Bezel is out, full screen is in- that is the trend this year. Sharp’s full-screen phones introduced with much fanfarw faikled to catch the attention span of the targetted customers. For a change Sharp launched the Aquos S3 Mini in China a few days after WMC Barcelona.
Unfortunateloy noting great about this budget smartphone with average specs and common edge-to-edge screen design . As such there is nothing more than a cosmetic changes in the age old Sharp design arneal
This design stood out for its narrow bezels and a screen that took up almost the entire front face of the device. While other giants are following full swtreen design , Sharp could not catch up much.
- The Aquos S3 mini has a 5.5-inch curved glass display
- Only 87.5 percent screen-to-body ratio
- Roughly 1080p resolution.
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor and has
- 6GB of RAM,
- 64GB of internal storage, and
- 3,020mAh battery.
- Android 7.1 Nougat
- Dual-SIM device
- USB Type-C port
- 16-megapixel rear camera
- 20-megapixel selfie cam with a portrait mode.
- Facial recognition
- Fingerprint sensor located below the screen.
The claim from Sharp that either method can unlock the phone in 0.1 seconds, this is yet to0 be seen. Ample spread of colours – black, blue, or gold, and it costs 1599 CNY ($252.80). How come Sharp missed the famus colour of China, red for a change?
Last year Sharo introduced Aqua 2 but with less success. Incidentally Sharp expect display orders for new iPad models towards OLED and IGZO to keep them afloat.
