at 240 Hz, a refresh rate among the highest of its time, and delivers 422 ppi, better than most phones of that period. Peak brightness reaches 2000 nits, while LTPO, Always-On Display and Gorilla Glass 3 add useful display features. Design and display are typical among phones launched around the same time.

The Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, 8 GB of DDR5 RAM and expandable 256 GB storage make a balanced setup. The rear camera system includes two 50 MP cameras, and the rear main camera has optical image stabilization. Its f/1.9 aperture is less bright than most phones’ apertures of its time, giving the camera a specific weakness. Connectivity is better than most, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, eSIM, NFC and USB 3.2 Gen 1. IP68 protects against water and dust, while the phone resists drops up to 1.2 m. With a NeoScore of 7.2, the Sharp Aquos sense9 is a strong fit for buyers who prioritize low weight, a fast display and modern connections.
