Data transfer was a hassle unlike oppo/vivo etc, sharp using Android open source is really disappointing with minimal custom app support

It's not exactly Vanilla but it is a Google Android.
Vanilla is AOSP (Android Open Source Project).

I think at this price, sans the smaller amount of OS updates, its a no-brainer deal

This phone tick most boxes for me:
- Available in my country and its official
- Has bright OLED display
- Side fingerprint sensor (rare to find in the midrange phone)
- Snapdragon processor
- Above average cameras
- Plenty of RAM
- Decent storage and fast one (UFS 4.0)
- Vanilla Android
- Decent battery and charging speed
- USB C with display out
- Has white variant
Some downsides:
- Price is near to flagship teritory
- Sharp aquos is new in my country, not proven (even it is #1 in Japan)
- Software update seems slow and average (3 years major android update)
- Design of camera bump is not for everyone
- Lack of ecosystem (tablet, watch/band, earbud, laptop, etc.)
If the price if off by 20-30% this will be irresistable phone to buy. Strong candidates when its time to buy new phone for myself.
