How far can you use it?Sharp's entry male "AQUOS WISH" that can be bought in the lower 20,000 yen range

■ Serialization / Junya Ishino's Gachi Review

　Following the restrictions on terminal purchase assistance under the revision of the Telecommunications Business Law and the 3G stops approaching, the entry model of the 20,000 yen range is attracting attention.If the number of number portability and the transition from 3G mobile phones, the price may be close to 0 yen, and the number of hits is increasing.The new entry model market is a sharp AQUOS R series and AQUOS SENSE series.

　"AQUOS WISH", which was launched by the company in January through au, UQ Mobile, Y -Mobile, and Rakuten Mobile, is an entry model that reduced the specifications in the first half of the 20,000 yen range.It is a feature of trying to respond to SDGs, and is trying to use playback plastic on the body.Compared to the previous AQUOS series, the function is modest, and it can be said that it is a simple terminal.Among the 20,000 yen terminals, there are 4G models, and AQUOS WISH supports 5G properly.

　On the other hand, when you hear the smartphone in the lower 20,000 yen range, you may be worried about its performance.While high -end models exceed 100,000 yen across the board, how far can you use the entry model that can be purchased at a price of about 20 %?In order to answer such a question, I actually used the au version of AQUOS WISH and checked the functions and specifications of the model.

AQUOS WISH developed as a new series of Sharp.The so -called entry model, the price is 20,000 yen

Elegant summary design and good touch of playback plastic

　AQUOS WISH, which uses playback plastic for the body to launch SDGs to the entire surface, has a unique texture.It has a softness peculiar to plastic, and has a slightly rough processing, so it gives a gentle and gentle impression.In recent smartphones, it is common to use materials such as metal and glass for more than middle range models.There is a risk that the plastic body looks cheap, but the material and processing are paid a negative image.

The body is used for the environment to consider the environment.With a soft touch, I can't feel cheap

　The pale body, which can be said to be the earth color, also matches the trends such as apparel.Although there is no "glittering feeling" like a high -end model, it may be recommended for those who are not good at such gadget terminals.It can be said that it is a taste that is likely to be accepted regardless of age or gender for young and old because of the lack of habit.Because the corners of the body are rounded, the hits to the hand are soft, and it is a point that you can evaluate that you do not get tired even if you have a long time.

　The buttons are all summarized on the right side.From the top, the volume key, assistant key, power key, and fingerprint sensor are in the order.It is common for Android smartphones that have multiple keys, but AQUOS WISH is a little more.This is because the power key and the fingerprint sensor are not integrated, and some terminals have assistant keys that are not installed.It is a pity that there are many physical keys, so it has a little difficulty in appearance.

The key is lined up on the right side

　It would be fine if it looked only, but it could be a hindrance to the operation, such as pressing the power key and assistant key.If you get used to it, the number of times may decrease, but in the case of the author, one of the reasons is that the assistant key is easy to hit the thumb when holding it with your right hand.If you use a fingerprint sensor, you can turn on the screen after unlocking simply by touching, but pressing a different button between the screen lighting and turned off, the UI (user interface) is complicated.I can say it.

There was an assistant key between the power key and the volume key, and sometimes mistakenly pressed it.

　Due to the cost, it may have been difficult to integrate fingerprint sensors to the power key, but the number of keys has further increased by the existence of assistant keys.Google Assistant is a useful feature, but it can be called by audio and screen swiping, so the significance of physical keys is questionable.Assistant keys are often mounted on smartphones of Japanese manufacturers, but I feel that they want to see off the installation just because the operation becomes complicated.

The response is not good, but the communication performance is high with 5G compatible

　The chipset is Snapdragon 480 5g for entry model, the memory (RAM) is 4GB, and the specifications are minimal.Therefore, it is important to note that it does not move crispy, like a terminal that is more than a middle range model.It is not a level that is too late to use, but the scrolling is caught, the keyboard is displayed late, it takes time to start up the app, the user who uses a terminal of middle range model is more than a model.There is a possibility of feeling stress.

A score measured by Geekbench 5.Both CPUs and GPUs are lower

　It is relatively smooth for browsing and SNS, but be careful when there are many images.It can be said that it is an unsuitable device to play games.The real intention is that people who are used to smartphones are a bit tough.However, if you make a phone call or write an email, you can use it to some extent comfortably if you do not use it for heavy.Although it is a smartphone, it may be enough for users who use it as feature phones.

　The resolution of the display was low as HD+(720 x 1520 dots) in the entry model, but I did not care much about this.When operating a smartphone, the dots such as letters do not look rough to release their face from the screen to some extent.Although the liquid crystal is adopted, the color is vivid and looks good.This is probably because of Sharp's unique technology, "rich color technology mobile".

You can see dots at this point, but smartphones are often used separately from the face, so I don't care much about the resolution.

　From a performance point of view, it can be evaluated that the communication method corresponds to 5G.There may be few situations where rendering takes time during browsing, or you may be able to experience the high speed, but the download of the application and the loading of videos are fast in 5G areas.In particular, KDDI and SoftBank, which release AQUOS WISH, are rapidly expanding 5g areas of frequency diverted from 4G.In urban areas, there will be many opportunities to see 5G icons.

　By the way, the following speed test is measured in a 5G area diverted from au 4G.The result is inferior to the 5G -only frequency band, which can exceed 1Gbps, but if you have this much speed, it is enough for everyday use.Few people may buy AQUOS WISH for 5G, but considering that they will continue to be used in a few years, only 4G support is not good.In that regard, with AQUOS WISH, the specifications around the communication are close to the latest, so it seems that you can continue to use it with confidence.

Excessive expectations for the camera are forbidden, the price entry model

　Many smartphones are expecting camera performance, but because of the entry model, excessive expectations are forbidden.AQUOS WISH also has a low camera specifications and has a single camera and has 13 million pixels.For smartphones with middle range or more, ordinary ultra -wide -angle cameras and high -end models that are familiar with high -end models are not compatible, and there is little room for shooting.

It is a single camera and does not have ultra -wide -angle and telephoto cameras

　Unlike other AQUOS, the camera app uses Google's "Camera Go", so the usability is slightly different.The resolution is not bad because the number of pixels is sufficient, but the image quality is inferior compared to the terminal of the middle range model or higher, such as a bright place in the scenery photo, and noise on the blue sky.。The difference will come out in places with low light, such as indoors.Snapshots are enough, but it is better to consider it different from a device with excellent camera function.

If you take it outdoors, it will be a reasonable photo, but the indoors are slightly darker.Not very strong in the dark place

　What I was worried about was the UI.It is common for recent smartphones to call night mode automatically during night view shooting.Many terminals have modes that match the scene, such as cooking mode.On the other hand, AQUOS WISH has such functions.Although it has "night mode" and "HDR", it is not possible to automatically switch the mode with AI.There is no manual mode to manually adjust the exposure and shutter speed, and the shooting function is simple.

The night mode is a specification that switches on and off with the button at the top of the screen.

　In terms of specifications, I am a little worried about the small storage (ROM).It is common in 64GB and entry model, but users can use it in the initial state and is over 40GB.If you have a lot of photos and videos, you tend to fill.AQUOS WISH is compatible with microSD cards, so users with a lot of storage should be prepared separately.

The built -in storage is 64GB.Because of the entry model, the capacity is slightly small

　On the other hand, despite the terminal of this price range, it supports Osaifu -Keitai, waterproof and dustproof.Aside from communication such as telephone and email, cashless payment is considered to be one of the essential functions.As we have seen so far, the performance is price, but if you do not need the terminal performance, you can withstand practical use.It seems that users who are trying to make a smartphone debut can be evaluated as one that can be obtained without worrying about the heart.
