Sharp Corporation introduces the high-end smartphone AQUOS R10 as a global model*1. Sales will commence sequentially in Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, and Indonesia beginning in early July this year.

The AQUOS R10 is equipped with a Pro IGZO OLED display that boasts a peak brightness of 3,000 nits, which is 1.5 times brighter than previous models*2. The advancement in light expression greatly enhances the contrast between bright and dark areas, rendering intricate textures realistically. Thanks to the implementation of "Virtual HDR", even content that does not support HDR in video streaming services is displayed brightly and vividly*3. Additionally, the newly developed full-metal box speaker delivers powerful and rich stereo sound in combination with spatial audio technology "Dolby Atmos®". The AQUOS R10 provides a viewing experience that feels "more immersive than watching live".

The camera, supervised by Leica Camera AG (headquarters: Wetzlar, Germany), features a new image sensor of 1/1.55 inches. The reduction of noise in darker areas enhances the brightness of light, allowing for more beautiful night photography. This model incorporates various popular features from the flagship model AQUOS R9 pro. The 14-channel spectral sensor measures ambient light, enabling photography in diverse lighting environments with color accuracy that closely resembles reality. Moreover, AI image processing technology allows for a level of detail exceeding that of RAW data, significantly improving detail and tonal gradation when capturing images in zoom or night mode.

The generative AI-based call support feature has also been enhanced. It automatically extracts keywords from conversations and retains them as notes. If there is a "date and time" noted, it can automatically suggest adding the event to a calendar application, simplifying the scheduling process.

■ Outstanding Features

1. Equipped with a Pro IGZO OLED display with a peak brightness of 3,000 nits and a full-metal box speaker

2. Features a camera supervised by Leica Camera AG, featuring a new image sensor that reduces noise in darker areas

3. Supports a function for generative AI to automatically extract keywords during conversations and retain them as notes

■ Main Features

1. Equipped with a Pro IGZO OLED display with a peak brightness of 3,000 nits and a full-metal box speaker

The Pro IGZO OLED display features variable driving rates from 1 to 240-Hz*4. With a high peak brightness of 3,000 nits, the contrast between bright and dark portions is significantly improved, making sunlit landscapes and night scenes appear exceptionally realistic. Non-HDR content from video streaming services can also be enjoyed in brighter and more vibrant visuals through "Virtual HDR". When the video is not displayed in full-screen mode, only the currently playing segment is brightened, reducing overall glare on the screen.

The device features large speaker boxes mounted at both the top and bottom. An all-metal upper speaker box enhances sound pressure and delivers powerful audio. It also supports the spatial audio technology "Dolby Atmos®", providing an immersive sound experience. New acoustic technology regulates frequency response according to volume, making high and low frequencies easily audible even at lower volume levels. Sound output through headphones can also be transformed into spatial audio using "8Way Audio" technology.

2. Features a camera supervised by Leica Camera AG, featuring a new image sensor that reduces noise in darker areas

The camera is supervised by Leica Camera AG, featuring a new image sensor that measures 1/1.55 inches. Innovative image processing technology reduces noise in darker areas, making night scenes with stars and lights appear even more beautiful. The device is equipped with a 14-channel spectral sensor that allows for capturing natural colors in challenging indoor lighting conditions.

AI-driven image processing technology significantly enhances detail and tonal gradation in zoom and night modes. Furthermore, an AI feature that removes unwanted shadows now supports not only food photography but also text in documents.

Videos can be shot with vibrant colors using "Dolby Vision®"*5. An AI feature can predict and track the movements of subjects during video recording, ensuring autofocus continues to function even if the subject temporarily hides behind an object*6.

3. Supports a function for generative AI to automatically extract keywords during conversations and retain them as notes

During calls, generative AI can automatically extract keywords and retain them as notes. After the call, these keywords are presented in a user-friendly list. Additionally, if a note includes a "date and time", it can propose adding the schedule to a calendar application, simplifying event registration.

■ Other Features

New Heat Dissipation Structure

A new heat dissipation structure has been adopted, attaching a high-thermal-conductive copper block between the vapor chamber and CPU. This ensures efficient heat distribution from the CPU, maintaining smooth performance during prolonged video recording or high-load scenarios. It comes equipped with a high-performance CPU and 12 GB of large-capacity RAM, allowing for enjoyable operation of high-definition games.

Features "free curve" design

Features a striking "free curve" design supervised by "miyake design", established by designer Kazushige Miyake. It retains the striking "free curve" design that surrounds the camera, which is neither circular nor square, and has been well-received since the previous model (AQUOS R9). High-quality glass material with a glossy feel is used, making the device aesthetically pleasing and comfortable to fit within various living environments and attire.

Water Resistance, Dustproof, and Shock Resistance

In addition to waterproof and dustproof features, it meets the shock resistance standard of "MIL-STD-810G" compliance*7, ensuring durability against sudden rain or accidental drops.
