A brand that many people thought was out of date in the global smartphone market has now launched a 240Hz screen, Leica camera and IP69 waterproof. Is Sharp quietly creating a flagship capable of making the Samsung Galaxy S26 or Xiaomi 17T wary?

On June 16, 2026, according to information posted by the techupdate34 account on Threads, Sharp officially introduced the AQUOS R11 in the Japanese market. This is the company's latest flagship model, focusing strongly on display experience, photography and durability instead of racing for super-fast charging like many Chinese competitors.

The most notable point lies in the 6.5-inch flat OLED screen that supports a scan frequency of up to 240Hz. While most high-end smartphones today only stop at 120Hz or 144Hz, Sharp continues to maintain its traditional advantage in screen technology.

Battery Monitor Chip Device
Sharp AQUOS R11 Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 OLED 240Hz 5100mAh
Samsung Galaxy S26 Snapdragon 8 Elite OLED 120Hz 5000mAh
Xiaomi 17T Dimensity 9500 OLED 144Hz 7000mAh
vivo X500 Pro Dimensity 9600 LTPO 144Hz 6500mAh

Sharp does not have the largest battery or the fastest charging technology, but it stands out with its 240Hz screen and the strongest water resistance on the market.

Water resistance standards are rarely seen on smartphones

AQUOS R11 reaches IPX5, IPX8 and IPX9 simultaneously. This means the machine can withstand high pressure water, hot water jets and many significantly harsher conditions than conventional IP68 standards.

This is the traditional strength of Japanese smartphones, which are designed for demanding usage environments.

Quick review

Sharp AQUOS R11 is not the phone with the most powerful configuration in 2026, but it possesses many unique technologies such as a 240Hz OLED screen, Leica camera, 14-channel color sensor and IP69 waterproof standard. This is a model aimed at users who like different experiences instead of chasing the race of super fast charging or super large batteries.

If sold officially in Vietnam at a price of about 29 million VND, are you willing to choose Sharp AQUOS R11 instead of Samsung Galaxy S26 or Xiaomi 17T?
