Sharp has introduced the Aquos R10, a new mid-range smartphone featuring a flat display, frame and back panel. The circular camera module barely sticks out from the 0.35-inch chassis, while the phone weighs 6.9 oz. Moreover, this mid-range device is IP68 certified for water resistance, and its MIL-STD-810G certification means that it’s protected against drop damage.

Interestingly, Sharp opted for the durable Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the back, but the display is only covered by the more price-conscious Gorilla Glass 5. The 6.5-inch display utilizes Sharp’s proprietary Pro IGZO OLED panel with a resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels, a full-screen brightness of 1,500 nits and a peak HDR brightness of 3,000 nits. The refresh rate automatically adjusts between 1Hz and 240Hz, making the display faster than most other flagship panels. The fingerprint sensor is integrated into the power button on the right side of the phone.

Sharp further offers a 50MP f/2.2 selfie camera, a 50MP f/1.9 main camera with a 1/1.55-inch sensor and a 50MP f/2.2 ultrawide camera. Notably, these cameras were developed in collaboration with Leica, as the main camera sports a Leica Hektor lens and a spectral sensor to capture accurate colors. Additionally, videos can be recorded in Dolby Vision HDR.

Furthermore, the mid-range Sharp smartphone is powered by the fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, which is paired with 12GB RAM and 256GB or 512GB of UFS 4.0 internal storage. The latter can be expanded via a microSD card. The 5,000mAh battery supports USB-C fast charging with up to 36 watts, and the Sharp Aquos R10 ships with Android 15. Three major Android updates and five years of security patches are promised.
