Sharp launches budget smartphone Android One S3

Smartphone manufacturer Sharp has released its latest budget-friendly device named Android One S3 that has uncanny similarity with the Apple iPhone 5C.

Android One S3 has 5-inch LCD display that has 1080p resolution. With a Snapdragon 430 processor, the smartphone runs on 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage.

It has a battery of 2,700mAh which is pretty decent for the overall specs. The phone charges over USB-C which is not usual in this price range.

One of the best things about it is that it will be shipped with Android Oreo and receive regular software updates. Also, One S3 is part of Google’s Android One program and will be free from unwanted bloatware.

The Sharp smartphone is rated as IP68 for water and dust resistance, which means it’s well protected and will not break or malfunction easily. The smartphone is currently only Japan and may take a few weeks to appear in the markets worldwide.
