Sharp is known for many firsts. The Japanese tech giant is still striving to be first in many regards from time to time. Today, the company has launched SHARP AQUOS zero6 as the world’s lightest 5G smartphone with a large battery and display.

The newly announced SHARP AQUOS zero6 measures 158 x 73 x 7.9mm in dimensions and weighs approximately 146g. Despite that, it is backed by a 4,010mAh battery.

For comparison, the iPhone 12 mini only weighs 135g but it has a tiny 2,227mAh battery. Similarly, the newer iPhone 13 mini has a slightly larger 2,438mAh battery and weighs 141g.

As far as the screen is concerned, the SHARP AQUOS zero6 sports a 6.4-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), a 240Hz refresh rate, and Gorilla Glass Victus protection. On the other hand, the iPhone mini models flaunt a smaller 5.4-inch FHD+ (2340 x 1080 pixels) OLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate and Ceramic Shield protection.

Further, the zero6 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G chipset paired with 8GB LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB UFS 2.2 storage. It houses a quad-camera setup on the back consisting of a 48MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide unit, an 8MP 2x telephoto shooter, and a ToF sensor. On the front, there’s a 12.6MP snapper inside the dewdrop notch.

On the connectivity front, the handset supports 5G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.1, dual-band GNSS, NFC with support for Osaifu-Keitai, and a USB Type-C port. Other features include Android 11, a MicroSD card slot (up to 1TB), an in-screen fingerprint sensor, and IP68 certification for dust and water resistance.

There’s no official word on the pricing yet but the phone is scheduled to go on for pre-order starting September 29 via Soft Bank in three color options – black, white, and purple.
