SHARP Smartphones: Debuts!

SHARP Z2: From SHARP Singapore web

[NEW GADGET] This one comes from a Media Press Release; SHARP smartphones finally makes its debut in Singapore! Commtiva Technology, a leading distributor that specializes in wireless communications products, today announces its strategic partnership with SHARP to launch SHARP Mobile in Southeast Asia.

It's great to see SHARP back in the game, especially after the Foxconn buy over. SHARP has long been a recognised Japanese brand among the Japanese Consumer Electronic dominance. It's heartening to see Foxconn keeping it around. Long may it continue.

This time the company is introducing two new mid-tier smartphones – SHARP Z2 and SHARP MS1.

Essentially, Z2 is a more expensive option at S$399. A more mainstream design with full metal chassis. As well better technical specifications, see table below. We are talking about faster processor, fingerprint sensor, slightly bigger battery, fast charging, type-C USB port with Z2 compared with MS1.

SHARP Z2 and MS1: Specifications

The MS1's biggest selling point is probably its 3D curved Gorilla Glass rear. Available with Hanayome White and Pure Pink, MS1 is marketed as a Selfie specialist, likely to be target the student market.

Of the two devices, I think SHARP Z2 certainly looks like a good deal against competition at S$399, up against ASUS Zenfone 3 and Samsung J7 Prime for exactly the same selling price.

SHARP Z2 and MS1 will be launching this Saturday 29th October for S$399 and S$299 respectively from M1, M1 exclusive distributors, Challenger, and authorized retailers including Lazada.
