Sharp Electronics Indonesia has announced an upgraded version of their Aquos V6 phone released in February 2022. The new model's name is Aquos V6 5G IGA and, as the name suggests, it is 5G-enabled.

The IGA part of the name refers to the Japanese city of Iga, where ninja originated from. Here, it stands for speed – the 5G communication speed the phone now supports.

Little has changed in the new V6 5G version: the processor is now the MediaTek Dimensity 700, whereas the V6 and the V6 Plus relied on the MediaTek Helio G25. This CPU is octa-core, each core clocked at 2.2 GHz vs. 2.0 GHz on the earlier model.

Like the V6 Plus, the V6 5G has a 6.52" VNotch display with a resolution of 720 x 1612 px – but the refresh rate has now been increased to 90 Hz. The display is protected using 2.5D glass.

The amount of RAM remains unchanged: 4 GB, but internal storage has been increased to 128 GB (version 64 GB on the V6 Plus and 32 GB on the V6). microSDXC cards are supported – now up to 1 TB in storage capacity.

No change in the camera setup: both the Aquos V6 Plus and the new Aquos V6 5G are equipped with 3 rear cameras – a 50 MP standard camera, a 2 MP depth (ToF) camera, and a 2 MP macro camera.

The front-facing camera is 8 MP.

A major selling point for the entire Aquos V6 series remains NFC, which seems to be rare in this device class.

The phone's body is made of polycarbonate. It measures 164.46 x 75.4 x 8.99 mm and weighs 195 grams.

This Aquos V6 5G offers dual-SIM standby. 5G, 4G+, 3G and GSM connectivity is supported (see below for the frequency bands).

It supports WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.1, A2DP, LE, APTX HD, aptX Adaptive, and dual-band A-GPS, GLONASS, BDS, GALILEO, QZSS.

A 3.5-mm audio jack is included.

The Aquos V6 5G is available in black or purple.

This new version is less affordable than the V6 and V6 Plus (approx. USD 174) as it costs 3,499,000 rupees or ~226 USD. It is still made entirely in Indonesia, which accounts for the relatively low price.
