[Sharp Mobile](http://www.sharp-phone.com/) has launched their first mobile phones in Singapore.

They are the [Sharp MS1](http://sharpmobile.com.sg/sharp-ms1/) and the [Sharp Z2](http://sharpmobile.com.sg/sharp-z2/).

Both models are mid-tier with the Sharp MS1 retailing for **S$299** and the Sharp Z2 retailing for **S$399**.

The parent company behind Sharp Mobile is [Commtiva Technology](http://www.commtiva.com/) which is owned by [Foxconn](http://www.foxconn.com/).

Just in case you are unaware, [Foxconn completed the acquisition of Sharp back in August 2016](http://www.wsj.com/articles/taiwans-foxconn-completes-deal-to-acquire-sharp-1470994207).

The Sharp MS1 is being marketed as a selfie phone with a 13MP front-facing camera. It comes with a 64GB internal storage and an optional microSD storage expansion of up to 64GB.

It is available in both Hanayome White and Pure Pink.
