Earlier this year, Japanese electronics maker, Sharp launched the AQUOS Zero2. It was announced in Japan back in September when it made headlines for featuring a 240Hz display, making it a world’s first. Today, the company has officially launched the device in Taiwan, though it’s still not available for purchase.
Sharp’s product manager said in an interview that the Sharp AQUOS Zero2 is still awaiting certification in Taiwan, so the device won’t be going on sale there yet. Instead, the device will predictably be released in Japan in the first quarter of 2020. After that, Sharp will push to have the AQUOS Zero2 go on sale in Taiwan as quickly as possible.
