Kyocera is out with the world’s first “regular” smartphone with sapphire screen. I’m saying “regular,” because there are already few devices with such panel though they tend to cost few thousands of dollars. Think: luxury phone makers like Vertu and Gresso. The Japanese company has made its own technology and chances are they’ll be looking…
