Kyocera today announced the release of the Digno S smartphone, which is compatible with KDDI Corporation’s recently launched high-speed 4G LTE network. The Digno S features the largest battery (2,520mAh; 1,110 min. talk time) of any smartphone with a screen under 5.0-inches in the Japanese market, and a rapid battery-charging function. The latest in the Kyocera Digno series of smartphones, Digno S is part of KDDI’s new handset lineup announced on Oct. 17.
The handset also comes with Kyocera’s proprietary Smart Sonic Receiver technology, which transmits clear audio quality to the user’s ear drum directly through vibrations in the handset’s display screen. The innovative tissue-conduction audio technology has been further enhanced from previous applications to heighten acoustic pressure of low-pitch sounds for even clearer, easier-to-hear audibility.
Digno S features a 4.7-inch HD display and Kyocera’s proprietary technology (Sugugoe) that allows voice commands to activate various applications. The new Digno S combines the speed of the LTE high-speed communications network with convenient and easy-to-use functions. The Digno S also has a tethering function, allowing up to ten Wi-Fi -equipped devices to link-up and take advantage of the LTE network
