The Aquos Pad SH-06F is the latest tablet on DoCoMo and part of the Summer 2014 collection. It is a member of the EDGEST family too, offering thin bezel and a large display occupying 81% of the tablet's surface. The display size is 7 inches, like in the preceding SH-08E, but Sharp have managed to reduce it both in size: from 190 x 107 mm (H x W) on the SH-08E (72% screen area) to 175 x 106 mm on the SH-06F. The weight has also been reduced: from 288 grams to 233 grams.

Like the AQUOS ZETA SH-04F, this AQUOS Pad SH-06F features a “Hexa Grip” shape that, together with the metal rim, makes the device easier to hold and less likely to slip out of your hands.

The screen resolution is WUXGA or 1920 x 1200 pixels, IGZO display technology + PureLED backlight system for crispier and more natural colour reproduction. The addition of a 4,200 mAh battery should guarantee several days of single-charge use of the Aquos Pad SH-06F.

To guarantee superb watching and listening experience, a DTS Sound engine has been deployed.

The hardware is no different from the rest of Sharp's latest models on DoCoMo, SoftBank and AU: Underneath the hood we find the familiar quad-core Snapdragon MSM8974AB clocked at 2.3 GHz, 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of built-in storage, and support for microSDXC cards of up to 128 GB.

The main camera is 8 megapixels and the rear one is 2.1 MP.

To meet office needs, the SH-06F can be equipped with an external Bluetooth keyboard – Kingsoft Office for Android package is pre-installed.

Connectivity is ensured by an LTE module (quad-band: 2 GHz/1.7 GHz/1.5 GHz/800 MHz) for up to 150 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload speeds, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and USB (tethering possible via all three), OneSeg and FullSeg TV, Mobile Wallet + NFC, but no InfraRed, and no NOTTV support.

Naturally, the tablet is waterproof. Unfortunately, it is not dust-proof.

The Aquos Pad SH-06F is only offered in white.
