The reaction that Sharp receives from users is, " What smartphone is that?" The smartphone that users usually use are Smasung Galaxy or iPhone that is for sure. The newly launched Sharp Aquos Crystal is Sharp's first ever Android-powered smartphone in America. It is modern, refreshing and futuristic, but its also a no-contract and cheap smartphone.

The internal storage of the smartphone is limited to a slim 8GB and users can really and could only get 3.87GB since the operating system of Android and the pre-loaded carrier apps could take the other fifty percent. In the users' surprise, the pre-installed app could be uninstalled. That makes the phone not all bad news, there is also a microSD slot included hidden under the back cover which makes the memory expandable to 128 GB.

The Aquos Crystal is a chic smartphone that completely gets consumers to purchase it and have its spot in the market. Its insufficient bezel about three sides of display is an additional feature for one-handed function, it has a nice touch of Hardon-Kardon developed sound, if they can hear the difference, and its specs are enough for basic mobile computing uses but 3D gaming can't be played. But the ultimate frustrations are terrible, tinny-sounding and cameras Direct Wave, receiver technology and the truth is, they are just "yuck."

The tech firm decided to collaborate with Sprint, the fourth biggest U.S. provider of the wired 4G LTE coverage, and its prepaid stakeholders, Virgin Mobile and Boost Mobile, also restricted the potential of Aquos Crystal.

The smartphone costs almost $150.00 and not tied up on a contract with any mobile carrier, but Virgin Mobile and Sprint may get it later on. For a type of mobile like Aquos Crystal, it is a good deal, as long as the users would not care about shooting good quality images.
