Comparisons Featuring Sharp Pi

Short Review

  • The Sharp Pi features a compact design with a 5.2-inch IPS LCD display, offering a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels and a pixel density of approximately 282 ppi.
  • Its performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6737M chipset, a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU, and 2GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with demanding applications.
  • The camera system includes a 13 MP rear camera with a secondary 2 MP depth sensor, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while an 8 MP front camera serves for selfies.
  • The battery capacity is 3000 mAh, providing moderate longevity without fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 7.0 Nougat, the software experience is straightforward, though it lacks updates to newer versions.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and a microUSB 2.0 port, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device is available in white/gold and black color options, though specific build materials and weight details are not provided.
  • Notably, it lacks features such as stereo speakers and a headphone jack.
  • Overall, the Sharp Pi is a basic smartphone suitable for users with minimal requirements.
