Lady Gaga is one of the attention grabbing artiste out there. It is no surprise that Sharp too is wanting the same attention and they’ve gotten some help from Lady Gaga to promote its Sharp IS03 device.

The Sharp IS03 is one of the highest resolution displays found on an android device which offers similar 960×640 pixels like the iPhone 4. This is something which Sharp calls ASV (Advanced Super View) that boasts wider viewing angles.

So now the iPhone 4 isn’t the only one with a high resolution 960×640 display as Sharp has matched up with its IS03. So which one is better? Engadget has a hands on comparison. From the shots taken, both are quite similar and it is hard to conclude which one is better.

We would like to stress that these photo samples isn’t really an actual comparison as photos are totally different from viewing it with your own eyes. Check out the photo gallery from Engadget here.

Sharp IS03 is a new Android device that matches the retina display of the iPhone 4 with its 960×640 resolution display. Sharp calls it Advanced Super View (ASV) Technology which boasts wider viewing angles for its display.

Along with its high resolution display is a 9.6 Megapixel auto focus camera with image stabilizer capabilities. It even comes with TV tuner and Osaifu-Keitai, which is Japan’s version of NFC for mobile payments. Obviously this a very Japanese targeted device.

Engadget had a hands-on experience and they reported that the device feels rather cheap. Furthermore, it runs on Android 2.1 EClair with Sharp’s own custom UI. An interesting discovery is that the IS03 has an extra LCD strip below dedicated to show either the time during standby or navigation buttons during operation.

Don’t expect this coming to our shores soon as it operates on CDMA networks. However it could be used outside of Japan as it has support for Global Passport CDMA in countries like the US.
