Toshiba has been one of the well-known brands when it comes to consumer products and electronic devices in the world and just recently it has announced its latest smartphone offering that will penetrate the market by early next year. This new smartphone is none other than the all new Toshiba Regza iS04.
Apparently, the Toshiba Regza iS04 is one of the three Android-based smartphones that will be released by KDDI, a well-known network carrier in Japan and it will also be the first Android handset that will come up with a 12.19-megapixel auto-focus camera. Together with the Toshiba Regza iS04 is the announcement of two other Android handsets- the Sharp IS05 and Pantech IS06, which is scheduled to be released before the year ends.
The Regza iS04 is also a waterproof phone that sports a 4-inch touchscreen display with FWVGA LCD panel that has a resolution of 854×480 pixels which enables its users to have a smooth viewing and navigation experience. Aside from these specs this smartphone will also include the following:
- Powered by a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor
- Supports Wi-Fi b/g and Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity
- Has a microSDHC card slot
- Uses a new EVDO system that supports up to 9.2Mbps downlinks and 5.5Mbps uplinks
- Runs with the Android 2.1 OS, but with the possibility to have an upgrade to Froyo
- Comes with 1-Seg digital TV tuner
The full specification of the Regza iS04 has not been released yet, but as we can see this partial list looks interesting and quite impressive as well. Its 12.19-megapixel camera looks better than the Nokia N8, which apparently is the first Symbian device to include a 12-megapixel camera with it. Well, it will be quite interesting to see which is better, but we must always remember that sometimes higher megapixel cameras don’t always produce sharp images.
This upcoming phone from Toshiba will be released by January, 2011 in Japan. However, there is no information yet whether this smartphone will have a European or North American releases as well. The price for the Toshiba Regza iS04 is still undisclosed as of the moment. So watch out for more details.
