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.

      Irfan, 15 Nov 2018Please make it for the world. Now we do not have this size ... moreLook up Sony compacts they have always been under 5 inch and latest one is 5inch screen.
      And they have always been with the premium flagship hardware and price.

      What world needs is to have more of these compact size but with middle class hardware

                    Love it. I will totally buy it if it comes to USA> finally a small phone with good specs. all screen looks good. you guys are overly sensitive about stupid notches. who cares. its got a good feel and Sony makes good phones. i just never liked their bezels.

                        When you take something as bad as a notch and make it worse!

                                I was about to say something rude about it, but this smartphone has such a perfect size that I can actually forgive a second notch.

                                        excellent design! very unique! I am not much of a notches design. but if no notch means bezels or sliders. than I am willing to consider this. if there's an option to blacken ears.
