Sharp’s virtually bezel-free smartphone is officially coming to Sprint

As we expected, Sprint on Tuesday announced that it would be getting the new Sharp Aquos Crystal smartphone exclusively on its network in the United States. Although the Aquos Crystal is a mid-range phone in terms of internal hardware, the device is notable for its display, which comes the closest to being completely bezel-free of any phone we’ve ever seen.

In addition to its display, the Aquos Crystal features a quad-core 1.5GHz processor, an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, a 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera, 1.5GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, and Android 4.4.2 KitKat.

Check out a video showing off the new device below and also be sure to check out Sprint’s page to learn more about pricing options for the device, which will also be sold for $149.99 off contract at Sprint’s prepaid subsidiaries Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile. Sprint hasn’t yet announced a release date for the device but says that information will be coming shortly.
