Sharp launched Aquos Crystal With 5-Inch Edge-to-Edge Display
Sharp on Tuesday launched the Aquos Crystal smartphone, which will be exclusively sold via Sprint in the US at $239.99.
The phone aims to bring Sharp’s TV technology to smartphones to give the same picture clarity and sharpness. There’s no apparent ear piece sitting on top of the screen. Even the front camera is oddly placed at the bottom of the screen. The rest of the phone is made of plastic and has a dimpled back cover.
Yoshisuke Hasegawa, Executive Managing Officer of Sharp Corporation said -
“US consumers have long trusted the Sharp Aquos brand to deliver exceptional picture quality. We are thrilled to introduce the first smartphone from Sharp’s groundbreaking Aquos line of devices to be available in the US, with the launch of the Aquos Crystal Smartphone in the U.S. and Japan. The already successful Aquos brand is taking another step forward among US consumers by adding the Crystal smartphone, which marries innovative technology with a vibrant display, as customers have come to expect from Sharp Aquos products.”
