Love the size and specs of it. We need more phones in this size. Smartphones have overgrown a lot in the last 2 years, it's kind of concerning at this point. Not everyone is a fan of phablets.
Also to those who don't know, Sharp is a very old and reknowned company. They've made some of the most impressive phones back in the day. They were also the first to launch a "bezel-less" phone with a chin. They deserve respect!

As usual good phones is released in Japan only...
It is almost impossible to get a PHONE sized device with flagship specs for he markets outside Japan.
I'm not a fan of notches, but if the alternative is bezels, then OK, why not... As long as they offer a software option to blacken the 'ears' if the user want it, it offers the best of both worlds until we get under the display stuff more common.
And of course it is Sharp with the High Refresh rate displays, they have been leading on displays for very long. They had higher res than aPple claimed as new over FOUR YEARS before aPple... 333dpi in Feb 2006....

If only that fingerprin was on the back, this device would become a must have for all those who miss the one handed phone. Now it is just wasted potential.

If one is looking for a premium smartphone brand from Japan, it's no other than Sony.
They're the only OEM in their country which could easily compete with the foreign countries in technological advancements.
Sharp is just mostly an alternative premium TV brand. This product seems like they tried so hard, but lacked enough knowledge for the idea to succeed.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON not to have the 3.5mm jack on OnePlus 6T, which is done purely for GREED$$!! Even one of the upcoming Galaxy S10 variant that comes with in-display FPS has a 3.5mm jack, period.

So basically make a 10+ inch screen to show off it like the numbers but make 2 notches.
One in the top that is 20-30mm tall coming in the screen and second one in the bottom to be as large as 20-30mm and you have your self a 10 inch screen where usable space is only 6 inch or less. Cause the sides of the notches are not usable in any media. Either watch a video it's sides will be from the notch and same with games. Basically you have large bezels or large black side bars for video and games.

Walter C. Dornez, 15 Nov 2018That username thoughYup, that's the very origin of my username. Been here for 2 years and the way the community speaks out on most articles made me laugh, cringe and cry. Though were some diamond in the rough comments that made it look real informative but the vocal fanfare is what made me lose faith in humanity (lol). I truly "love" that kind of people and it made me show how far a fandom can go or how "regressive" they are for their personal sake.

You know why? The Japanese have no taste. Schematic and boring. Therefore, to design their phones, they have no idea and enthusiasm.
