Sharp Aquos Crystal review

 

Its intriguing design makes the Sharp Aquos Crystal a true standout in a world full of look-a-like smartphones. It's just too bad Sharp compromised on the specs.

Overall, the Sprint exclusive Aquos Crystal looks like a powerful, mid-range Android phone. Even though it may not have the most high-end specs available, it’s still a nice device.

Sharp AQUOS Crystal review: mid-range brains meet striking looks

 

Pop quiz, hotshot: When's the last time you saw a Sharp phone in the United States? The Sharp FX from years back? Maybe the FX Plus? If you're anything l

Striking bezel-less screen ; Decent performer ; Above-average battery life ; Can be had for a low price

Both cameras are mediocre ; Lots of bloatware ; Exclusive to Sprint and its MVNOs

The AQUOS Crystal is Sharp's first phone to land in the US in ages, and it's a looker thanks to that amazing screen design. It isn't just handsome, though: The Snapdragon 400 ticking away inside gives it enough oomph to keep up with most people's daily...

Sharp Aquos Crystal review: Bezel-less design saves it from obscurity

 

The Aquos Crystal for Boost Mobile would be an altogether unmemorable phone if it wasn't for its compelling edgeless design.

Boost Mobile's Sharp Aquos Crystal has an affordable price tag, a decent camera, and above all, a bold bezel-less design.

You can't remove the Crystal's battery, and its in-ear audio quality is mediocre with calls sounding hollow and thin.

Don't fret about the unremarkable features -- the Sharp Aquos Crystal is a great buy with a compelling edgeless display that renders it unlike any phone currently on the market.

At last, the mobile consumer pipe-dream to have an edge-to-edge display handset isn't so elusive anymore, and when it was announced, the Aquos Crystal made waves for its compelling design. But beyond its interesting aesthetic, the device is distinctly...

Sharp Aquos Crystal (Boost Mobile)

 

The Sharp Aquos Crystal is a great-looking budget phone, but its performance doesn't measure up to its looks.

Beautiful. Huge screen for the size. Good Internet speeds. Great for movie playback.

Poor call quality. Very limited internal storage for apps.

Comparisons and Conclusions You aren't going to find a prettier $149 prepaid phone than the Sharp Aquos Crystal, that's for sure. It turns heads. And if you primarily watch videos, play games, and send messages rather than talking, you'll enjoy the...

Sharp Aquos Crystal Smartphone Review

 

A sharp edge. The term "edge-to-edge" has now become a common marketing ploy to advertise most any portable with a display, but Sharp have taken the term one step further. We find out why the Aquos Crystal is the 2015 CES Innovation Awards Honoree with...

Unique and attractive design, Respectable chassis quality, MicroSD support up to 128 GB, Acceptable system performance, Bright IPS display, Small for a 5-inch smartphone, Wi-Fi calling, Very inexpensive

Average camera quality, Low maximum volume with static, Small 8 GB SSD, No official GSM model in the U.S., WLAN range could be longer, No NFC or 802.11ac, non-removable battery

The display and design are the heart of any smartphone as they have a significant influence on user impression. This is what the Aquos Crystal does best since its avant-garde appearance is guaranteed to capture the attention of users who are out...

Mini review: Sharp Aquos Crystal on Boost Mobile

 

With its innovative bezel-free display, the Sharp Aquos Crystal makes up for its shortcomings with a forward-thinking design and an affordable price tag Sharp has long been a company synonymous with its LCD panels, so its no surprise that its first...

Two years ago, the Sharp Aquos Crystal would have been a no-brainer for just about any postpaid customer. Boost's model, priced at $150 without a contract on plans starting at $35 per month is a downright steal, but today, it's no longer the only, or...

Review: Sharp Aquos Crystal for Boost Mobile

 

Sharp has delivered an interesting handset in the Aquos Crystal, which features a 5-inch screen with practically no surrounding bezel. This futuristic-looking smartphone aims to trounce other mid-range contenders on Sprint's pre-paid Boost Mobile. Does...
