A new Disney smartphone coming to Japan

Another Disney smartphone has been unveiled in Japan with NTT DoCoMo announcing plans to sell the DoCoMo F-07E. Set to hit the streets from mid-July, it isn’t just cute but also a pretty powerful device. Under the hood, the F-07E hides a 1.7GHz quad-core processor (most likely Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro), 2GB of RAM and a 13.1-megapixel camera sensor (for the rear camera). The phone is also waterproof, making sure you keep receiving calls and texts even after accidental drops in the water. Plus, let’s not forget the mobile TV Read more

Sony Xperia A announced in Japan

Sony has officially announced the Xperia A in Japan where it will be sold by NTT DoCoMo, the country’s leading mobile operator. The device we’ve already seen at the FCC is a high-end Android 4.1 smartphone with specs that include a 4.6-inch 720p HD screen, LTE connectivity support, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU, 13-megapixel rear camera, VGA front-facing one and a 2,300mAh battery.

5-inch LG Optimus G Pro launched in Japan

Japanese customers won’t get the original LG Optimus G Pro, but a slightly modified version that dumps the 5.5-inch screen for a 5-inch one. The full HD resolution remains on place, giving a more pocketable device as a result (and one I would prefer over the bigger unit). That said, it is safe to bet this model will sell in volumes just like it did in South Korea. Rest of the specs are unchanged and include Qualcomm’s 1.7GHz Snapdragon 600 processor, 2GB of RAM, 3,000mAh battery, 13-megapixel rear camera, 2.1-megapixel Read more
