Rakuten Mobile will release the AQUOS wish6 smartphone for 44,900 yen on September 17. The 5G handset pairs a 6.6-inch 120Hz display with MIL-standard durability, IPX5/IPX8/IPX9 waterproofing, and a 5,000mAh battery. A carrier-switch campaign gives 16,000 Rakuten Points to first-time Rakuten Saikyo Plan or Rakuten Saikyo U-NEXT applicants, bringing the effective price to 28,900 yen.
The wish6's safety pitch goes beyond the case. A shake-to-alert function sounds a security alert and sends location data to emergency contacts when the phone is shaken hard while in a bag, and the handset blocks nuisance calls from international numbers. The camera adds AI text shadow removal and automatic keystone correction for document shots.
Rakuten Mobile says the 3-piece body can be washed with hand soap, and the phone supports fingerprint and face authentication plus Osaifu-Keitai. Sales open at 9:00 a.m. on September 17 on the official website and Rakuten Ichiba store, and at each Rakuten Mobile Shop's opening time the same day.
