Sharp, which launched its first slim bezel phone way back in 2014, is once again back in the game with its latest offering – Aquos S2. The near bezel-less phone was launched earlier today at an event in China and packs a 5.5-inch display with an impressive 84.95% screen-to-body ratio.

Sharp used FFD(Free Form Display) technology to make a small hole with precision for both receiver and selfie camera, to achieve such tiny bezels. It comes with a home button embedded fingerprint sensor which stands at 3.6mm in size. It is also the world’s smallest fingerprint identification module. Design-wise, it has a lot of similarities with the recently launched Essential phone. It has a metal frame with glass dominating both front and the back.
