What this hardware actually means
Editorial interpretation generated from the device's self-reported fields and our SoC tier database. Cross-reference with the raw fields below; if you spot a contradiction, please tell us.
Platform & performance positioning
The kddi SHV40 is built around the Snapdragon 430, an entry-level SoC from Qualcomm. It launched in 2016 on a Samsung 28nm HPM process. Budget 2017-era SoC; the workhorse of the Redmi 4 and Moto E4 Plus.
Legacy. Not recommended for any modern use.
Day-to-day workload
3 GB LPDDR3 of RAM is below the realistic minimum for current Android — expect Android to aggressively kill background apps. Display resolution is 1920x1080.
This record reflects Android API level 28 (9). Android 8–9 — legacy; many banking and DRM apps drop support at this level.
Trust & buying notes
If you're cross-checking a phone advertised as a kddi SHV40, the fields most worth verifying are: Build.MANUFACTURER lowercase-equal to "sharp"; Build.SOC_MODEL set (Android 12+) and consistent with Snapdragon 430. For an automated check, run our Hardware Trust Score from the DevCheck AI app and compare its output against this entry.
Because this entry runs Android 9, treat it as a reference for older inventory: refurb shops sometimes flash old firmware to make a device look "stock," so a modern build date with this API level is a red flag.
