Glad I'm not the only one with some high quality 1" action.

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.

19mm equivalent lens though, ooof. Great for certain types of photos, but it's definitely a niche FoV.

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.
