      Lol exactly what I was thinking. Reminds me of the early android phones. The specs are amazing but that design is horrendous. People will only buy this if it was dirt cheap.

        Especially funny given that Sharp were the ones to introduce the bezeless design that everybody seems to be using these days while at this point they -themselves- have regressed to early 2010s designs (hello Samsung vibrant).

        Gotta show that being a good innovator doesn’t always mean that you have any idea (of) what the market wants. Reminds me of Xerox. Invented the mouse and graphical user interfaces in late 1970s , *sat* on it (they could be billionaires if they were to market it), then Microsoft and Apple stole it becoming the tech giants we know today, in the process.

        What’s with innovators being sooo non market – savvy?

        Funny. All I see is a rectangular brick like the other rectangular bricks that flood the market.
