"AQUOS R8 pro" announced! 1-inch image sensor, 14ch spectrum sensor, ring heat dissipation, special specification with digital camera filter

　Sharp officially announced "AQUOS R8 pro".

　The era of being chosen for "somewhat high-end" is over, and we are entering an era of being chosen with a clear will. Sharp responded with a model with its own technology that allows you to fully enjoy your hobby, and this time as well. AQUOS R8 pro is treated as a direct successor to R7.

　The image sensor is the 47.2-megapixel Sony IMX989, and the lens is the Leica-affiliated SUMMICRON lens. In this work, a new 14ch spectrum sensor is installed in order to obtain light recognition ability approaching that of the human eye for accurate color expression. It claims to achieve accurate color expression by judging 600 types of light sources.

　The evolution of the AI ​​engine makes subject determination more precise. Judging by dividing daily meals and sweets. Realizes image quality that looks delicious.　It distinguishes subtle differences between sunrise and sunset, and expresses it with appropriate image quality and color temperature.　A special mode is prepared for the starry sky. It is said that a long exposure is performed firmly so that small stars that were removed as noise in image processing are not removed.

　Fireworks mode is also implemented. It is said that by simply applying HDR, the shadows tend to become brighter, but by properly darkening the shadows, it is possible to depict the fireworks beautifully.　Equipped with high-speed eye AF and tracking technology that matches pets, enabling accurate focusing.

　In addition, according to a web survey, there are quite a few users who take pictures of their pets and share them on SNS.　HDR that can be taken anytime. The high-speed RAW HDR processing speed is 40% faster, and as a benefit of this, high image quality is achieved even at 15 continuous shots per second.

　HDR doesn't work even with continuous shooting with conventional models, and the highlights are blown out, but with AQUOS R8 pro, each image is high quality. This makes me want to take a series of pictures.

　Digital camera filters can be used as they are! In order to expand the range of expression, it is compatible with various lens filters. It is said that they are getting development cooperation from lens filter manufacturers. It is said to be compatible with a wide variety of commercially available lens filters. Scheduled to appear from Sharp's certified accessory "DESIGN FOR AQUOS". Easily removable.

　For example, I used an ND filter in this example. If you want to pan the waterfall with a long shutter speed, you would have to "stop down" with a camera, but a smartphone camera can't do that, so it will be too bright. It is a piece realized by dimming there. AQUOS R8 pro can use abundant filter assets that bring out various possibilities even for dedicated cameras. This is an absolute fun one.

　A completely new heat dissipation design introduced from this work. How heat is induced and dissipated in the camera ring . A patent has been applied for.

　In fact, the two main heat sources of a smartphone are the camera and the CPU. Therefore, Sharp focused on the close proximity of the CPU and the camera, and came up with this idea. Adopting aluminum material with high heat dissipation, it also contributes to decorativeness. The place where the eyes are attached is sharp.

　The camera is also a heat source, but it is the SoC that generates the most heat. A high-performance CPU and CPU control technology that suppresses heat generation are also introduced.

　As a result of these efforts, it is said that the surface temperature has been reduced to a maximum of 8 degrees Celsius, the amount of heat generated has been reduced by about 30%, and the performance of the camera shooting has been doubled and the game performance has been sustained up to 3 times.

　The display is equipped with Pro IGZO OLED. It supports 1 billion colors, peak brightness of 2000nit, smooth energy-saving 1-240Hz variable drive.　In the conventional blue light cut mode (relax view), the screen turned yellowish, but this time, by developing a new OLED material, the blue light is suppressed by 50% without setting the color of the screen as it is. It is said that there is. Demonstration of shooting the screen with a filter that allows blue to pass through.　Since the wavelength is shifted and suppressed, it is said that the expression "blue light" cut "is not used.

　It supports Dolby Vision and also supports Light sense, which adjusts the image quality optimally according to the brightness of the surroundings. The speaker is inherited from AQUOS R7. Other specifications are as follows.

　The release date is after July 2023 for DOCOMO and after early July 2023 for SOFTBANK
