Last year, it was revealed that Sharp would be making its entry into Europe in Q2 2018. The info was actually confirmed at IFA 2017 by the company’s CEO, Jeng-Wu Tai. While Sharp has not revealed when the first device will launch, its product lineup for the new market has leaked online complete with specs and price.
