Conclusion
After testing out the AQUOS for almost 2 weeks. I find that this phone has some special advantages over other phones. There’s a virtual HDR which brightens up your instagram and videos which makes the scene shine. When it comes to the camera, the camera was able to take pretty good photos even under low lights. The AI enhancement. Also actually helped in the low light especially in the AI powered enhancements for low light food document photography.
There is also Dolby Vision video and also AI tracking. In the audio department, there is also a stereo full metal box speakers so is the sound is pretty basic. I would say. There’s also Dolby Atmos. There’s also a 8-way audio support for spatial sound via headphones.
When it comes to the AI features. I think something that might interest, a lot of people is the AI call assistant, which actually summarises calls and extract dates and set reminders. The AQUOS R10 uses the Snapdragon 7 plus gen 3 processor, which is quite powerful. Browsing is simply smooth. It also has advanced cooling system with copper heat block and vapour chamber this will ensure heat is not trapped inside the phone.
Just like the other AQUOS phones, it comes with IPX5, IPX8 and IPX 6X water and dust resistance. And it’s also military standard, certified.
In Conclusion, I find that the AQUOS R10 is indeed a phone that is made for people. It’s not a phone that is only AI powered, but it has very good features that makes life so much easier. e.g. taking a screen shot by touching the corners of the screen.
Call alerts and features like the shadow removal. I think these are very important features that we would like to see in most phones these days. It seems that sharp is the only one that has done this so far. My only complaint would be the lacking of the 50 frames per second recording.
Patches or security updates should be provided every month or end is quarterly. It will be better if they can extend it to 7 years of security updates.
