Japan’s KDDI has announced the LG Isai FL, which as far as we can tell is a local version of LG’s upcoming G3 flagship. While it lacks volume control buttons on the back, it has a recently approved 5.5-inch Quad HD screen with super-narrow bezels and resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels. Rest of the…
While we wait for Apple to launch new iPads with fingerprint sensors, Fujitsu is already doing it in Japan. The new Fujitsu Arrows Tab FJT21 is, as far as we know, the world’s first commercially available Android tablet with this capability, and also a super-powerful device.

Two Japanese carriers, NTT DoCoMo and KDDI, are showing off some cool tech at CEATEC 2012. The former is demoing its Grip UI that wants to make it easier to use your big screen smartphone on a packed train. The solution consists of a trio of grip sensors located along the two edges and across…

Kyocera’s Urbano Progresso dumps the traditional speaker for a vibrating display that conducts sound up your ear canal, making it easier to hear the person on the other end of the line even in loud environments.
