“With the AQUOS R9 Pro, SHARP delivers a smartphone that goes beyond typical mobile photography, offering a tool that empowers users to capture, create, and connect with unparalleled quality,” said Woo Keat Chew, Managing Director of Sharp Singapore. “We are excited to provide users with a device that meets both their professional and personal needs, with the reliability and craftsmanship they expect from SHARP.”
Professional photography and immersive visuals
The AQUOS R9 Pro is equipped with a sophisticated triple-camera system, featuring standard, wide-angle, and telephoto lenses, each with 50.3MP sensors. The main camera’s large 1/0.98-inch sensor excels in low-light conditions, ensuring sharp, bright images even in dim settings. The telephoto lens supports 2.8x optical zoom and up to 20x hybrid zoom for capturing distant subjects with clarity.
Adding to its professional photography credentials is a dedicated shutter button, allowing precise control and a tactile, camera-like shooting experience. The device also supports Dolby Vision, providing lifelike colours and contrast for professional-quality videos.
The visual experience is further enhanced by a 6.7-inch QHD+ Pro IGZO OLED display. This screen offers vibrant colours, high brightness, and a refresh rate of up to 240Hz, ensuring smooth playback and vivid content review. Dual stereo speakers deliver powerful, immersive audio, complementing the stunning visuals and making the AQUOS R9 Pro an ideal multimedia device.
High performance and robust design
Powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 Mobile Platform, the AQUOS R9 Pro ensures fast, reliable performance, even during demanding tasks. The device includes 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage, offering ample space for high-resolution photos, videos, and other large files. A 5,000mAh battery with wireless charging support provides extended usage, catering to active lifestyles.
To maintain peak performance, the AQUOS R9 Pro features advanced heat dissipation technology. An internal vapour chamber and heat diffusion through the camera ring help keep the device cool during intensive activities such as gaming and 4K video recording.
