I haven’t presented to you any interesting facts from the Land of the Rising Sun. Time to catch up and show you the structure which is introduced to the Softbank network.

It’s the Softbank 204SH phone prepared by Sharp. This model is designed for older users. In fact, it can be called a smartphone: it has a touch screen and Android 4.0. However, there was introduced a number of modifications so that the phone was friendly to seniors. 204SH has a highly modified and simplified user interface with an interesting "feedback". In addition to vibration, it indicates touching the screen with the blue circle around the point. This allows the user for easier understanding of the operation of the system. There was also added enhanced voice control. To activate any function, it’s just enough to say its name. I assume that the only recognized language is Japanese...
Unfortunately, the Akihabaranews service that describes this model is not in the habit of administering the full specification. Besides the fact that the phone has a 4-inch display, there were just published its dimensions (64x128x12 mm) and weight: 130 g. Based on the supplied photo, we also know that the phone will be available in several colours - at least three.

Therefore I had to use the Japanese site of Softbank. There I learned that the screen resolution is 800x480 pixels, and the phone supports W-CDMA networks in 900 MHz, 1.5 and 2.1 GHz. Working memory is 1 GB, and ROM - 4 GB with a microSD card expansion option to 32 GB. I found further information about the presence of modules Wi-Fi, GPS, IrDA and Bluetooth 3.0 and two cameras. As I understand Japanese description, the main camera has a 5-megapixel sensor and autofocus, and a front camera supports VGA resolution. An important advantage of the phone is the sealed casing that meets the IP57 standard. This means that the phone can get wet or be exposed to contaminants without damage to the electronics.
Softbank offers seniors this phone together with the contract costing less than three thousand yen per month, which gives about 25 euro. The package has unlimited calls and 500 MB of data.
