Japan’s second largest mobile carrier KDDI au unveiled its summer line-up of cell phones today, and one of the 15 new models is particularly interesting: the so-called INFOBAR A01 [JP], which is part of KDDI’s designer sub-brand iida. The biggest selling points are the Android phone’s pretty unique design and UI.
First, the specs:
3.7-inch LCD with 960540 resolution
Android 2.3
8MP camera
e-wallet function
digital TV tuner
infrared
USB, microSDHC ports
Bluetooth 3.0+EDR, Wi-Fi (IEEE802.11b/g/n)
CDMA GSM
6-axis motion sensor
size: 1186311.8mm, weight: 113g
And the UI is simply beautiful, as you can see in the video embedded below (it’s in Japanese, but that doesn’t matter too much in this case):
KDDI plans to start offering this Android INFOBAR in Japan this summer.
Update:
Our friends over at Diginfonews in Tokyo just posted this video (subbed in English) they took of the handset earlier today at the KDDI press conference:
