Sharp Aquos Crystal 2 Revealed

Sharp announced their AQUOS Crystal smartphone officially in August last year, and barely a full year in existence, there is already a sequel announced. Needless to say, the sequel to this handset will follow a numerical format, where it is known as the Sharp AQUOS Crystal 2, and will sport a screen size that is larger – and hopefully, easier on the eyes, too, at 5.2”, not to mention the inclusion of basic waterproofing as well as mobile wallet support thrown into the mix. The Sharp AQUOS Crystal 2 is set to roll out on Softbank in Japan later in the middle of July, and it remains to be seen whether the handset will eventually arrive Stateside or not.

With a more generous S-PureLED display, your eyes will definitely appreciate it, although the resolution count remains at 720p which will place this in the mid-range scheme of things. The chassis has received a boost in terms of dimensions at 136mm x 71mm x 11mm as it tips the scales at 154 grams, which means there is not much bezel in the first place.

The main camera will be an 8MP shooter, while the front-facing 2.1MP camera has been relocated to be below the display. The AQUOS Crystal 2 has received a boost in terms of RAM however at 2GB and the internal storage has been bumped up to 16GB. [Press Release]
