Sharp has added a new phone to its Aquos series – the Sharp Aquos V. Sharp's latest offering is a mid-range phone that is powered by the ageing Snapdragon 835 SoC and comes equipped with dual rear cameras. The Sharp Aquos V offers OIS (optical image stabilisation) support for the main rear camera and EIS (electronic image stabilisation) support for the front camera to negate movements and capture jitter-free videos and blur-free photos. The phone features a 5.9-inch full-HD+ display with thick bezels at the top and bottom, and sports a physical rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Sharp Aquos V comes in a single 6GB + 64GB storage configuration that is priced at TWD 6,990 (roughly Rs. 16,400) and has a sole Starry Black colour option. The phone is now up for grabs in Taiwan starting today, but there is no word on its availability in the international markets, including India.
