Sharp Aquos S2 is the bastard child of all those phones you're waiting for

Sharp has a new phone out ... and it reminds us of every other phone that's coming out this year.

The Sharp's new Aquos S2 follows all the latest smartphone trends: large screen with minimal bezels, dual camera on the back. But even though Sharp has been in the tiny bezels game longer than anyone, the design feels oddly derivative.  

More precisely, the Sharp Aquos S2 somehow manages to look like a ripoff of every other significant phone out there, including Andy Rubin's Essential Phone, the rumored iPhone 8, and the Samsung Galaxy Note series.
