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

AnonD-521587, 13 Jul 2017it has thin bezels. See some pictures of the aquos and then speak. Sharp was the first. Then they somewhat gave up on it due to the tech not being viable at that time. Xiaomi revived and refined it. Then everyone else (Lg, Samsung, Sony and apple) went crazy.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for next iteration of the Mi Mix. Should make the note 8 look like crap (not that the note 8 needs any more troubles, the current leaks already shows a fugly design).

    Yes, the image looks very similar to the one of Andy Rubin's Essential PH-1. With that being said, really looking forward for the 2 (or more?) Sharp's bezelless models.

      Anonanoymoususes, 13 Jul 2017what now ... sharp copying samsung ? oh wait ... nobod... moreHahahahaha........joke of the year. You really don't much about who is copying whom. Just go to Sharp Mobiles available in GSMArena and see how many months ago Sharp started making bezel-less or minimal-bezel phones, when these Samsung, LG, HTC, Apple etc didn't know this art.

                One of my pipe dreams now became true. Well done Sharp (copied HTC, Apple and Sony). But do I have to travel to Japan to get it ?!

                  Sharp was the first with the "bezel-less" mobiles, all bezel-less designs today learned from Sharp. Fact.

                          Mr. Electronics, 13 Jul 2017Not bad, if priced correctly, it will be a nice phone to buyJudging from previous Sharp smartphones,
                          It will be a-bit-over or decently priced but it'll require black magic to procure one.

                                The article says one of the phones will be powered by the snapdragon 830. I haven't heard any announcement related to a chipset by Qualcomm with that name. Could you please clarify.

                                      Maybe Sharp provided the Essential's display, but that picture is really similar to the Essential teaser.
