It appears the dual notch-toting Sharp Aquos R2
Compact was well-received seeing as Sharp‘s next flagship is keeping the
design. The Aquos R3’s design has been leaked, thanks to case renders from
Spigen, and they show the phone will also have a notch at the top and bottom of
its display.
The Aquos R3 will have a U-shaped notch at the top
of the display for the selfie camera but even with the notch, the top bezel is
still pretty thick. The bottom notch is wider and carved around the pill-shaped
fingerprint scanner just like on the Aquos R2 Compact.
On the back, the Aquos R3 has vertically arranged
dual cameras flanked by an LED flash on the right. The right side of the frame
is home to the volume control buttons and power button. There is another button
further down, and judging from its position, we think it is a dedicated shutter
button for the camera. The phone also has a USB Type-C port at the bottom and
an earphone jack at the top.
While the specs are unknown, we are pretty sure it
will come with a Snapdragon 855 processor, an OLED/IGZO IPS LCD display, and
run Android Pie. It should also have an IP-rating like its predecessors.
