Upcoming Android Phones 2014: Water-Resistant Aquos Smartphone From Sharp Has A 5.2" Display But Smaller Frame Than Current Flagships, Specs Include Snapdragon 800, 16MP Rear Shooter, 12MP Front Cam

Upcoming Android phones 2014: Sharp is not exactly known as a famous smartphone manufacturer, but whenever someone talks about impressive displays and LCD panels, the company is among the best in the industry. 

And in a new smartphone released by the company, the main focus is the unique technology that its display has. 

According to a report by GSM Arena, Sharp has recently announced its new Aquos smartphone, and it is a flagship device. Dubbed as the Xx 302Sh, the smartphone is among the best in the industry when it comes to display to body ratio, which means that it has extremely thin bezels at the top, bottom, and sides of the screen. 

Even with a 5.2-inch display, the Sharp Aquos Xx 302Sh is still more compact than current flagships in the market today, and that is a great accomplishment for the Japanese manufacturer, and a sure head turner for gadget enthusiasts. 

On board the Android device are decent specs which are more than enough for Android fans. Specs include a 5.2-inch IGZO display which uses a glass that is much thinner than the usual display materials. This makes the smartphone thinner than Samsung's Galaxy S5, HTC One (M8), and even Sony's Xperia Z2.

Also on board is a Snapdragon 800 chipset, 32GB of internal memory with microSD card slot, a 2,600mAh battery, and 2GB of RAM.

The device also packs an IP57 rating, which means it is water and dust resistant at a particular amount of exposure. 

At the back is a 16MP camera packed with Sharp's fast auto-focus sensor which it claims to focus on shots at about half a second, and a 12MP front camera that is among the best in the industry today. 

Unfortunately, availability details for the time is being is only Japan, where the Sharp Aquos Xx 302Sh will be priced at about $670.
