Glad I'm not the only one with some high quality 1" action.
- Yes, it has both!

- The 256GB storage is expandable via microSD cards up to 1TB. Both phones have 3.5mm headphone jacks.
- Article says it has an SD card slot. But didn't see anything about a headphone jack.
Sharp is a way less known phone brand here in Taiwan. For the price of the regular, you could get the Xiaomi 13 or a Galaxy S23, and for the price of the pro you could straight up get the Xperia 1 V. All of the phones above would probably also have better customer support than Sharp.
- Sharp gives 3 os updates and 5 years of security updates. Unlike Sony
  
  Can't deny that. It's quite absurd a company big as Sony can't deliver the same software support as others. Though what I meant by customer support are the availability of stores, accessories, customer online/phone/in store support, repairs, 3rd party repairs and such.
  Like, if your battery went bad or the screen cracked and need a replacement, it's probably easier to find a replacement for Sony phones than Sharp ones. I think to some extent, that is more important than software updates.
19mm equivalent lens though, ooof. Great for certain types of photos, but it's definitely a niche FoV.
What kind of headline is this?
