“Southeast Asia has a large population with a high percentage of smartphone ownership. We discovered that there is a lot of diversity in user preference among smartphone users in the region, but interestingly, the needs of budget-conscious users have yet to be fully met,” said James Lowerence, Sales Director, Commtiva Technology. “Our partnership with SHARP is a natural alliance given our aligned visions towards catering to our customers’ individual needs. We want to provide this particular market with smartphones that showcase SHARP Mobile’s advanced flagship technology and unique features, yet packaged at a mid-tier price point.”

Its fast-charge technology allows the 3,000mAh battery to be charged up to 50 per cent4 in 30 minutes to maximize productivity.

Additionally, users can photograph fast moving objects swiftly and capture the perfect moment with its 16-megapixel Phase Detection Auto Focus Single lens.

Express yourself with ‘selfies’ using SHARP M1’s high-resolution 13-megapixel front and rear camera. It comes with an in-built back illuminated sensor, which enables photos taken at night to be just as sharp as those captured in normal lighting environments.

The SHARP M1 is elegantly designed with Japan DNA ID Design and features curved 3D Corning® Gorilla® glass for greater reflection of lights and shadows to enable users to capture perfect ‘selfie’ moments.


SHARP Mobile Brand on Facebook and Instagram
