Smartphone able to stand soapy bath
Print Edition
TIRED of those unsightly smudges and other dirt on your bacteria-laden smartphone?
A Japanese firm said it has the solution with what it describes the world’s first smartphone that can be washed with soap and water.
Waterproof smartphones have been on the market for a while. But telecom company KDDI said its new “Digno rafre” phone — to be launched in Japan next week — is the only one that can withstand a soapy bath.
“Our development team washed the smartphone more than 700 times to test its durability,” a spokesman said.
But he also cautioned that only certain types of foamy soap could be used on the device, which will only be sold in Japan for now at 21,600 yen (US$175).
