Singapore, 26 June 2025 – SHARP, the renowned leader in consumer technology, is proud to launch the AQUOS wish5, a thoughtfully designed smartphone that prioritises everyday safety and sustainability. Now available in Singapore, the wish5 is the first smartphone to feature a vibration-activated SOS security function, an AI-powered call assistant & US military grade toughness. With a smooth refresh rate of 120Hz display, durable waterproof resistance and a casing made out of approximately 60% of recycled plastic, the wish5 offers essential smart features that are intuitive, eco-friendly and built for life on the go.
“With safety, sustainability and usability at its core, the AQUOS wish5 brings meaningful technology to everyday life,” said Mr Woo Keat Chew, Managing Director of Sharp Singapore. “Beyond smart functionality, this model reflects our belief that technology should also be responsible. The use of recycled plastics in over half of the phone’s casing and low-VOC paint are intentional steps toward reducing environmental impact. We are proud to offer a device that not only supports safer urban living, but also aligns with the values of eco-friendly consumers in Singapore and beyond.”
The wish5 device features a security alert function that is activated by vibration, a first for smartphones. Simply shaking the device will trigger a loud alarm and automatically call pre-registered contacts to inform them of the emergency, sending location information simultaneously. This function responds even when the smartphone is stored in a bag, ensuring immediate notifications in case of emergencies. Additionally, an AI-powered phone assistant function is included, which analyses call content to block suspicious calls, providing enhanced peace of mind.
Furthermore, AQUOS wish5 is equipped with a large approximately 6.6-inch display. With 120Hz high-speed driving support and improved brightness, the display provides smoother and brighter visibility. The device is powered by a large 5,000mAh battery, allowing users to enjoy videos and games without concern. Additionally, it features newly equipped IPX9[2] waterproof performance, capable of withstanding high temperatures of 80°C and high-pressure water jets, making it suitable for everyday use as well as outdoor activities.
The body comes in five colour variations that express the beauty of Japan: MISORA (BLUE), NADESHIKO (PINK), WAKABA (GREEN), YUKI (WHITE), SUMI (BLACK) Approximately 60% of the casing is made from recycled plastic, reflecting environmental considerations.
