"AQUOS SENSE6" Impression -Beautiful large screen x lightness standard model

Popular series with a total of 10 million units

The AQUOS SENSE series is a Sharp standard model.It is an attractive series that can be picked up from the 30,000 yen range, despite the basic usability as a smartphone, such as waterproofing, Osaifu -Keitai, vivid display and battery life.Five generations have appeared since the announcement in 2017, but this time it has been announced that the cumulative shipment of the series has exceeded 10 million units.

The new AQUOS SENSE6 is equipped with an IGZO OLED display for the first time in the series.Both the large screen and the lightness are balanced, and it has evolved suitable for the 5G spread period.

At the same time as the product announcement on the 28th, the handling of NTT DOCOMO and au has been announced.The NTT DOCOMO version "AQUOS SENSE6 SH-54B" will be released in mid-November, and the au version "AQUOS SENSE6 SHG05" will be released in early November.

Bright display even in middle range

The main feature of AQUOS SENSE6 is the vividness of the screen."IGZO's OLED Display" was first adopted as a smartphone in the middle range zone.

It supports 1 billion colors (10 -bit color), supports HDR, and is a perfect display to enjoy video distribution services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney +.

The maximum brightness is 500 Nito and the peak brightness is 1600 Nito, the highest class display in this price range.In addition, it supports brightness control for each hue for the first time in the AQUOS series.The brightness of the part that tends to be whitish in the video can be displayed.

The feature of these displays was not only a singing complaint, but also a convincing performance to see the actual machine.In particular, when I displayed the HDR video, I felt that it would be as good as the high -end smartphone of the 100,000 yen range that I usually use.

One of the selling of 120Hz driving is one of the top models of AQUOS smartphones, but this AQUOS SENSE6 has a maximum refresh rate of 60Hz, which is not compatible with "double -speed driving".

3 Eye cameras are the same as the upper model

The three -eye camera on the back equipped with AQUOS SENSE6 adopts the same sensor and lens combination as the upper model AQUOS ZERO6 that was announced at the same time.The only thing for AQUOS SENSE6 is that there is no laser auto focus for night view shooting.

The software that affects the result of the photo is equipped with a new image engine "Propix3".AQUOS R6 has achieved significant improvements in camera image quality by supervision of Leica, but in the process of developing the technology, it is said that the know -how cultivated by Sharp has been included to improve the image quality (AQUOS SENSE6 itself is Leica itself.Not supervised).

Lightness that does not get tired with sufficient battery life and one hand

"AQUOS ZERO6", which was announced at the same time as AQUOS SENSE6, claims to be the lightest in the world with a 5G smartphone, but the AQUOS SENSE6 is 156g weighing 156g, which is less than a 6 -inch smartphone.

The body is finished with an integrated molding of aluminum alloys, as in the previous series, and has three colors, NTT DOCOMO, au version, light capper, silver, and black.In addition, the NTT DOCOMO version also sells Blue Metallic as a docomo online shop limited color.

The thickness is about 1mm thinner than the previous generation AQUOS R5G.Perhaps because it has a shape closer to a square, I don't get the impression that it has become thinner from the appearance, but when I took it in my hand, I felt that I could hold one hand with a moderate thickness.The top, bottom, left and right of the terminal are molded slowly into a dented shape, so that the fingers are hooked to make it easier to support.

The battery capacity is 4,570mAh, and the same capacity as the previous generation is secured.Nevertheless, the weight was 156g, which is 22g lighter than the previous model.Same screen size 6.38g lighter than 1 inch iPhone 11.The fingerprint sensor is equipped with a built -in display.

　New functions that cooperate with smart home

With the announcement of AQUOS SENSE6 (and AQUOS ZERO6), the new feature "AQUOS SMART HOME HUB", which is linked to Sharp's smart home service, has been announced.It will be standard on new products to be released and all models of AQUOS smartphones provided by the OS update.

AQUOS Smart Home Hub is a function that controls home appliances that support Cocoro Home from the smartphone from the smartphone notification area.It is a function for quickly performing simple operations, such as the power on and off the air conditioner and checking the state of the refrigerator.

Compatible home appliances will start with two models, Sharp's air conditioner and air purifier, and will be used sequentially to refrigerators, oven range "Helsio", and cooker "Healthio Hot Cook".

By the way, in the next OS Android 12, the operation of the smart home appliance platform "Google Home" can be performed from the Android notification area.This function is common to AQUOS Smart Home Hub in concept and usage.According to Sharp's developer, Google is proposing both services.Future updates may make improvements according to the OS standard function.

　Empa also adds a less habit.

The "Emopper", which has been installed for a long time on the AQUOS smartphone, has been added to the sound of men and women.

Empa is a function of "smartphone talks", and when you put a smartphone, it conveys information such as news and weather forecasts in a humorous way.

Until now, the empa characters were given names such as "Emiko" and "Sakuo".In each case, there is a unique taste in the way of speaking and the focus, and sometimes we talk with Dajare.The strength of the empty character's habit is easy for some people to feel familiar, but it was hard to say that many people prefer.

The sounds of men and women added this time convey information in a way without habit, like a TV announcer.For example, in Emopa, it can be said that it is easy to accept for those who want to know the news and are not good at the unique habit of characters.

In addition, AQUOS SENSE6 has a large number of Sharp's unique functions, which can be enabled from the "AQUOS Trick" on the setting screen.For example, there is a function that makes it convenient to use a small smartphone, such as a "scroll auto" that allows you to read the screen without touching your hand, and a "CLIP NOW" that allows you to take a screenshot by moving your finger from the edge of the screen.

"Pay Trigger", which launches a settlement application etc. by pressing and holding a fingerprint sensor, has a small launcher that can be moved to the registered application in advance.For example, it can be used more conveniently in a scene such as "I want to call a point card app and a smartphone payment app quickly".

In addition, the function of transferring photos and contacts from the previous smartphone, which is convenient when replacing a smartphone, is also standard on the AQUOS smartphone.The adapter for connecting the previous smartphone directly with the cable is also included as a sample, but you can transfer data at high speed by wired connection.

The au version also supports ESIM

Sharp has shown a policy of "AQUOS smartphones in principle to support ESIM" when the AQUOS SENSE6 announced.

ESIM is a mechanism that allows you to write your mobile phone contract information such as phone numbers without a physical SIM card.For example, there is a unique convenience that you can register an online limited rate plan on the Internet and start using it as it is.In 2021, major carriers have announced a price plan for ESIM, making it easier to use.

In AQUOS SENSE6, while the au version supports ESIM, the NTT docomo version is not ESIM.

There seems to be something other than the docomo version and the au version

As mentioned earlier, AQUOS SENSE6 has been announced only at NTT DOCOMO and au at the time of the announcement, and other sales channels have not been decided.However, the AQUOS SENSE series so far has been handled outside of both carriers, and has been deployed to mass retailers and MVNO companies as a sharp manufacturer brand version (so -called SIM free version).This AQUOS SENSE6 will definitely see that the SIM -free version will be available.

In addition to the news release announced by Sharp, in addition to the same "RAM 4GB / ROM (storage) 64GB" model as the NTT docomo version / au version specification, there is a model with "RAM 6GB / ROM 128GB".Is revealed.

One that is perfect for enjoying the video with 5G

Since Sharp's AQUOS smartphone has developed three series, AQUOS R, AQUOS ZERO, AQUOS Sense, AQUOS SENSE has played an important role as a smartphone to deliver to many people.In this AQUOS SENSE6, there is a way to deliver the results cultivated in the development of the upper model to a lower price model.The lightness according to the AQUOS ZERO6, and the IGZO OLED display derived from AQUOS R6 and tuning the camera are good examples.

It is also designed to be designed to be used for everyday usability by responding exactly to waterproofing, Osaifu -Keitai, and fingerprint authentication.If you want to choose something that has no major weaknesses while choosing a price with an Android smartphone, AQUOS SENSE6 is the first one to consider.

And there is also a good point unique to AQUOS SENSE6.It is a display that is more than the price, a large screen, lightness and power saving performance.This can be said to be the unique strength of Sharp, which is developing the display in -house.

However, the NTT docomo version / au version of the RAM (memory) is a modest capacity for the fall / winter 2021 smartphone.Power users who play games may feel unsatisfactory.

It is a perfect one for those who use video services while using them in everyday life.It is one of the recommended units to maximize the communication service that is 5G at 5G.
