Sharp Sense4 is practically tiny by
today’s standards with a 5.8” display (1080p+, IGZO panel). And notice the
fingerprint reader below the display, that’s a design element we haven’t seen in
ages. If you put your finger on it and hold for a few seconds, it will activate
the wireless payment system.
The Sense4 is powered by a Snapdragon 720G
chipset, which offers more than double the performance of the previous model,
says Sharp (the Sense3 is based on the S630 chip). The new model comes with 4GB
of RAM and 64GB storage. The back features a 12MP main cam (f/2.0), 12MP
ultrawide (121°) and an 8MP telephoto lens with 2x magnification (53 mm). On
the front, an 8MP selfie cam lives in a notch. The Sharp Sense4 is equipped
with a 4,570 mAh battery (make a note of this number). The phone will be
available before the end of the year in Light Copper, Silver and Black.
The Sharp Sense4 Plus is anything but tiny
– it moves up to a 6.7” display. It’s not an IGZO panel but it does feature 90
Hz refresh rate and 120Hz touch sampling rate. The fingerprint reader has moved
on the back, a more sensible layout. The chipset is the same, S720G, but on the
Plus model it has double the RAM and storage – 8GB and 128GB, respectively.
However, the battery capacity drops to 4,120mAh, despite the larger chassis.
The camera is a mixed bag. The main
shooter gets a larger 48MP sensor behind a brighter f/1.8 lens. However, the
ultrawide cam drops the resolution to 5MP and the field of view to 115°. Which
is still better than the zoom cam, which is gone completely, replaced by two
2MP modules (macro and depth). The selfie cam also gets a 2MP depth sensor
buddy.
