The Sharp Aquos R2 compact is the first dual-notch phone

15 November 2018
We're not mad, we're just disappointed. Actually, with a 120Hz HDR10 screen, Snapdragon 845 and Android 9.0 Pie, this isn't all bad.

    Good hardware, bad design choices.

      LOL, a lot of people cringed at it because "haha, 2 notches". But how much significant display area do you loose? Almost nothing. The most ""horrible"" part of it, is that the notches start rounded, but end flat. That's also the biggest ""problem"" i have with the iPhone notch.

      What i dislike the most is that where i live (not Japan) i can't buy it.

            I held my old iPhone 4 the other day and realized 'normal'-size phones these days are a tiring strain. I'd take a serious look at a localized one with NA bands if the price wasn't exorbitant.

              Anonymous, 15 Nov 2018The ENTIRE AUDIO INDUSTRY DISAGREES with your comments. The... moreHow big is the battery oh the S10? When you find out, let me know. Until then, I'll just use Bluetooth audio and the dongle if I really need the audio jack. It isn't that hard, just attach the dongle to your headset.

              You people complaining are like children. Every inconvenience is like the end of the world. All caps and yelling? Get a life, dude.

                Anonymous, 16 Nov 2018The ugly is real.Next up, quad-notch, a notch in each corner.
                Then, uni-notch, the all-encompassing notch taking up the whole front with screens on the sides.

                  i think i like the compact design that fit well in hand, but why 2 notch? man enough with one notch. also, i think people will think about that small battery, it makes sense with that little body and new tech of the screen, it will last a bit longer than we expected

                    I hate notches. But the dimensions are superb. I'd gladly live with the notches for those compact, one-handed dimensions. Wish Samsung, Huawei or Xiaomi or any of the globally available brands made something like this. The dimensions are perfect.

                      Welp!!!! This is what you wanted guys 2 notches, now next is side to side notch....

                        A shame that they couldn't make it more symmetrical. Same type of notch and no bezel aside from the notches.

                        Chin + bottom notch just looks strange. The chin is big enough to fit screen connector etc so why the notch in addition?

                          But did they get Apple's Rectangle With Rounded Corners patent?

                                  I'd love it if the notches in the same size, and get rid of the chin
                                  whats the point of bottom notch when there's still chin

                                      Not funny

                                        If some stray soul of phone company representative in here. Can we have a phone that sizes around iphone 4, pretty please. And no that palm "phone" does not count.
