Sharp, a major Japanese electronics major is setting its footprint on the Eu smartphones market. The revelation was first made earlier last year at the IFA conference, at that time Sharp president assured us its company will announce a number of smartphones for the market in February this year.Ā February has come and gone, we were however assured once more it will now launch its first set of smartphones in the region in June, we even had some leaked documents pointing to a number of smartphones it is preparing for the market.
Today, we have words that the company is gearing up to announce a number of devices for the market, but do not be too excited as there won’t be any surprises. We have a couple of unverified details on 3 sharp smartphones that will be arriving the European shores soon.
First off is the Sharp C10, a rebadged Sharp Aquos S2 smartphone that will be sold only in the EU. It is virtually the same as the Sharp Aquos S2 announced back in 2017, but with a somewhat smaller battery capacity. The device looks a lot more like the Essential phone bearing a 5.5″ 2k display that encircles the phone’s camera cutout. It is almost completely bezel-free but for the button bezel which houses the home button.Ā SourceĀ says the Sharp B10 will retail in the EU at ā¬399. See the basic specs below;
