I heard its HISENSE rebaged but with worse quality control

It's like they will produce a dab radio with great display but terrible sound

Bought a sharp and returned it. Terrible build quality with buggy menu system and slow processor. But good sound

Thanks

They should give it to you for free. 😁 List price Euro 299 but only Android nougat/Android 7 androidauthority.com/sharp-phones-europe-lineup-899921/ Would have bought if it had Android 9. Android 10 or Q is already out.

This is using an old outdated chipset launched in 2016 - hence the lowish price..

4BGB10 for the reduced price, you don't need the email. Thanks

I didn't do anything..just received the email after leaving it in the basket where it was showing the full price . No code needed

How do you make them send the email? Voted hot for Sharp. What is the code if you already bought yours?

Good price for what you're getting. Heat from me.

I bought the 32" (that's the size I needed for the spare room) for £169 and am very pleased with it. A good picture and good sound, so heat from me.

Why? I am not interested in the smart aspect as such as I use IPTV but the 40” in particular seems pretty decent price for a spare room tv?

Voted cold

Just be aware no itv or my5 hub apps.

Yeah. Had sharp tv. Here In the UK The model you had to put coins in for it to work. Anyone remember theses days? Sharps been in the UK for along time I'm remembering 1980s. Early Sharp was so big it was Manchester Uniteds main sponsor for years. Too

It's not a Turkish delight. That's the real McCoy, not a rebranded vestal. Sharp corporation is big in Asia/north America.

I don't like sharp. Told its Turkish crap

Here it is, a proper Sharp, not that Vestal rubbish.

Would 8k be better? Can't find any tho

Battery of Sharp Aquos S2 (basically a C10 clone) is more than enough for almost two days with average usage:

Battery is so bad that you'd need to charge it twice a day.....

Dealbuster

:( Battery 2700mAh

Customs could be added to the price

Anyone got their phone yet. Still waiting here

Ha!

Only 7 behind the Samsung S10 then.

Does this need installing ROMs and stuff (in Chinese?) or is it ready to use from the box

No Band 20 on Banggood version, Beware! 2G: GSM: B2(1900)/B3(1800)/B5(850)/B8(900) 3G: WCDMA: B1(2100)/B2(1900)/B5(850)/B8(900) CDMA: BC0(800) 4G: FDD-LTE: B1(2100)/B3(1800)/B4(1700/2100)/B5(850)/ B7(2600)/B8(900)/B12(700)/B17(700)/B28(700) TDD-LTE: B34(2000)/B38(2600)/B39(1900)/B40(2300)/B41(2500)

Hmm... HK Gold way as well, one of the better sellers on aliexpress

Are we positive it doesn't have B20? AliExpress have got it available immediately for £113 incl. delivery (with coupon 'aliexpress19215' bringing it down to possibly £109) and it states B20 in the specs. Hmmm...

It's worth noting, that if a chinese ROM is installed on the phone (billingual English - Chinese), then there is no Google Play certification. Even if the retailer has flashed/installed Google Play store, being able to install apps throught it, it doesn't mean the device is Google Play certified. This means that the Google Pay app cannot utilize NFC. You could use NFC (as far ar contactless payments are concerned) only with banking apps that support it and afaik only Barclays has an in-app NFC solution. Another workaround would be flashing Magisk and masking the lack of Google Play certification, but this requires that the device is bootleader unlocked(-able) and there is a custom recovery (TWRP) developed for this specific device. So if NFC payments via Google Pay is your top priority make sure the ROM of this phone is Global AND that the device is Google Play certified. Can those that own the S2 verify that their device is Google Play certified and can FULLY use Google Pay for NFC payments? EDIT: By the BangGood listing, it is definitely a Global version with a Global multi-language ROM, so chances are that it is Google Play certified. It isn't 100% though, users of S2 should confirm this. The camera was the strong point of S2, and it seems to be the case with S3 as well. f1.75 aperture, dual pixel PDAF , and 1.4micro-m pixels is not a photography feature set you can easily find in a £300 midranger, yet alone on a £110 phone. If only the SoC was SD636! The SD630 relies on weak Cortex A-53 cores, not to mention it's the same SoC in last year's S2. Sufficient for 90% of users out there, but the added oomph from the Kryo 260 big cores is easily felt and always welcome. Lack of FDD- LTE Band 20 (800 MHz) is a bummer

I'm typing of my Sharp Aquos S2. Really great phone for what I paid and their OS is very close to stock Android. NFC, great camera, only issue is lack of B20 which I've had issues with my phone calls not connecting where I live. Reception is terrible anyway here!

Remote control problems as well

Slow software and crashes sometimes.

Sound quality on my Sharp is appalling!

Asda are doing the 50inch sharp 4k HDR for only 20 quid more

Just took mine back to Costco. Keeps freezing randomly. Useless.

Left it to someone else. Never again. Bloody awful telly.

Also if you go through tcb you'll get absolutely nothing off so a win win situation (y)

Nice work scarecrow!

A bit of a update one of my Hisense tvs went down ahhh ( we have 3) no receipt although it was from argos on pay in 12months type of deal . Argos bent over backwards to provide a sales receipt but we could not prove which one it was for 3 hinsense 1 lg so I ring hisense and say it is over a year old but it is under your 2 year guarantee ? ahh but you did not register it in time ?. so I point out a manufacturer sticker which suggested it was assembled 18 months ago . In a nutshell they collected within 48 hours impeccable service fixed it and returned it and tested it in front of the Mrs and left me a fantastic tv box then Hisense rang and said they would offer another 2 years from dater of repair on my tv BLOODY FANTASTIC

What is the refresh rate and processor rate on these, any idea guys?? And is it a direct back-light or Edge lit screen??

£1000 for a tele. No way

Buy a expensive QLED and you will see the difference! Sharp used to be great.

I can’t see a mention of HDR10 anywhere. Will this support HDR on ps4 pro?

Good price as 40 inch 4K tv’s are difficult to find at good prices

Thanks!

£199- Reviewed Jan 2019

Sharp - used to to sponsor the rags - wouldn't have one in the house if you paid me ;-)

But what price was it reviewed at?

Not rated very higly by Which Pros: Brilliant at cleaning, eco program is efficient Cons: Not great at drying, noisy, loading and unloading is a faff, lack of program choice

Link not working

Great deal.
