The Aquos V6 series was announced in late February 2022 in Indonesia for the local market. Despite the jump from the original Aquos V to V6, there were no V1–V5 models in between. The original Aquos V was launched in 2019 and was sold in several markets, including Indonesia, Taiwan and Europe.
The current V6 series comprises the Aquos V6 and the slightly beefed-up V6 Plus, which share the same hardware platform and body but differ in memory, storage and cameras.
These are affordable low-to-mid-range devices priced at approximately USD 135 for the V6 and USD 174 for the V6 Plus – surprisingly cheap thanks to being made entirely in Indonesia.
Both versions have a 6.52" VNotch display with a resolution of 720 x 1600 px. The display type is New Mobile ASV, with a refresh rate of 60 Hz, and is protected using 2.5D glass.
The processor powering the Aquos V6 series is a Mediatek Helio G25 (MT6762V/CB). This CPU has 8 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz. The amount of RAM is 3 GB in the V6 and 4 GB in the V6 Plus, while built-in storage is 32 GB and 64 GB respectively. Both versions allow the storage to be expanded using MicroSDXC cards of up to 512 GB.
The camera setup is one of the more noticeable differences between the two versions (read below).
A major selling point for the Aquos V6 series is NFC, which seems to be rare in this device class.
The phone's body is made of polycarbonate. It measures 165.2 x 75.5 x 8.9 mm and weighs 190 grams.
Both versions offer dual-SIM standby. 4G, 3G and GSM connectivity is supported, but the range of frequencies is unspecified.
Wireless connectivity includes WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac and Bluetooth 5.0 with A2DP, LE, APTX HD and aptX Adaptive. Navigation is supported through dual-band A-GPS, GLONASS, BDS, GALILEO and QZSS.
A 3.5-mm audio jack is included.
The Aquos V6 and V6 Plus are available in Grey Sand and Deep Blue Sea colour options.
The AQUOS V6 / V6 Plus launched with Android 12 and do not appear to have received any OS upgrades.
