    Well, it sounds respectable, with: QHD, HDR 10, 4GB RAM, 22.6MP main, 16MP front, and the SD835. Well, it seems good, right

      It's funny. 3 years ago they were the ones that started the whole bezeless thing, and nowadays they have some of the thickest bezels out there...

              AnonD-628531, 19 Apr 20171. Search: "Sharp Corner R" 2. EnjoyI remember this. I was expecting Corner R but Aquos R looks like any normal phone. So sad. Sharp could had gain attention if they really did it.

                Again with the ugly off center buttons, do people not realise it doesnt look nice?

                  Bbin, 19 Apr 2017Luckily, for Japanese market only..!You can buy any Japanese smart phone, just go to kyoex and you will see I am right.

                    Man, I am dissapointed! I was a Sharp fan, I still respect them, but come on! This looks like a Samsung from the front! Where is the creativity? And this is bigger than the predecessor, yet the screen size is the same.

                      Emopa is nothing "new", unless this is a new version. They have had Emopa in Aquos phones for the last few years.

                        Sony and Sharp are neighborhood brands that actually work together as one

                        Samsung and LG are neighborhood brands that heavily competes each other. Ask why LG wasn't able to pick the SD835 for the LG G6

                          Man, I didn't see this coming, Sharp knows how to launch a ninja phone, without rumours. Sharp Aquos R looks more like a demo phone to showcase their display technology than an mainstream phone, like Sharp Aquos Crystal, but I miss that bezelless design(3 years before G6 or S8).

                            AnonD-628531, 19 Apr 20171. Search: "Sharp Corner R" 2. EnjoyYou would need transparent screen for cameras to hide, if also used to bottom bezel. Anyway 2:1 with rounded corners is with AI, this year's thing. Wonder how iphone and surface concepts looks like...

                                        Nice specs but why do they have to be conservative with the design as they are the first with the smartphone with high screen to body the ratio.
