SHARP Aquos R6 on my hands.

Hello,

just to share with you the last smartphone I purchased, well known on DPreview as 2nd (not the first)! with 1 inc sensor and Leica engineering: the SHARP Aquos R6.

Here you have a recap of its features:

And some more pictures of the devices also with other "whites" eheh.

And... here it is:

And I did a quick video but it is in my native language, Italian, you can watch it here:

So I guess now... your question is: what's about the camera? Well... no so good at all. The SHARP software science in the camera is far from any of the latest smartphones (I have almost all them).

I did some shots...

Looks like an awesome phone.  Nothing is like that 1020 however, best overall phone I have ever owned.  I miss mine dearly.

Hello,

thanks for your comment! Indeed and also the 808! I have it in Italy... Next flagship Nokia for November 2021 😝

PS I have also the Nokia 9 Pureview, crazy for bokeh

Awesome.  I was wondering what the Android based Nokia's were like.  I love the 1020.  The best overall phone hardware from a feel and photo perspective I have ever owned.  I am contemplating moving back to windows 10 mobile.  ha ha.

Re: SHARP Aquos R6 on my hands.

A bit too much of noise reduction but luckily no oversharping. So I still quite like the images, they have a bit of an analog feel. If they can reduce noise reduction a little it mat be very nice.

My biggest question is: is 19 mm good for general photography or is it too wide?

Re: SHARP Aquos R6 on my hands.

Hello to everyone and thanks to be here!

I do agree about the camera aperture adopted: it is very strange also shooting in 16:9 the form factor I usually use.

I did a new shot for the DNG, it is available only in Pro mode and it's a DNG format of around 38MB.

It's the VIP of the moment eheh

and here you can download the DNG: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ydg85ru9uht29vy/DSC_0136.dng?dl=0

Is that SOOC?  Is it using the ultra wide camera?  if so to both,  it mops up my iphone 11.
