Can I ask if a phone can have both OIS and PDAF? If no, Sharp Aquos S2 has only PDAF

      Ok, I was thinking about getting the XZ or the XZP from Sony. Usually I'm not interested in other than high-end flagships but this phone looks really good. I wonder what other colors do they have.
      Does it have SD card slot? Is it waterproof? Can I buy it in Europe and work?
      And the most important question :can I root it?

        That bottom bezel, I have a feeling it will be forgotten soon, GSM Arena is right it doesn't look good

            Anonymous, 08 Aug 2017FYI Foxconn now own Sharp Corporation.FYI even before Foxconn buy Sharp, many brands not just from japan (check my previous comments) like HP, apple, dell, etc made partnership with Foxconn to manufactured/assembled their products (I repeated this again)
            And long before Foxconn buying Sharp, many Sharp products were manufactured and or assembled by Foxconn. Many brands who made partnership or outsourcing' to Foxconn, and depending by contracts, Foxconn can name/disclosed those brands (or clients/customers) or not. This is common practice in the business where we called Foxconn as OEM.

              AQUOS Crystal was the true innovation back in 2014, 2 years before your alleged innovative Mi Mix has their bezeless design. To top it off, Mi Mix sourced their screens from SHARP.

                So this shows sharp supplies the screen for essential phone. Some questions, can 630 power 4k resolution? There's probably a 1080p mode. 5.5" bezelless phone, should be quite compact.

                    make the camera sensor underneath the screen
                    that would be revolutionary awesome

                      SHARP trying to attract customers with their minimal bezel display, but the front and the back of the smartphone makes me cringe instead of being attracted.

                                It's contradicting what you're saying. The top part *is* being used for content, otherwise it would be black and only showing the status bar with battery, time etc. That would be a much better idea, as you wouldn't have such an ugly cut out.

                                  Xiaomi MI MIX is still beautiful with no cut out at the top. MI MIX 2 will blow this phone and Iphone 8 away.
