Sharp Aquos S3 Mini With Snapdragon 630 SoC and Android Nougat Launched

Japanese electronics major Sharp on Wednesday announced a new smartphone, the Sharp Aquos S3 Mini in China. The handset has been listed for pre-order on Chinese online store, JD.com for a starting price of CNY 1,599 (roughly Rs 16,500). It is available in Black colour variant only. The Aquos S3 Mini is a mid-range device and sports a rather interesting design. It comes with a rather unusual 17:9 aspect ratio display with a front-facing notch and pretty thin side bezels. Unlike other screen-notch phones, the S3 Mini has a pretty small screen notch that houses the front selfie camera alone. The bottom bezel is pretty thick to accommodate the physical home screen button cum fingerprint scanner.
