Sharp Aquos Phone SH930W - First 1080p Smartphone in the Philippines

The Sharp Aquos Phone SH930W which sports a large 5-inch Full HD display with a 1080 x 1920 pixel resolution is now available in the Philippines. The Sharp IGZO display has an amazing 441 pixel per inch resolution. 

The phone runs on a Qualcomm 8260A chipset with a 1.5GHz dual core Krait, backed by 2 GB of RAM. This will mean that the Sharp Aquos Phone SH930W will do a great job at traditional smartphone tasks like communications and multimedia consumption. The Qualcomm 8260A chipset unfortunately has the Adreno 225 graphics chips, which when mated to a qHD (540 x 960) or HD (720 x 1280) display does a decent job of staying within range of Samsung Mali 400 and Nvidia's ULP graphics. Mated to a Full HD display, you can expect 3D performance to drop. Best to wait for GSMArena's benchmarks, but I would not run out and pick up one of these  if I was a hardcore gamer.

The phone comes Android 4.1, Jelly Bean out of the box. The rest of the specs include 32GB internal storage, 8 MP primary camera, a 2 MP front camera, and a 2100 mAh battery. 

The price. The price is a surprisingly reasonable Php19,200.
