Sharp Aquos S2 hands-on review

23 December 2017
It's not often we have a Sharp device with us for review. Primarily sold in East Asian markets, these devices are hard to come by elsewhere. So, when Sharp contacted us to review their mostly new AQUOS S2, we couldn't really say no.

                        this is a better compact phone than my sony x compact with almost no bezels. at least they are close to the conventional 16:9 ratio for the display

                          WTF are those 45 degree cuts in the corners? Is the display cut like that or is it a theme?
                          Bleahhh! The marketing photos don't show that!
                          What a scam!

                              Anonymous, 23 Dec 2017Sharp was the first, Xiaomi always copying... Lol no. Xiaomi 's version was much improved over Sharp's.

                              Piezoelectric sound, much smaller bottom bezels, big battery despite the smallish body. All Xiaomi's first.

                              Btw the above design is again not a sharp innovation. Essential did it first.

                                      They should place the fingerprint scanner at the back to stretch the screen size and maybe they can add headphones jack.
