Sharp, the Foxconn-owned company known for making electronic products, has a smartphone lineup. Today, along with the Sharp Aquos R7 flagship smartphone, it also launched the Sharp Aquos Wish 2 budget smartphone.

Both smartphones have been launched in the Japanese market. As the name itself indicates, the Sharp Aquos Wish 2 is a successor to the Aquos Wish, which was launched in December last year.

The smartphone features a 5.7-inch HD+ display with a 1520 x 720 pixels screen resolution. There are also thick bezels around the screen, especially the bottom bezel.

Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, coupled with 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 64GB of UFS 2.1 internal storage. There’s also support for expanding the storage capacity up to 1TB using a microSD card.

In the camera department, the phone has a 13-megapixel camera sensor on the back panel and an 8-megapixel snapper on the front side for taking selfies and video calling.

It runs the Android operating system out of the box with the company’s own custom user interface on top. The device is powered by a 3,730mAh battery and comes with support for PD 3.0 for fast charging.

The company has added that it has been considerate about environmental protection, and the Sharp Aquos Wish 2 smartphone is made using recycled materials. It says that 35 percent recycled plastic has been used for the shell.

The phone is rated to be waterproof and dustproof and is being offered in four color options — White, Gray, Blue, and Coral. It will be available for purchase in Japan from next month, but the pricing details remain unknown.
