Sharp has launched the flagship Aquos R5G in Taiwan. This is the first time the Japanese company is launching the model since it was first unveiled in Japan in February this year. The 5G phone is on offer for NT 34,990 (~$1,187) and will be available in black and white colours. The first sale is scheduled to commence on July 6.
The Aquos R5G, just like Sharp is known for, adopts unique design. It features not one but two notches on its massive 6.5-inch IPS display. The display has an aspect ratio of 19.8:9, supports a 120Hz refresh rate and has QHD+ resolution. One of the notches is at the top, a waterdrop notch which holds the selfie camera. There is a second notch at the bottom edge which holds the phone’s fingerprint sensor. The display has a 19.8:9 aspect ratio and is protected by Gorilla Glass 6. The phone comes with an IP68 waterproof rating and weighs 189g.
The Aquos R5G is powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 865 flagship SoC paired with 12GB LPDDR5RAM and there is 256GB of UFS 3.0 flash storage. The phone runs on Android 10 while the light is kept on by a disappointing 3,730mAh battery. 
At the rear, the phone features a quad-camera setup consisting of a 12MP main shooter with OIS, a 48MP ultrawide module and a 12MP telephoto cam which also boasts OIS. The fourth cutout is for the ToF module. The phone is also capable of capturing 8K videos from the ultra-wide module.
