True color, the lens next to it is a 1.9-megapixel distance sensor, supports object tracking, human eye focusing, and can perform high-speed HDR continuous shooting like the SONY Xperia 1 IV. It is a pity that there is no telephoto end and no super wide-angle end. As for the selfie lens, the effective pixels are 12.6 million, the aperture is F2.3, and the equivalent focal length is 27mm.
The specifications of AQUOS R8 Pro are very high, equipped with Qualcomm S8 Gen2 processor, 12GB LPDDR5X, 256GB UFS 4.0 version is expected to be released, support 5G eSIM, support up to 1TB microSD card expansion, provide 3.5mm headphone jack, the whole machine supports IPX5 / IPX8 waterproof, IP6X dustproof, and adopt the latest Bluetooth 5.3, WiFi 6, battery capacity 5000mAh.
As for the AQUOS R8, which is a relatively popular flagship machine, it uses a Leica hektor lens group, equipped with a 50-megapixel main lens, a sensor size of 1/55 inches, an aperture of F1.9, an equivalent focal length of 23mm, and a super wide-angle end of 1300 The 10,000-pixel, 120-degree lens has an aperture of F2.3, and the focal length is 15mm. It also supports high-speed HDR shooting. The self-timer lens is 8 million pixels, with an equivalent focal length of 26mm, and a maximum angle of 78 degrees.
AQUOS R8 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen2 processor, 8GB LPDDR5X, 256GB UFS 4.0, supports microSDXC expansion, battery capacity 4,570mAh, supports NFC, Bluetooth 5.3, WiFi 6, IPX5/IPX8 waterproof, IP6X dustproof, the whole machine provides the US military standard MIL- STD-810G certification, the screen supports fingerprint recognition and unlocking, and is also compatible with face recognition and unlocking. There are two types of sky blue and cream white.
