Hi friends! This is Tech Brothers.
Earlier this month, it was released new full-screen smartphone called Sharp Aquos S2.
As you remember Sharp Aquos was the first smartphone with bezel-less display.
And new smartphone also follows this trend.
However Sharp Aquos S2 has great differences
in design compare with previous model.
The bezel-less display of Aquos S2 has diagonal
of 5.5-inch, but it has cut-out at the top, just like the Essential PH-1 for a front facing camera and sensors.
The top corners are also diagonals, instead of rounded or squared-corners.
Sharp Aquos S2 does not only look attractive
from the front, the rear panel is a beautiful too.
The back features 5-surface single-piece 3D glass that wraps around the cameras entire
back and edges.
This means, there are no gaps and seams on
the back of the device.
As we already said Aquos S2 comes with 5.5-inch display, but the bezel-less design gives it
4.9-inch look and screen-to-body ratio of 87.5%.
As for specifications, S2 comes in two versions: Snapdragon 660 model with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage
Snapdragon 630 model with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage.
Moreover, Aquos S2 is the first smartphone
that comes with Snapdragon 630 processor.
The 14nm processor features 8 cores cortex-A53
and it is clocked at 2.2GHz.
It has support for Bluetooth 5.0, dual cameras,
and Cat. 12 LTE.
Snapdragon 630 is expected to be the successor
to Snapdragon 625.
Aquos S2 comes with dual rear camera. It has settled for a vertical design, that
looks similar to iPhone 8 leaks. The cameras are a combination of 8-megapixel
sensor and 12-megapixel sensor with dual-pixel technology.
Also, it has ability to shoot photos with bokeh effect.
The front camera is 8-megapixel sensor.
New smartphone has fingerprint scanner under the home button.
It also has NFC, so it should support Android Pay.
There is, dual SIM slot that fits 2 nano SIM cards, or one SIM and microSD card (128GB max).
A USB type-C port sits in the middle of two
speaker grilles at the bottom.
It’s a pitty, but Aquos S2 doesn’t have audio jack, but it there is USB Type-C, audio
cable adapter in the box, along with a case.
Aquos S2 will ship with new UI, called Smile U X, which has a smart assistant built into it
And the most interesting part – the price. We should say that Sharp Aquos S2 is not a
budget smartphone.
So, the model with Snapdragon 660 will sell
for $522, while Snapdragon 630 version will be priced at $418.
