Leica, Sharp and mobile camera development technology cooperation. The first bullet is "AQUOS R6"

The AQUOS R6 is made up of a single camera in the multi-eye smartphone market, promoting "the true optical blur of non-computing processing" by using larger sensors.

In addition, in addition to using the laser autofocus function of the iToF sensor, as a unique computing processing of the smartphone, the "Super Night" of continuous shot synthesis, the "AI automatic" of automatic scene recognition, It also includes "multi-frame noise reduction" that does not damage the resolution.

The monitor uses the company's IGZO technology and is equipped with a "Pro IGZO OLED" display (6.6 WUXGA+) that combines the advantages of IGZO LCD and OLED. The refresh rate is driven by 1 Hz~240 Hz. Scrolling becomes smooth under high-speed drive, on the other hand, when the screen stops, it becomes a 1 Hz driver (rewritten once per second), which brings energy-saving effect. The 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is configured in the screen, which also corresponds to the authentication of 2 fingers with higher security.
