The World’s First Smartphone With Two Notches

The world’s first phone with two notches
Sharp Aquos R2 compact has been officially announced.

The phone features a 5.2-inch “freeform” display with one notch housing the 8MP selfie camera and another one for the fingerprint reader.

The display panel is an IGZO panel with 1,080 x 2,280px resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Yes, Sharp is the company behind Razer’s high frame rate screen and Essential’s notched screen. It’s an HDR10-enabled display with Gorilla Glass 3.

The Aquos R2 compact is powered by a Snapdragon 845 chipset that runs Android 9.0 Pie. The chipset is coupled with a 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, plus a microSD card slot (up to 512GB). Something not too common among phones with 5-inch screen. That is a flagship chipset in such phones.

The USB-C promises an intelligent charging procedure that extends the battery life. It’s a 2,500mAh battery, so even in its best shape, it’s not that great.

There’s a single 22.6MP camera there with a 22mm f/1.9 lens, OIS and electronic stabilization as well. The phone is waterproof (IP68). The Sharp Aquos R2 compact is available only in Japan for now.
