Sharp AQUOS V With Snapdragon 835 & Dual Cameras Goes Official

Sharp AQUOS V have been released officially in Taiwan. The most interesting fact about the phone is that it draws power from a Snapdragon 835 SoC, which is Qualcomm’s flagship chipset back in 2017. It seems a questionable decision from the brand since the processor is already two years old and there are better choices on the market. The phone also features a dual camera cluster and a notch-free display with a 18:9 aspect ratio. It comes with Android 9 Pie pre-loaded and packs a 3,090 mAh battery. Its dimensions and weights are 157x76x9 mm and 173g, respectively.
