Sharp Corporation introduces the smartphone AQUOS wish5 as a global model*2. It will be released in Japan, Taiwan, and Singapore from late June this year. This model aims to achieve usability that is "just right" for a wide range of users.

This device features a security alert function that is activated by vibration, a first for smartphones. Simply shaking the device will trigger a loud alarm and automatically call pre-registered contacts to inform them of the emergency. It will also send location information simultaneously. This function responds even when the smartphone is stored in a bag or backpack, ensuring immediate notifications in case of emergencies. Additionally, an AI-powered phone assistant function is included, which analyzes call content to block suspicious calls, providing enhanced peace of mind.

Furthermore, AQUOS wish5 is equipped with a large display of approximately 6.6-inch size. With 120-Hz high-speed driving support and improved brightness, the display provides smoother and brighter visibility. The device is powered by a large 5,000mAh battery, allowing users to enjoy videos and games without concern. Additionally, it features newly equipped IPX9*3 waterproof performance, capable of withstanding high temperatures of 80°C and high-pressure water jets, making it suitable for everyday use as well as outdoor activities.

The body comes in five color variations that express the beauty of Japan: "MISORA", "NADESHIKO", "WAKABA", "YUKI", and "SUMI". Approximately 60% of the casing is made from recycled plastic, reflecting environmental considerations.

Main Features

1. Rich in safety features, including security alert functionality and an AI-powered phone assistant

The device features a security alert function that activates a loud alarm simply by shaking it, a first for smartphones. It responds to vibrations even when stored in a bag or backpack, ensuring immediate notifications in case of emergencies. When the alert is triggered, it automatically dials pre-registered contacts and sends SMS with location information, enabling users to send an SOS to remote family and friends.

Additionally, it is equipped with an AI-powered phone assistant function. The AI analyzes call content based on past cases of fraud to block suspicious calls. Furthermore, it converts messages left on voicemail into text, allowing users to review the content later. This functionality provides enhanced peace of mind in case of emergencies.



2. Equipped with approximately 6.6-inch 120-Hz high-speed display and IPX9 waterproof performance

The device features a large display in approximately 6.6-inch size. With a refresh rate of 120-Hz and improved brightness, it offers a smoother and brighter visual experience. It is powered by a massive 5,000mAh battery, allowing users to enjoy videos and gaming. Additionally, the unique "Intelligent Charge" function stops charging when the battery level reaches approximately 90%, switching to direct power supply to minimize battery degradation.

The high-quality camera boasts approximately 50.1 megapixels and is equipped with Sharp's proprietary image processing engine, "ProPix lite", enabling clear and vivid captures of night scenes and portraits.

The device also complies with the U.S. Department of Defense's procurement standards, "MIL-STD-810H", for waterproof, dustproof, and shock-resistant performance*4, including resistance to drops on concrete. With the newly incorporated IPX9 waterproof rating, it can withstand high temperatures of 80°C and high-pressure water jets, making it suitable for everyday use as well as outdoor activities without worry.



*4 The device has undergone testing in accordance with 18 criteria of the U.S. Department of Defense's procurement standards (MIL-STD-810H), which include waterproofing (immersion), waterproofing (rain), dust resistance, dust (windblown), shock resistance (drop), vibration resistance, humidity resistance, high-temperature storage (fixed), high-temperature storage (variable), high-temperature operation (fixed), high-temperature operation (variable), low-temperature operation, low-temperature storage, temperature durability (thermal shock), low-pressure storage, low-pressure operation, icing (condensation), and icing (freezing). The performance of this product has been confirmed under testing conditions; however, it does not guarantee the functionality of all features in every actual use scenario. Furthermore, it does not ensure protection against all impacts without damage or failure.


3. Available in five color variations, with approximately 60% of the casing made from recycled plastic

The device is available in five color variations that express the beauty of Japan: "MISORA", "NADESHIKO", "WAKABA", "YUKI", and "SUMI", allowing users to choose their preferred model.

Approximately 60% of the casing is made from recycled plastic, while the side keys are crafted from 100% recycled aluminum. The paint used contains low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), minimizing its affect to air pollution.
