Sharp has shown off its skills making bezel-less smartphones with a number of Aquos devices, and the Japanese brand is continuing that with its new handset. Named the Aquos ZETA SH-03G, the smartphone has a barely there of screen to body ratio and pushes smartphone specs to their maximum.
Although it packs a larger screen, the barely noticeable bezel ensures that the Aquos ZETA is actually smaller than a Samsung Galaxy S6. That screen is a 5.5-inch 1080p display that comes with Sharp’s IGZO tech that keeps power consumption low by refreshing at a slower rate when a still image is displayed. The sizeable 3000 mAh battery should then be good for two days of use says the company.
The other specs are also very high end, including the 64-bit Snapdragon 810 (hopefully without overheating), 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage built in, a 13 megapixel (OIS) snapper on the rear that Sharp seems very happy with. The rear cam is interesting as it features wide f/1.9 aperture, a GR certified lens by Ricoh, and what Sharp claims sets records for slow motion video capture. It performs 480p at 210fps and interpolated to 2100fps, making it capable of slowing down to 30fps footage 70 times.
The dazzling hardware continues with DTS Dolby Surround audio, a rear fingerprint scanner, and a metal unibody to give it a premium feel. Android 5.0 Lollipop is running the show out of the box, and Sharp’s light touch on the software ensures a near stock experience. The Aquos ZETA is launching in Japan this month, but we sure hope Sharp rolls this out around the world too in due course.
