AQUOS zero2
"AQUOS zero2" is the world's lightest smartphone with an OLED 4x display and 240Hz touch control, perfect for gaming. You can play games anytime, anywhere.
Let's take a closer look at what makes AQUOS zero2 so great!
World's lightest weight of 141g
Lightweight and high-strength magnesium alloy frame, plus a 25% smaller substrate. Even when immersed in a game for a long time, it can be used comfortably with less burden on the arms and palms.
High-speed OLED 4x speed & excellent touch performance 240Hz
While the normal drawing frequency is 60 times per second, AQUOS zero2 draws 120 times per second.
In addition, a black screen is inserted between each frame to further reduce after-images. This results in a high-speed display of 240 times per second, four times faster than the previous model.
Superior touch performance is essential to winning at games.
AQUOS zero2 detects touches at a rate of 240 times per second. This makes it possible to play rhythm games comfortably.
The combination of ultra-fast drive speed (4 times faster than conventional models) and 240 Hz touch performance reduces reaction latency by about 80%!
Ideal smartphone for gaming
By setting the game-specific menu of the AQUOS Convenience feature, you can prohibit in-game notifications, enable the game recording function, and also record exciting battle screens in real time. You can also search the game guide without interrupting the game.
With a fast processing CPU, large 8GB RAM, and UFS 3.0 256GB ROM with fast app launch, you can enjoy entertainment content as it is.
Heat dissipation design to withstand continuous play
To reduce the heat generated by the device, it is designed to spread the heat throughout and dissipate it efficiently.
In addition, by supporting parallel charging, the device can be comfortably played while charging.
High waterproof performance, even when exposed to water
Capless waterproof technology and dustproof rating (IP6X) allow use in kitchens, sinks, and bathrooms (IPX5 / 8).
It is truly an "anytime" device.
Easy to unlock
Fingerprint recognition is available on the bottom of the screen, and the entire screen can be used for fingerprint recognition.
The fastest way to unlock the device is also provided by the facial recognition function, which can be unlocked simply by looking at the screen.
Release date & price & how to purchase
The AQUOS zero2 will be released in Japan on January 31, 2020 and will be available on all three major carriers. It is currently available at an open price.
The SIM-free model is also available, and unlike the carrier version, it is DSDV-compatible and, like the carrier version, is equipped with FeliCa and supports mobile wallet.
The SIM-free model also supports three carrier bands, so you can purchase a SIM-free model and use an au-based low-cost SIM such as UQ Mobile or BIGLOBE Mobile, or you can use docomo/SoftBank-based nuro mobile or IIJmio to keep your fixed costs down. You can also use docomo/SoftBank's nuro mobile and IIJmio to reduce fixed costs.
