Military-grade phones designed by Miyake Design – SHARP AQUOS R9 and wish 4

Priding itself for its exceptional multimedia experiences, the AQUOS R9 boasts superb performance while the AQUOS wish4 boasts a durable built, lengthy battery life – reliable for everyday use.

Both devices are designed by Miyake Design – with these particular designs centred around lifestyle, simplicity, sustainability & “O-MO-TE-NA-SHI” Culture.

AQUOS R9

Pairing the high-performance Snapdragon® 7+ Gen 3 Mobile Platform processor with 12GB of RAM ensures smooth operation for the most demanding apps like games and videos. Keeping the device cool is an advanced vapour chamber cooling system – a first for AQUOS smartphones, which circulates liquid and vapour internally to efficiently dissipate heat during high loads.

The camera boasts an Optical Image Stabiliser (OIS) to improve footage clarity, alongside autofocus and various video functions such as Cinematic Mode and Night Video Mode for bright night-time videos.

To showcase the vivid results, the AQUOS R9 comes with a 6.5 inch Pro IGZO OLED display which delivers a refresh rate of up to 240Hz and a peak brightness of 1,500 nits. To complete the media experience, the device features the largest box of stereo speakers in the AQUOS series.

This device, in particular, meets military standards for waterproofing, dust resistance and shock resistance, ensuring reliable performance in various environments. While staying sturdy, the AQUOS R9 intelligently summarises voice messages into succinct texts – ideal for busy professionals.

AQUOS wish4

Positioned as a pocket-friendly, entry-level choice for users, the AQUOS wish4 features a similar aesthetic appeal and military grading as the AQUOS R9. The front comes with a robust 6.6-inch reinforced glass display for shatter protection.

Having a 5,000-mAh battery results in a lengthy battery life – more time for users to capture appealing footage on the 50 megapixel camera. Supporting the camera module is the AQUOS ProPix lite image quality engine, which is responsible for producing clear night scenes and portraits, while features like AI Auto and Phase-Difference AF enhances focus in dark environments.

The AQUOS R9 and wish4 is currently available at SHARP CocoroLife estore, Shopee, Lazada, and selected retailers island-wide – priced at $1099 (12GB + 256GB) & $269 (6GB + 128GB) respectively.
