"AQUOS ZERO6" of "Light but justice", "AQUOS SENSE6" with a battery -owned one -Sharp new AQUOS presentation

Shigeru Kobayashi, General Manager of the Sharp Communication Business Division, Personal Communication Division."We will ship more than 10 million 5G products by the end of 2020."

Use cutting -edge technology in the middle range

At the beginning of the online reporter briefing session, Mr. Shigeru Kobayashi, who was on stage, said, "All of the AQUOS series is 5G compatible. Sharp has already developed 20 5G terminals, and domestic 5G spread as a manufacturer.I am greatly contributing to. "

Kobayashi says, "I will change my own focus and innovation into future common sense," through the AQUOS series.He emphasizes that it is important not only to develop flagship terminals, but also to develop cutting -edge technologies in the middle range series.Sharp announced the flagship machine "AQUOS R6" in June 2021, but the DNA is a new product of this new product, such as improving the camera image quality obtained by the development and the power -saving IGZO OLED display.I was connected to the main subject because it was taken over.

“Neo High End Smartphone” AQUOS ZERO6

AQUOS ZERO6 is a product that challenges the contradictory theme of "ultra -lightweight" and "functions".Mr. Kobayashi explained, "In the current smartphone market, the more people who use smartphones have to have a heavy smartphone that is harder to hold," and in AQUOS ZERO6, "The cutting edge of the essential functions is covered.Structural design and manufacturing have dramatically reduced the weight other than the main parts. "

The battery is a large capacity of 4,010mAh, and it supports 5g millimeters / sub6 on the communication surface.Equipped with an earphone jack and a micro SDXC slot, a triple camera is also used, but the total weight (lightness was a hot topic at the time of release) is reduced to about 146 g of just 5G.rice field.

Mr. Kobayashi introduced, "Now, for humanity, it is a smartphone that comes next to clothing and shelter. Aquos Zero6 is a neo -high -end smartphone that can be worn and use it for any purpose at the same time."

"Light but justice" AQUOS ZERO6

Seiya Koyama, a Sharp telecommunications business book, explained in more detail about the secrets that AQUOS ZERO6 could be reduced.The first thing was listed was that the weight of the magnesium alloy, which weighed 1/5 of the iron, was reduced and the thinner was 7.9 mm.He also explained that the adoption of the durable cover glass CORNING GORILLA GLASS VICTUS, and that the back panel was also thinned by using a hybrid with both "scratches" and "bending".In addition, it was said that the AQUOS ZERO6 was designed with numerous ingenuity, such as reducing the substrate area by 14 %.

In addition, the light and agile operation is one of the features of AQUOS ZERO6.First of all, the communication speed is the first to support 5g millimeters in the series, can now be communicated at a speed of up to 2.8Gbps at the time of receiving and up to 480Mbps at the time of transmission."If a 1GB movie is downloaded, it takes 3 seconds. You can download 2 hours of movies at the station and enjoy it slowly in the car," says Koyama.

The display is equipped with a unique 240Hz organic EL display developed.Perform draws 240 times per second and perform touch detection.Not only games, but also non -games, such as SNS, such as scrolling SNS, and news apps, it is now possible to display clearly with few afterimages.In addition, the part related to entertainment, such as 1 billion colors display and stereo speaker installation, has been enhanced, explaining that "it can be immersed by games and movies with real images and sounds."

SOC adopts Snapdragon 750g 5G.The memory is 8GB and the built -in storage is 128GB, which is "Multitasking easily" (Mr. Koyama) specifications.The battery has about 20%longer than the AQUOS ZERO5G Basic.

For the camera, it is equipped with "Propix3", which applies the technology obtained by the development of AQUOS R6.Noise reduction and edge processing are optimized so that the contours of the subject can be expressed more naturally.

AQUOS ZERO6 will be released after the fall of 2021.It has already announced that KDDI (au) / SoftBank will handle it.It is important to note that it does not support the frequency of DOCOMO platinum band, Band 19 (800MHz).The question and answer session explained the Sharp's opinion (described later).

Beauty x ease of use AQUOS SENSE6

Mr. Hiroyuki Shimizu of the Sharp Communication Business Headquarters, who was on stage, introduced the latest terminal of the "AQUOS SENSE" series "AQUOS SENSE" series, with the concept of the necessary and sufficient concepts.

Mr. Shimizu said that the battery market was increasing in the recent smartphone market, and the average battery capacity of the smartphone that appeared in 2021 has reached 4,600mAh.Along with that, the size of the smartphone has become larger and thicker."I have a question about the giant smartphone. Is it really desired to be larger for battery capacity?" (Mr. Shimizu).

The aim was to realize a safe battery life in a more easy -to -use style.Mr. Shimizu appeals, "I want to make another day another step, and I want to make it fun and ample.

In AQUOS SENSE6, the frame around the screen is narrowed, giving a neat impression.Easy to see and ease of holding are exquisite balance.In addition, a fingerprint sensor in the screen is also installed.The battery capacity is 4,570mAh, but the terminal thickness is reduced to 7.9mm.How did this happen?It seems that the newly adopted IGZO OLED display contributed to its thinning.Unlike the liquid crystal, in addition to the unnecessary backlight, the use of a thin flexible OLED, which only has a thickness of one bill, was "realized a beautiful style" (Mr. Shimizu).

In order to extend the battery life, we also focused on energy -saving performance.IGZO OLED's idling stop technology and image quality adjustment technology "rich color technology" realize 15 % of power saving.As a result, we have a "one week of battery life".A new feature that is also concerned about intelligent charge that suppresses battery deterioration.It is surprising that the battery capacity will maintain more than 90 % after three years.

AQUOS SENSE6 is also a triple camera specification of standard, wide -angle, and telephoto.A beautiful example was introduced in the presentation.

SOC adopts Snapdragon 690G 5G.Memory and built -in storage are available in two variations: 6GB / 128GB and 4GB / 64GB.

AQUOS SENSE6 will be released after the fall of 2021.NTT DOCOMO and KDDI (au) have announced their handling.The KDDI version is available in three colors, a light capper, silver, and a black, and the docomo version is available in four colors, exclusively for docomo online shops: blue metallic.

Smart home appliances cooperation, data transfer initiatives, etc.

In addition, progress was also introduced about Sharp's IoT smart appliances.According to the AQUOS smartphone and Cocoro Home directly cooperated, the AQUOS Smart Home Hub, which can easily operate smart home appliances without going through an app, has been developed.The advantage is that you can call Smart Home Hub from the smartphone's notification area to check the smartphone appliances on / off and check the status of driving.

The usage was simplified, and it was explained that if you connect your smart home appliances to Wi-Fi and sign in to Cocoro Members with both home appliances and smartphones, you can start using it.AQUOS Smart Home Hub will be offered to all AQUOS series since November 2021.

And there was also an introduction to "Easy Data Copy", which can easily transfer data from old smartphones to new smartphones.You can use a USB cable bundled in the new terminal of AQUOS, and the old terminal supports both Android and iOS.It was explained that the entire entire wallpaper / Wi-Fi setting / photo / message / application can be copied / downloaded.This feature will be provided in all AQUOS series since 2021.

Finally, there was an announcement about the official accessories.Aquos Zero6 and AQUOS SENSE6 are collaborated with eight companies (10 brands), the largest in AQUOS history, and have prepared safe and secure accessories.

The expected price is assumed to be equivalent to the previous model.Aiming to surpass the previous model

At the end of the presentation, there was a question -and -answer session, and the person in charge answered the reporter's question.The assumed price is, "It's decided to be decided by the distributor, but the Sharp assumes a level that is not much different from the previous model (AQUOS ZERO6 is AQUOS ZERO5G Basic, AQUOS SENSE6 is AQUOS SENSE5)."Regarding the target of the sales volume, "we are aiming for the number of shipments that exceed the previous model while not disclosing it."

When asked why AQUOS ZERO6 is not compatible with docomo platinum band (Band19), Koyama said, "It is an optimized form for each carrier's band configuration, which optimizes overall costs."Kobayashi said, "I understood what would happen when I inserted a SIM of another carrier. That is a part where there is room for discussion. Most of us are now most people.I think that the tendency to use it as it is in the carrier you purchased. We will respond to frequencies that can be handled by terminals, but if you need to respond only to specific carriers due to the balance between cost and performance.Is currently judging on a case -by -case basis. "

Mr. Kobayashi's answer to the question of how the market 5G smartphone is being deployed is, "Sharp has already introduced 20 5G compatible products. 5G compatible in the future will not be unusual in the future. The market is the market.I wonder if I will shift to what to do using 5G. "

Mr. Kobayashi was asked about the introduction status of the wireless charging "Qi" (Chie) that he used to be actively adopted, "If it corresponds to Qi), the coil will enter, so the thickness will come out, but that is the battery capacity.There is also the idea that it is better to use it. This time, both models featured thinner and lightness, so we did not see Qi.We are. There is also a Qi that can charge high -speed charging, and we are thinking about deployment depending on the product in the future. "

This time, the entire lineup became an organic EL, but Kobayashi was asked if the model that adopted the liquid crystal would be gone -Mr. Kobayashi said, "I will decide for each model. OLED improves power efficiency and increases batteries.Mas. The design of the terminal is also stylish. However, the liquid crystal has the goodness of the liquid crystal. "
