Sharp made a phone with two notches

Last year, Sharp launched the Aquos R Compact, a phone with a tiny camera notch on the top edge and a gigantic bezel at the bottom for a fingerprint sensor. It does not look great. But for this year's model, the company has found a new solution to increase the size of the screen while maintaining the fingerprint sensor. Yes, that's right, the Aquos R2 Compact has another hacking.

The screen is a 5.2 inch 2280 x 1080 IGZO LCD that wraps the camera and fingerprint sensor. This does not go as far down the unit as on the other three edges, but it's a big improvement over the previous design. And for size, it will be one of the most powerful phones available anywhere – it has a Snapdragon 845 processor with 4GB of RAM, Android 9 Pie, D & # 39; A 22.6 megapixel camera and a 2500 mAh battery.

This dual phone may not be for all tastes, but it is the highest-end Android phone with a small screen and modern design without glasses, the latest Aquos R Compact was equipped with a Snapdragon 660 mid-range. processor. It is unfortunate that the R2 is likely to remain in Japan when SoftBank publishes it next year.

As for the Aquos R3 Compact, Sharp would be better off not falling under Google's restrictions on three-way devices.
