12 July 2017
The shot emulates the one in which Andy Rubin teased the Essential phone a while back.

Those display cutouts are the biggest no no I've ever seen. Horrible.

    this reminds me of the first photo of the Essential phone, even the design is quite similar with the cutout in the middle.

LG G6 is there too, don't forget about that one even though many people prefer the s8. I look forward to the next MI mix and want to see how the next galaxy note will be considering this trend.

            Why Sharp was sold to china? The biggest mistake japan made. I want japan products and I am Sony fan. I wonder why sharp doesnt sell phones all over the world.

              Looks like when the essential phone was in the hand of the CEO when he leaked an image

                    AnonD-521587, 13 Jul 2017people refer to s8 bezeless design. what im saying is the Z... moreSony warriors are so funny.

                    In fact neither are bezeless, but ZL is downright depressing. With 75% BtS ratio it's surpassed by multiple China phones at this point. Impressive for its time , yes, depressing for this time? Oh yeah.

                    BTW S8 is not bezeless either , but 85% BtS ratio still crashes ZL which is a joke by now.

                    Once we enter the 9x % territory we'd start talking of bezeless phones. To this day most phones are heavily bezeled, only S8 and MiMix are kind of economic. Everything else? A joke.

                                am a Sharp user here, and coming from the 2013 edgest Aquos 302SH to the 2014 bezelless Aquos 402SH and up to the 2015 even more bezelless Aquos Xx (which XiaoMi copied for its Mix), I am happy the wait to upgrade will soon be over... welcome back the 'king' that started the bezelless series of smartphones...

                                  CM3, 13 Jul 2017See some pictures of the aquos and then speak. Sharp was th... moreno you're right about that. However, even the mi mix is a sharp rip off they pioneered the tech behind the issue of earpiece. Xiomi took the idea and refined it and the design was designed by a french designer.

                                  the Sharp Corner R is legit though and gives the mi mix a run for its money which uses a sharp panel anyways.

                                  i mentioned sony zl because I think it did it before sharp made acquos?

                                    Trump fan 1980, 13 Jul 2017 You and I seem to be the only ones who caught that. Some w... moreHaha well, not only you and the other guy, but me too (& probably more?).Yes, there is a little inaccuracy. SD830 just doesn't exist, so or SD630 or SD835. hopefully (for a better device) it will be the second one.

                                      Ohh, and hopefully at least one of them, will be a true flagship. I mean to be able to be compared at the same level to all the other top flagships (S8, U11, G6...) and the upcoming too (Note 8, V30...). What's more, hopefully it will include the 3.5mm jack, and even much much more, an SD slot.

                                        funkboy, 13 Jul 2017I guess you meant SD630... You and I seem to be the only ones who caught that. Some websites' claim the cheaper model will have a 630 Snapdragon chipset, while others still say it'll feature a "330" system on chip.
