Sharp Aquos S2 to be announced on August 8

Sharp is about to make its comeback to the smartphone scene with the new Aquos S2 and is said to beat the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus with its bezel-less screen-to-body ratio.

The Sharp Aquos S2 will sport a 5.5-inch screen display, which would make it the largest screen-to-body ratio smartphone, according to the company, and will have slim bezels on three-sides. Despite the company’s goal to produce a “100% bezel-less screen”, they noted that there might be some factors that would hinder them of achieving the goal such as the placement of the front facing camera, and fingerprint scanner.
