OREANDA-NEWS. January 05, 2012. Fujitsu today announced the Japan availability of its new ARROWS ES IS12F smartphone, manufactured by Fujitsu Toshiba Mobile Communications. The new smartphone will be available in a steady roll out starting January 7, 2012 from KDDI Corporation and Okinawa Cellular Telephone Company.

Measuring just 6.7mm thick and weighing a mere 105g, ARROWS ES IS12F pushes the limits of slim handset design as one of the world's thinnest smartphones, while at the same time incorporating water-resistant technology. The smartphone employs a hybrid construction that brings together Fujitsu's latest slim-profile technologies, as well as super strong and rigid Corning® Gorilla® Glass and a scratch-resistant "Ultra Toughguard" coating. The result is a handset that is thin and light while also robust and that can be used in a variety of situations.

Smartphones continue to feature a wide range of new advanced capabilities, but there is still a need for mobile phones to be light, thin, and easy-to-carry. The ultra-slim and sophisticated water-resistant smartphone incorporates a wide range of advanced features, including a new AMOLED(1) display that stands out for unparalleled clarity.

The new 4.0-inch AMOLED display boasts higher contrast and clarity, as well as improved response times and tracking compared to conventional LCD displays. With Fujitsu's latest high-definition technology, users can enjoy fluid high-resolution video content. The smartphone's high-performance 1.4GHz CPU and quick-response touchscreen also make for a smooth and effortless user experience.

The ultra-slim ARROWS ES IS12F incorporates a host of standard features, such as one-segment broadcasts, mobile wallet (Osaifu Keitai), and infrared communications, as well as cutting-edge capabilities including IPX5/8 water-resistant technology(2), a 5.11 megapixel camera that can capture Hi-Vision videos, and Fujitsu's original human-centric engine that delivers intuitive ease-of-use. IS12F is available in two colors: RUBY RED and GLOSS BLACK.
