Sharp Aquos S3 - User Reviews

  • Yes it is Still competitive

  • I wonder if this phone is still the world's smallest phone with a 6-inch screen...

  • it has dangled adapter for 3.5mm through its usb type c, included in the box

  • According to another website, its screen is scratch-resistant but don't know what kind of glass it uses..

  • Display protection?

  • Just bought the phone from Tomtop in Lazada Singapore for S$164... hope it can be used with TPG 4G network...

  • I solved the battery life issue by shutting down some apps and other things. It seems to last longer now. Does anyone know how t transfer data from the internal memory to a sdcard? Btw,I have the 4GB ram edition. Overall it's a nice light weigt Phone and user friendly. I didn't check all of it yet, but till know I'm satisfied. It's also fast and fingerprints and other spots are almost invisible.

  • The battery life sucks. I need to charge it twice a day. Also the keyboard is very annoying. I have 3 languages as input and when I type something, it appears in all 3 languages. It's not possible to fix it on just one language. If possible, please let me know how...

  • Other OEMs cannot do that, apple has a copyright on that design

  • No, it doesn't have ip68 or any water resistance rating

  • Does anyone know if Sharp updates their phones regularly/ if this one has received any updates at all?

  • Hi there! I'm interested about this phone. I need some opinions from someone who has buy it.

  • NFC included - not in Mi (that's a big deal) and it's $129 on Banggood.com

  • It has !!!!

  • Phone does not have a 3.5mm port

  • anyone used this hows battery life?

  • It's $139....

  • It's sold on AliExpress for $145

  • wireless charging?

  • "Octa-core 2.2 GHz Cortex-A53" RIP

  • IP68? :(

  • false, it has no 3.5mm jack

  • Can you verify that there is a 6GB RAM version? The ones I've seen for sale are all 4GB.

  • Also it clocks at2.2

  • Like the 630 soc don't need the 835 too much

  • So for almost the same money you can get a Mi mix 2 with snapdragon 835 and 6 gb ram and almost bezel less screen

  • Big phone small battery huge price nediocre specs tahts not very promising.

  • Sharp, which introduced the bezel-less smartphone 4 years ago, now copying the notch from iPhone. They don't need to put the notch. Notch is a horror for the future of smartphones.

  • nokia 7 plus have a version with 6gb ram & 64gb rom china version

  • Or, you could spend that same $450 on an Essential PH-1 or the Mi Mix 1/2. All three are much better phones and Mi Mix 1 actually has a headphone jack

  • Aquos S3: Now with a bigger notch!

  • Nokia 7 is better choice.It will get updates for 2 years,have vanilla Android,have better procesor and I think better camera.- is 2 gigs less ram.

  • i found AQUOS S2 with 128GB rom 6GB ram with SD660 for 450$ what i see now, there is no news about SD660 in AQUOS S3!

  • both of them almost have same price(shart a little more) which one? NOKIA 7 PLUS or SHARP AQUOS S3 & why?

  • Why every android phone with notch always have chin? look what apple done to iphone, it has notch but have no chin.

  • Sharp really done great job using 18:9 with notch. Others manufacturer using 18.7:9 , 19:9 or 19.5:9 resulting their phone looks very long.

  • It has 3.5mm jack.? Are you sure GSMArena.?

  • No EIS nor OIS? And this should have 4k video recording as well. Nowadays not only high-end phones have that feature. Anyway congrats to Chinese division of Sharp at making a compact big screen smart phone! They have achieved a big thing.
