Announced in November 2011, the AQUOS Phone IS13SH is Sharp's flagship in AU's Winter 2011 collection.
The IS13SH comes with an impressive 4.2-inch main display with the now standard for Japanese smart phones resolution of 540 x 960 pixels and a 2.1-inch sub display located below the main one. This is the so called "memory display" that we saw on the IS03SH last year which will memorise the most frequently used shortcuts and display them together with missed calls info, the time, etc. without the user having to light up the main screen for such basic needs.
The IS13SH display is not 3D capable in contrast the majority of new phones released on the Japanese market.
This AQUOS Phone runs Android 2.3 and is powered by an MSM8655 Snapdragon S2 processor clocked 1.4 GHz with 512 MB of RAM and 2.8 GB of on-board memory.
The IS013SH has an 8.05 MP auto-focus, electronic image stabilisation camera that can also shoot HD video.
