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.

Ahhh, I love the cuck community we have here. Every Xiaomi Mi Mix article has Sharp Aquos comments all over as they revere it as a god. Now look at this, the hate is real. If you hate Sharp on an article like this then maybe you shouldn't ever mention Sharp Aquos in Xiaomi Mi Mix's articles. Hypocrites lul.

    I'm pretty happy with 5.1-5.2 inch screen. If I need more screen I can use my laptop/tablet.

        Especially the gesture navigation on FP reader. looks cool.
        Back is ugly tho.

          The phone actually looks kind of cool and the specs are acceptable, but the battery size is a total deal breaker. Too bad!

            Kill it before it breeds

              Launch the phone with Quad-Notch, Hexa-Notch , notches all the sides... By doing this you can beat Samsung and Apple... Good luck

                Sharp doesn't seem to understand why it continues to fail in the smartphone business year in and year out. Here's a tip, sharp: your design ideas are hideous!

                      Hmmm... If only there's another way to place the fingerprint sensor... I don't know, maybe in the back, who knows, I'm not an engineer though.

                            Can't wait for the first quad-notch phone

                              Last year Huawei Mate 10 with front fingerprint scanner no notch and minimal bezels all around the phone is better than Aquos R2 compact.

                                Uglier than the pixel 3xl

                                      Love the Community, 15 Nov 2018No one will ever make a FP Scanner as tiny as the top notch... moreI mean use both the bigger notch. Can put in-glass fps & front firing speaker on the bottom notch, earpiece at top and make it stereo.

                                      Seriously we discuss about this dual notch thing? Its ridiculous lol
