Sharp Aquos S3 mini - User Reviews

  • Mini? Really? At 5.5" display?

  • The phone was designed by Foxconn. Foxconn acquired Sharp.

  • What was Sharp thinking when they design this phone? Were they out of their mind?

  • you can buy it online from JD just for 145$

  • I found the great stereo sound on listening the YouTube Music channel with Sharp head phones (from old 1988 stereo cassette player) and S3 Mini smartphone. The sound is awesome. Like I came back to 1980s, it is the pleasure to see and listen. I disappointed without Google service on phone but stereo sound made this phone is great and useful to me.

  • when it will be available this phone ? From March until now I couldn't find it an the market

  • Superb phone... Its rare to get an awan phone in this cost... Amazing phone...luved it..

  • so anyone bought this phone? share ur experience here

  • hows the battery life in aquos s2

  • u sure or not

  • First is Sharp :) Sharp 302 SH or Sharp Aquos Crystal 402 2014/15 Indium Gallium Zinc Oxid /IGZO/ displays is with amazing colors and superb quality. 5 time Aplle want to make deal with Sharp for display but Sharp say NO :) First phone with iris detector is Fujitsu before 3 y. What is Aplle ? Old technologies with fanatastic price!!!!!

  • Well Sharp had this phone 4 years ago: Sharp Aquos Crystal Sharp was the first smartphone i think with less bezels; So copying idea; I think Apple do it too...

  • is it? then its a deal breaker

  • Don't be ridiculous have you seen a design like it before iphone x ???!! Ha?? Looks who's copying an idea by Apple?? Mostly all Android phone 😂

  • Exactly

  • ¿No LTE?

  • Man but there is no notch its just camera sensor in middle. Apple made the notch functional. II mean it does different things when you slide down either part of notch. You essential is not that case. Get you fact right before you start posting your nonsense. Cheers bro :-)

  • NO 3.5mm jack lah.

  • No, the display is NOT an IGZO. Can't you verify the information you post at least for once?

  • That's very weird. how different is it compare to the aquos s2? btw, I got the Aquos S2 and it's a very good phone.

  • The battery mAH, are you kidding me? Oh com'on!

  • Agree.

  • looks good unlike some shitphone x

  • @CptPower, the first phone with notch was the Essencial and not Apple GEt you're facts right. Before you comment nonesense......

  • Gah! This needs a 4000 mah battery... So close to a great all-around device, especially at that price point.

  • @CptPower - It has nothing to do with the notch or copying Apple, it's the fact that they're trying to replicate popular tech (Essential Phone Notch + Front Facing Fingerprint Sensor) that's why people are calling it ugly. It's the worst of both worlds. The Samsung Galaxy S9, LG V30, and Vivo Apex, or Vivo X20 UD are the epitome of phones that feel futuristic in the hand and have excellent designs.

  • LoL everybody saying ugly design i bet if it made by Apple and rest of the companies copy like notch from Apple X they will be obssesed by design. You people dont know what you want. You people talk trash on aproximetely anything. You people are unable to value a good phone. You people never understand that this have a SUPER B specs for a reasonable price.

  • 250 euro? lol this is impossible, this is value shoping!

  • So ugly!

  • Why putting “Sharp” in front of display? Very bad ID.

  • What and ugly design!

  • How is this a mini, the Aquos S2 is 1 mm shorter??? :-/ And has 660 as an option. Meh!

  • The bottom part of this phone is off-putting

  • Nothing in this article is correct! The photo shows the Aquos S2 (a Chinese model), but this is not explained. The specifications given are those of the Japanese model Android One S3 (it is not Aquos). The Aquos S3 is again a Chinese model and it will not have an IGZO display and has nothing to do with the Android One S3.

  • The Concept was great after face off, the phone has horror look

  • I told you previous picture was just fan-made concept.

  • Downgrade !

  • just give the company to GOOGLE, just like HTC with that crappy phone htc u11 eye pricing it 500 euro, lol i wonder why htc naming that phone EYE bcuze the front camera did not bring anything new, just a dual cheap 5mp camera & old 2 years chipset SD652 chinese brand pricing like this phone 150-180$

  • what happen to that all news about s3 & s3 mini with SD630 & SD660 with 18:9 screen a downgrade from s2, SHAME

  • Me too

  • I also wonder what happened on 16/1/18, i thought have press conference about Aquos S3 in Taiwan?

  • Isn't this S3 mini? Can someone clarify where is the real S3? And, what happened to the originally planned 1/16 official release press?

  • This looks like an S2 by Sharp.

  • You know that It is very easy to download playlist. Just copy the URL and paste it and download it. You can download playlist mp3 free.

  • Where i can buy it?

  • Aquos Xx has looks better than..

  • 142 mm tall. Still too big for a one-hand usage. Should be 5'', so would be 131 mm tall maximum.

  • It lookos little bit better than the predecessor.

  • The front facing camera placement

  • I think having the Google search box on home pages is tacky. As far as I am concerned, those boxes are bloatware.

  • If this is anything like their TV's, I'd buy it. Who is actually making it? Will there be a bunch of bloatware on it?

  • Looks nice. How about a Snapdragon 845 SoC??

  • with this display, 1440x2880pixels, 555ppi, 5.8 inch, need a powerfull battery even have quick charge 4 if the company sport it with a flagship chipset, like 8,.. series, they cant put a powerfull battery like 4000 or 4200, 4500 but if this device come with snapdragon 670 after that they are free and can put a powerfull battery i dont like asus but asus zenfone 3 zoom its good exampls for my opinon

  • When will this shit arrive? I've been watching this for two months now!

  • According to the latest news Sharp is going to expand it sales line to Europe in 2018 and that's good news for when this phone comes available.

  • I know this phone would be great but I know Sharp would just sell it in Japan like they always do so no point in craving for this phone.

  • Hello dude ..Sharp is not dead it just bought by Foxconn...Like nokia under hmd...Nokia name used and mobiles r launched same foxconn doing with Sharp

  • Foxconn or apple doesn't help, they eats up other companies

  • you know it doesn't exist? it's a fan made concept

  • If this design comes out real, I really really really want this phone. When will it be announced? at IFA2017?

  • Wow very nice.... Hope it will be released here in phl...

  • probably it's fake render :( I wish Sharp expanded to Europe

  • Hi! Try at aliexpress, or have you tried it already? I hope this will come officially to the global markets.

  • Reminds me of the U11 but better

  • I wanna this beauty ! Aquos S3 is beautiful siren :D

  • It's a shame i wanted all those beautiful lumia phones to be running andoid so badly but oh well

  • OMG! Screw the S8 I'm getting this one for sure! The question is where can i buy it from in Europe?? i wanted to get the S2 but it is impossible to find it anywhere so far. I even went to Japanese websites to buy one without any luck.

  • Will this phone be available globally , please tell me .

  • IGZO display is indeed amazing!

  • IGZO IPS will have no burn-in, unlike the AMOLED abd POLED suckers! :) This phone is a winner. Sharp is gonna be big with Foxconn's help.

  • 3230mh is more than enough

  • they can't match what the mobile industry has to offer directly, but N8 is a promising device, we'll just have to wait, Sharp is still the King of Less Bezel phones

  • i < 3 u aquos s3

  • Great phone great price but not so great battery

  • Shit, 5.8" and only 3230 mAh battery...

  • Nokia should have come out with stylish and exciting designs like this

  • Looks like Mi Mix but with a small bezel

  • Wat da f!!! make this available in PH. Surely better sales coming....

  • This baby really look..sharp!

  • SICK!! hope they will sell this outside Japan!

  • I like this much better than the S2! Bring it to Europe Sharp! :)

  • Hope Sharp will wake up and go ahead. One of Japanese King brand. I like it.

  • #thekingisback!!!

  • Hope will be available in gobal rom for south east asia

  • OnePlus 5 finally has a challenger! (in terms of qualify and price, of course). It's shameful that the battery is just 3230mAh and more importantly fixed!!!

  • everyone wants to have it this is the begining of innovation

  • Unique in all bezels less phones until now! Beautiful

  • Well done Sharp!!! I really hope Sharp returns to western markets! Trully gorgeous, bezeless and unique!

  • Yes I hope so too this phone looks gorgeous. But I can't remember Sharp phones being available here in Europe since like the Sharp TM100, and that's a long time ago.

  • it's gorgeous

  • As Japan tech fan this could be my next phone. I use xperia for a long time, but this spec. and price are perfect. Hope this phone will be avaliable in europe.

  • This the first bezelless phone I like and I think this is the most beautiful bezelless smartphone! Just try to compare it to g6,s8,mimix and s2, and this phone make them look dated already

  • I do want this one, Worldwide please please plea.....

  • it looks so stunning!! 6gb/sd 835 and 450$ are absolutely no brainer
