I've been using the Sharp Aquos Crystal since 2014, and yes, it's the first (tri) bezeless phone to be mass produced, enjoyed the smaller dimension size for a 5" phone... It had a dedicated 3.5mm earphone jack too...
Had no issue with it except it had a single rear firing speaker which I despise it's location but it was loud enough to be heard even on full volume, which was rare for a mid-range during it's era... The screen vibration speaker thing was cool (though Sharp Aquos Crystal wasn't the first to implement this technology) but useless when in loud noisy environment...

Best of all, XiaoMi 'copied' in 2016 and many other brands from 2017 onwards, and people going histeria about bezelless or edge-less or infinity or whatever it's called should just stop... It's been around since 3 years ago from Japan...

    An audiophile wearing Beats... The best joke I've ever had today.

      I'd prefer proper audio DAC + amplifier plus small bezels than better speakers. I mean, how often do you listen to music using speakers and how often do you wear headphones?
