With an older SoC, which was in the fastest mobile phones in the world a few years ago, Sharp wants to shake up the middle class in 2020. The Aquos V also offers a dual camera and fast memory. This raises expectations, which we will check in the review.

The Sharp Aquos R9 Pro is an excellent flagship smartphone that has almost everything a user can ask for. Want a superior design, this phone has it. Want a fantastic display, the Sharp Aquos R9 Pro has it too. The same goes for the camera, chipset, RAM, and battery. They all provide excellent flagship-level performance and the users will not find any complaints there. The cost of this phone is the lack of a screen protector and the use of Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 CPU, which has a slightly lower price than its predecessor. The pricing is a bit on the highest side but it is worth it, considering everything it offers. If you have been looking for a flagship phone with a balanced set of specs, then the Sharp Aquos R9 Pro is the phone to buy. If not, then buy an alternative smartphone.

The Sharp Aquos Sense 9 has provided what other smartphones have been failing to do in the $500 price range. The $500 market used to be highly competitive but the same cannot be said now since most phones in this range focus on the chipset too much, the display, or the battery. However, the Sharp Aquos Sense 9 delivers in almost every aspect of the phone and not just in a specific area. The display has a super high refresh rate, which is rarely found in other phones. The camera is also great with a fantastic ultra-wide performance. The battery is also great and charges decently fast. However, the best part is its design, which not only looks good but will also last a long time. The only con is the processor, which is not on par with other phones in the same price range.

The Sharp Aquos Sense9 is a nice option for someone who needs a hardy smartphone that can take significant abuse, and yet remains thin and light. Compared with Sharp's own Aquos R9, which caters to a similar audience, the Sense9 is more attractively designed, but also less powerful, which shows in its lower selling price of S$569. If you are someone that's always going on outdoor adventures, or really clumsy with your smartphone, the Sharp Aquos Sense9 is a worth a consideration, and can be bought from Shopee or Lazada.

If you're familiar with the Sharp Aquos R9, you may be feeling a sense of déjà vu. After all, the Sharp Aquos R10 looks exactly like the R9, and I wasn't sure which was which when I first laid eyes on the phone. It looks the same, with the exact same dimensions as well. That said, it's about 2g heavier, which you'll barely notice. And to be clear, the Sharp Aquos R10 has almost the same specs. That means, yes, it has the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 processor, the same 5,000mAh battery capacity, the same 50MP wide and ultra-wide camera (but with a 14-channel colour spectrum sensor), and same 50MP selfie camera.

69.89%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
