The SH631W is a mid-range smartphone made by Sharp and Foxconn that starts selling in Taiwan and Russia in October 2012. It features a 4.5-inch qHD display with a resolution of 540 × 960 pixels, while underneath is a dual-core MediaTek MT6577 processor based on ARM Cortex-A9 cores and clocked at 1 GHz. It comes with 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of built-in storage, with microSDHC memory cards of up to 32 GB supported.

The 512 MB of RAM might easily prove insufficient, particularly with Sharp's rather feature-rich Feel UX interface running on top of Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich. Feel UX provides a heavily customised home screen with separate areas for applications, widgets and shortcuts, as well as a number of other personalisation options.

The main camera is an 8-megapixel CMOS unit with autofocus, HDR photography, smile detection and burst shooting. It can record 1280 × 720 HD video, while a 0.3-megapixel VGA camera is provided on the front.

The SH631W should be able to work just about anywhere in the world, supporting GSM at 850/900/1800/1900 MHz and W-CDMA at 900/2100 MHz. Also included are Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, GPS with A-GPS and an FM radio with RDS. A USB 2.0 port and a standard 3.5 mm audio jack are also provided.

It comes with a 1650 mAh lithium-ion battery, measures 127.6 × 66 × 9.5 mm and weighs just 117 grams.

The SH631W is available in black and runs Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich with Sharp's Feel UX user interface.
