Sharp announces new product announcement for summer 2024 model on May 8th!The next flagship smartphone “AQUOS R9” and the next entry smartphone “AQUOS wish4” will be released

Details regarding the new products to be announced are unknown, but if things go as usual, it is likely that the next flagship smartphone “AQUOS R9” series and the next entry smartphone “AQUOS wish4” (both tentative names) will be unveiled. In last year’s “AQUOS R8” series, the higher-end model “AQUOS R8 pro” was also available, so this year’s “AQUOS R9 pro” (tentative name) is also expected.

Sharp has also developed the AQUOS brand for smartphones, and in recent years has released the high-end “R” series, the mid-range “sense” series, and the entry-level “wish” series approximately every year. The series is equipped with a 1-inch sensor camera supervised by Leica Camera (hereinafter referred to as Leica) starting with the AQUOS R6, which was released in 2021 as the company’s flagship smartphone.

On the other hand, the prices of flagship smartphones, including those of other companies, are rising year by year, and last year’s AQUOS R8 came in two models: the top model AQUOS R8 pro and the base model AQUOS R8. Therefore, if the next flagship smartphones go as planned, it is thought that AQUOS R9 pro and AQUOS R9 may be released as part of the AQUOS R9 series. As we have already introduced, a product that appears to be one of the AQUOS R9 series has been certified by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

It has been revealed that the product that passed this FCC is equipped with the same battery pack “UBATIA311AFN1” (manufactured by Murata Energy Device Wuxi) as the AQUOS R8 pro and “AQUOS R7”, and the certification information states that the battery capacity is 4870mAh ( 3.87V, 18.85Whr), but the published specifications for both AQUOS R8 pro and AQUOS R7 are 5000mAh, so if this product is officially announced, it is expected to be 5000mAh.

Also, according to the FCC certification information, the built-in memory (RAM) is Samsung Semiconductor’s “K3KL4L40DM-BGCT” (DRAM LPDDR5X) and Micron’s “MT62F1536M64D8CL-026” (DRAM LPDDR5). It also supports power supply (WPT) and Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE802.11ax compliant), and the document also shows an exploded view of the package, which shows that it is a long and narrow box, and the expanded view is intentionally drawn in black. Therefore, it seems possible that the actual package will also be a black-based box.
