Photo Announcement. Sharp Aquos sense7 and Aquos sense7 plus - do you really have honest 240 Hz here?

Sharp introduced a pair of mid-range smartphones in distant Japan. Aquos sense7 and Aquos sense7 plus. The first pleases with its compactness. The second is a high refresh rate of the screen, as much as 240 Hz. Let's start with the screens.


Aquos sense7

Matrices are called-magnified IGZO OLED. A signature feature is the dynamic refresh rate. From 1 Hz and above.

Aquos sense7 is very compact, with a screen diagonal of only 6.1" (89 cm²). Aquos sense7 plus slightly larger, 6.4" (101 cm²). The resolutions are slightly different, 1080x2432 (436 ppi) for the first and 1080x2340 (403 ppi) for the second.

HourAquos sense7 has the most common update, i.e. up to 60 Hz (namely, "before" - dynamics, we remember).

And Aquos sense7 plus claims a refresh rate of as much as 240Hz. Which, for starters, is not supported by the chipset used.

I can't understand anything from the official pages. Watching news. One, two, ten. Oops. Gizmochina writes about the refresh rate of 120Hz and about 240Hz, which are obtained using MEMC (Motion Estimation, Motion Compensation) technology. This is more like the truth. Those. we are talking about soft interpolation, when something is inserted between normal framesintermediate. Sharp has had fun with such things more than once. In particular, in last year's flagship Sharp Aquos R6, the frequency of 240 Hz was achieved by alternating honest and empty (black) frames. Apparently, in the case of Aquos sense7 plus we are dealing with something similar.

Other characteristics. For the most part, they are identical for both smartphones.

The chipset used is called Qualcomm Snapdragon 695. Good average level. Around 400 thousand AnTuTu points.

Memory. Also mediocre. 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. There is supportMemory card.

Batteries. 4570 mAh for the younger model and 5050 mAh for the older one. High-speed charging is not mentioned. But it is promised that after three years of operation, the capacity of the batteries will be at least 90% of the nominal.

Cameras. Front cameras with a resolution of 8 MP. The rear cameras are dual, 50 + 8 MP - the main camera plus a wide-angle one. The brand of the sensor used is not named, but the characteristics are very similar to the fact that there is a rather serious OmniVision OV50A.

Other. Smartphones, as is customary in Japan, are secure. Full protection against moisture-dust according to the class�su IP68. Plus certification in accordance with MIL-STD-810G (which does not have to say about the shock resistance of smartphones).

NFC modules are available. There are also fingerprint scanners, but where exactly they are is categorically unclear. Maybe on the side. Or embedded in the screen.

Information about the cost of something is nowhere to be seen yet.
