The Sharp Aquos R2 compact is the first dual-notch phone
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didnt stop to think if they should. No, this isnt about dinosaurs but something equally unnatural the Sharp Aquos R2 compact, officially the worlds first phone with two notches.
Joking aside, its actually a pretty good, fairly compact phone. It has a 5.2 freeform display with one notch housing the 8MP selfie camera and another one for the fingerprint reader.
The screen is an IGZO panel with 1,080 x 2,280px resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Yes, Sharp is the company behind Razers high frame rate screen and Essentials notched screen. Its 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. Memory-wise, theres 4GB of RAM and 64GB storage, plus a microSD card slot (up to 512GB). We don't get too many 5" or so phones with flagship chipsets anymore, so this sounds pretty good.

The phone boasts a 3.5mm headphone jack (perhaps, thanks to all the room Sharp saved by not using an in-display FP reader), complete with Dolby Atmos support. The USB-C promises an intelligent charging procedure that extends the battery life. Its a 2,500mAh battery, so even in its best shape, its not that great.
The Aquos R2 compact is built around a metal frame with an acrylic material on the back. Theres a single 22.6MP camera there with a 22mm f/1.9 lens, OIS and electronic stabilization as well. The phone is waterproof (IP68).
