With Sharp Aquos 507SH, Android One comes to the first division – Leak

                 

Many of land luso had – in distant times – A Sharp mobile phone. The Japanese factory practically disappeared from European lands but the sun rising country has maintained a good pace of interesting releases that rarely come here. Characterized by water resistance and simple but elegant design. Often go under the radar, but the Sharp Aquos 507SH caught our attention.

It is that this is the first instance of an Android One smartphone in a major market. The Android One initiative, recall, is a partnership of some brands with Google, which aims at providing affordable smartphones to developing countries, with an Android virtually source, with a key feature: updates directly from Google. These last two characteristics make Android One very attractive for emerging in price ranges that are usually completely forgotten by manufacturers for updates and support.

In Portugal, the Android One is represented by the very balanced BQ Aquaris A4 .5, but we may well say that the initiative lacks some flare for superior features ranges. This is because a great extent, the Android One initiative is an almost complete failure with regard to price: Chinese numerous brands flooded emerging markets also more capable and less expensive devices. But a chapter continues to maintain the appeal of Android One, and that’s the updates directly from Google without going through intermediaries.

This is the Sharp Aquos 507SH comes in, it does not seem at all a Android One thought to be economic. The design is friendly with cheerful colors and a 2.5D display, in addition to maintaining the main feature of the Sharp:. Certification IP58 waterproof and dust

The screen of 5.5 inches (the ideal size for some) has HD resolution 720 × 1280 and IGZO technology with Gorilla Glass protection 4. the processor is clearly mid-range, but relatively well loved, including the Snapdragon 617 octa-core MSM8952 with 2GB of RAM at its disposal. Storage side, we start with 16GB, expandable through microSD.

As for the cameras, a combination of 13MP with flash and 5MP front is more than enough.

Sharp Aquos 507SH account yet with a 3,100mAh battery and 4G LTE connectivity, VoLTE, NFC, GPS, and Bluetooth 4.2.

the best is to reach with Android Marshmallow and have guaranteed the upgrade to Android in Nougat early 2017. Being an Android one device, expected to cost close to € 200, which makes it downright delicious. A great shame, therefore, that is hardly seen on the European continent.

For our part, what interests us is to see that Google is open to trying new partnerships with the initiative Android One, and we can possibly have devices best specifications for very desirable prices. Will cross your fingers.
