Sharp brought two new phones to Europe – the Aquos
C10 and the Aquos B10. The C10 is the better-specced of the two and is a
variation on the Aquos S2. Its battery is a bit of a concern, though, while the
B10 has no such issues.
The Sharp Aquos C10 has a 5.5” IPS LCD with 1,080 x
2,040px resolution – that’s a 17:9 aspect ratio. The screen is covered with
Gorilla Glass and yes, it has a notch. It’s a small one, only the 8MP selfie
camera lives there (f/2.0, 1080p video). There’s a dual camera on the back
– a 12MP + 8MP setup. The 12MP camera has a relatively bright f/1.75 aperture
and can record 1080p video.
The C10 runs Android 8.0 Oreo (with Sharp’s skin on
top) on a Snapdragon 630 chipset. It has 4GB of RAM and 64GB storage (plus a
microSD slot). The battery is kind of small, it only has 2,700mAh capacity (the
S2 has a 3,020mAh battery). The Sharp Aquos C10 is priced at € 400.
The Sharp Aquos B10 sports a notch-free display,
5.7” in diagonal and with 720 x 1,440px resolution (that’s 18:9). It too has
Gorilla Glass protection and the selfie camera above it has a 13MP sensor. The dual camera is a 13MP + 8MP
combo, the second sensor is behind a wide-angle 120° lens. Video capture again
tops out at 1080p.
The B10 is powered by a MediaTek MT6750 chipset and
runs an outdated Android 7.0 Nougat. The chipset is connected to 3GB of RAM and
32GB storage (and there’s a hybrid microSD slot).
There is some good news – the Aquos B10 has a large
4,000mAh battery. It’s going to cost you € 300.
