Aquos Crystal With 5-Inch Edge-to-Edge

Sharp on Tuesday launched the Aquos Crystal smartphone, which will be exclusively sold via Sprint in the US at $239.99 (approximately Rs. 14,500) without contract.

The Sharp Aquos Crystal will be also available on Sprint’s prepaid brands Virgin Mobile (in Black) and Boost Mobile (in White). In both cases, the Aquos Crystal will be priced at $149.99 (approximately Rs. 9,100).

The highlight of Sharp’s new Aquos Crystal smartphone is the nearly bezel-free touchscreen on device. The smartphone also sports Harman Kardon audio technologies.

The Aquos Crystal comes with a 5-inch S-CG Silicon LCD HD (720×1280 pixels) edge-to-edge display. The smartphone runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat out-of-the-box, and is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 (MSM8926) coupled with 1.5GB of RAM. It comes with built-in 8GB storage, which is further expandable up to 128GB via microSD card.

The smartphone sports an 8-megapixel rear camera, while there is a 1.2-megapixel front camera also onboard. The rear camera comes with features such as scenery modes, framing advisor, night catch, HDR, Panorama, sequential shots, and shutter detect. Interestingly, the Sharp Aquos Crystal features the front-facing camera at the bottom of the front panel of the handset; something we also saw in the Sony Xperia ZL.

 

Sharp’s Aquos Crystal packs a 2040mAh battery, which is rated to deliver up to 13 hours of talk time, while it measures 131x67x10mm and weighs 141 grams. The smartphone supports Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, Micro-USB, 3G, and 4G LTE connectivity options.

The Japanese electronics giant has sought to include some interesting audio features for Aquos Crystal users, with Harman’s Clari-Fi audio restoration technology, and LiveStage signal processing for a ‘lifelike headphone listening experience’. Sharp is also touting the Clip Now feature, which lets users take screenshots with a swipe and save them with an embedded URL for easy sharing.
