Sharp Aquos C10 VS Sharp Aquos B10 – Verdict

I think the Sharp Aquos B10 is overpriced. The phone features great camera specs but that’s all. It runs on an outdated software with no indication of an upgrade anytime soon. And features a big battery capacity with no fast charge support. The Sharp Aquos C10 on the other hand, features good display, camera, hardware, and software. The only let down is its small 2700 mAh battery. But with a fast battery charging support, you shouldn’t have a hard time filling it up.
