The AQUOS wish5s builds on the AQUOS wish5, the first smartphone series to feature a vibration-activated SOS security function, alongside an AI-powered call assistant and US military-grade toughness. The smartphone retains the distinctive “free curve” design supervised by the Miyake Design studio, which has been carried over from the previous model due to its strong reception. The softly-rounded form fits comfortably in the hand and is now paired with a refined metallic texture, available in Navy and Copper. 

The AQUOS wish5s is equipped with an approximately 6.6" display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, delivering a fluid viewing experience. Paired with a large 5,000 mAh battery and an Intelligent Charge function to optimise charging behaviour, it supports extended streaming, browsing and gaming throughout the day. 

Users can enjoy AI-powered imaging capabilities that enhance everyday photography. An approximately 50.1-megapixel rear camera, powered by SHARP’s proprietary ProPix lite engine, enables clear and vivid captures of night scenes and portraits. It automatically detects scenes and selects the optimal shooting mode, while AI Shadow Removal reduces unwanted shadows in close-up shots such as food and helps minimise reflections when capturing images through glass. 

In addition, the smartphone has built-in 8way audio technology, delivering a more immersive listening experience when used with wireless or over-ear headphones. By simulating sound from multiple directions, users can enjoy a wider and more realistic soundstage.

The AQUOS wish5s further supports IPX9* waterproof performance. It is capable of withstanding high temperatures of up to 80°C and high-pressure water exposure. It also complies with US Department of Defense procurement standards, MIL-STD-810H, for waterproof, dustproof and shock-resistant performance, including resistance to drops on concrete**. 

A vibration-activated SOS security alert triggers a loud alarm and automatically contacts pre-registered contacts with location information when the device is shaken, even when stored in a bag. In addition, the AI-powered call assistant helps detect and block suspicious calls.

It features up to 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of ROM, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor. MicroSD cards of up to 2 TB are supported. 

Details 

The AQUOS wish5s is available exclusively via SHARP Singapore’s online channels, including sharp.com.sg, SHARP Lazada and SHARP Shopee, at a recommended retail price (RRP) of S$399.

*IPX5 means that using a nozzle with an inner diameter of 6.3mm, water can be sprayed from all directions at a rate of 12.5 l per minute from a distance of approximately 3 m for at least 3 minutes, while maintaining its functionality as a communication device. 

IPX8 indicates that when a mobile phone is submerged in tap water at room temperature in still water at a depth of 1.5
m and left for about 30 minutes, it retains its functionality as a communication device upon retrieval. 

IPX9 means that even after being subjected to high-pressure jets of water at high temperatures (80°C) from four different angles (0°, 30°, 60°, 90°) for 30 seconds each (for a total of 2 minutes), the phone retains its functionality as a device.

**An ISTA 2A drop test was conducted from a height of 1.22 m onto a concrete surface at 26 different angles. This does not guarantee that the product is free from damage or malfunction under all impacts.
