This is the mid-range representative of the new SH82xxU series launched by Sharp China in September 2011.
The SH8288U comes with a 3.7-inch screen and a resolution of 800 x 480 px but unlike its bigger brother, the SH8298U, it hasn't got 3D capabilities.
On board we find the same high-power Qualcomm MSM8255 at 1 GHz, 512 MB of RAM and 2 GB of onboard storage (ROM).
The main camera uses an 8-megapixel CMOS sensor with auto focus and can shoot HD videos, while the inner camera is just 0.3 MP.
The OS is the traditional Dim Sum (Tapas) running on top of Android 2.3.
