Sharp has introduced a smartphone with the largest sensor in the world

Increasing the size of sensors has become an important and meaningful improvement for the cameras of their smartphones in recent years. The largest sensor on the current market is the flagship Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra. According to the portal GSMArena but it has now been surpassed by the smartphone introduced today Sharp Aquos R6 with 1-inch camera sensor.

The largest camera sensor in a smartphone on the market today

If anyone claims that this is the first Android smartphone with a 1-inch camera sensor, they are wrong. Already in 2014, it had a Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1 smartphone, which used the Android 4.4 system. Since then, however, no such model has appeared on the market and the aforementioned Panasonic has not been sold for several years.

The optics (7P) for the primary sensor of the Sharp Aquos R6 camera were supplied by the German company Leica. Its brightness is f / 1.9 and focal length is 19 millimeters. The resolution of the primary sensor is 20 megapixels. It has a 12.6-megapixel ToF sensor. Laser focusing is used for focusing in low light conditions. Unfortunately, stabilization is only electronic (EIS).

The smartphone will also surprise with the top Pro IGZO OLED display

Aquos R6 is also the first smartphone with a Pro IGZO OLED display. Its refresh rate can vary dynamically from 1 Hz to 240 Hz. The diagonal of the curved display is 6.67 inches and the resolution is 2,730 x 1,260 pixels. In the middle of its upper part is a hole for a 12-megapixel selfie camera. The brightness of the display is up to 2000 rivets and the contrast is 20,000,000: 1.

Android 11 is run by a 5 nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal memory. The glass body has water resistance IPX8 certification. The battery has a capacity of 5000 mAh. The novelty will start selling to Japanese operators in black and white for an unspecified price. Unfortunately, accessibility in Europe is unlikely.
