The second iteration of Sharp's low-end smartphone series "wish" has now been announced, the AQUOS wish2, with sales slated to begin in late June 2022. The wish2 is released by Y!mobile, docomo, au, UQ Mobile.

The AQUOS wish2 has very little difference from the Simple Smartphone 6 (A201SH), released a few month prior.

The Aquos wish2 is powered by the same Snapdragon 695 5G processor, which is advertised as about 33% more powerful than the Snapdragon 480 5G on the 2021 Aquos wish. The mobile platform also offers a 19% boots in graphics performance. The wish2 has the same 4 GB of RAM (LPDDR4X) and 64 GB of built-in storage (UFS 2.1), which can be expanded using microSDXC cards of up to 1 TB capacity.

The Aquos wish2 also has the same 5.7-inch screen with a resolution of 720 x 1520 px – which also happens to be the same as the one found on last year's Aquos wish.

Minor differences exist in the camera department: the AQUOS wish2 comes with a single CMOS camera sensor that will do for the unpretentious user: a 13-megapixel sensor with aperture size f/2.0, wide-angle 78° (26 mm equivalent). The Simple Smartphone 6 has a 12 MP sensor with aperture of f/2.0 but it features share reduction. And an additional 1.9 MP depth sensor.

The front-facing camera is identical: 8 MP, aperture size of f/2.0, wide-angle sensor like the one on the Simple Smartphone 6.

But while the Simple Smartphone 6 has a 4000 mAh battery, the wish2 has a smaller, 3730 mAh power source.

Notably, the wish2 has water-ingress protection level of IPX5–IPX7, which is lower than the Simple Smartphone's IPX5–IPX8. But it has the highest level of dust-resistance and shock-resistance.

Docomo's version of Aquos wish2, the SH-51C, offers the sensor-based functionality called Suguden/Suguap, which allows users to perform basic operations without having to tap the screen. For example, to make a call, you just need to shake the phone and hold it to your ear; to answer a call, hold the phone to your ear; to end a call, place the phone face-down on a flat surface; and to reject an incoming call and mute the ringer, place the phone face-down on a flat surface. This functionality is only available on Docomo models.

Bluetooth version: 5.1, tethering for up to 15 devices, Osaifu-Keitai (Felica/NFC), Geolocation (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS (MICHIBIKI)).

The Aquos wish2 is water-resistant (IPX5–IPX7), dust-resistant (IP6X), and MIL-STD-810H compliant.

It weighs 162 grams and measures 147 x 71 x 8.9 mm.

All carriers offers the AQUOS wish2 in Olive Green, Ivory, and Charcoal, except Docomo, which had a special selection (read below).
