The Sharp Aquos Crystal went official in Japan in mid-August and was due to launch on Sprint two weeks later, but due to some delays it is only now making its way to the US shores. Boost Mobile is getting the mid-range smartphone today for $149.99 sans contract. Sprint is offering the Aquos Crystal via its Easy Pay service with no initial down payment for 24 payments of $10. The carrier will also offer the phone off-contract for $149.99 starting October 21. The Sharp Aquos Crystal offers a 5" 720p panel, Snapdragon 400 with a quad-core 1.2GHz processor, 1.5GB of RAM, 8GB of storage and a 2,040mAh battery. It does pack a Harmon Kardon-branded sound package with Clari-Fi and LiveStage tech. The phone runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat out of the box and features an 8MP snapper with LED as well as a 1.2MP camera for selfies. We are yet to learn if Sharp plans to release its latest smartphones to markets outside the US and Japan. Source |...
