Features, Performance, and Reviews for the AQUOS PHONE 104SH SoftBank 16GB

The camera function of AQUOS PHONE 104SH SoftBank 16GB

The main camera of the "AQUOS PHONE 104SH SoftBank 16GB" has a capacity of 12.1MP pixels, and is adequate for normal use. But some users may feel dissatisfied with the picture quality.

The "AQUOS PHONE 104SH SoftBank 16GB" comes equipped with a 0.3MP pixel front-facing camera, which is very low resolution. If you aren't particular about your videos or photos, it might be fine, but otherwise, we recommend a smartphone at least one tier higher.

The battery performance of AQUOS PHONE 104SH SoftBank 16GB

The battery of the "AQUOS PHONE 104SH SoftBank 16GB" has a capacity of 1520.0mAh, which is rather low. Compared to other smartphones, the battery life of the "AQUOS PHONE 104SH SoftBank 16GB" is not very good. It's okay if you're just using it for calls and the occasional bit of browsing, but if you're going to browse for extended periods, play games or watch videos, you want a reserve battery pack.

AQUOS PHONE 104SH SoftBank 16GB 's size

The "AQUOS PHONE 104SH SoftBank 16GB" is 65.0mm wide, 129.0mm tall, and 9.0mm thick. At this size, a man with large hands would be able to operate it comfortably with one hand, but it may feel a bit large for a woman with small hands. In the case of the "AQUOS PHONE 104SH SoftBank 16GB", it weighs about 126.0g. The weight is such that it's hardly noticeable even when using one-handed. However, some people may find it tiring to use for long periods.

Both the size and weight of the "AQUOS PHONE 104SH SoftBank 16GB" make it easy to hold in your hand and are unlikely to cause any trouble when you use it normally.

AQUOS PHONE 104SH SoftBank 16GB 's screen

The "AQUOS PHONE 104SH SoftBank 16GB" has a 4.5inch screen. The iPhone X has a big screen, which very likely won't ever trouble you. Just be aware that it's not a very good size for writing long blocks of text.

The screen of the "AQUOS PHONE 104SH SoftBank 16GB" is very clear, so you'll likely have no complaints on that front. However, you should be cautious about viewing things in 4k definition.

The CPU performance of AQUOS PHONE 104SH SoftBank 16GB

The processing performance of the "AQUOS PHONE 104SH SoftBank 16GB" is quite low at 1.5GHz×2(2.0-cores), and you may find minor issues even while browsing the internet or Twitter.

The "AQUOS PHONE 104SH SoftBank 16GB" only has 1.0GB of RAM, which is fairly low. The RAM is regularly insufficient, so operation gets unstable and jerky even when using apps that are not resource intensive.

In rating the "AQUOS PHONE 104SH SoftBank 16GB"'s overall operational speed, it ranks at the low end of smartphones. It will lag and feel sluggish even during normal use. In most cases, users will feel the performance to be lacking.

AQUOS PHONE 104SH SoftBank 16GB 's storage capacity

Overall assessment of AQUOS PHONE 104SH SoftBank 16GB

The "AQUOS PHONE 104SH SoftBank 16GB"'s performance level is that of a budget smartphone. It's a bit too weak to use as a main smartphone, so if possible you should consider something slightly more powerful.
