"S42HW" seen in the photo: What can you do with the key? What about CPUs and batteries?

Huawei "S42HW" is an Android device equipped with a dialed keyboard. In the summer 2011 model, the slide type "AQUOS PHONE IS11SH" (made by Sharp for au) and the foldable "AQUOS PHONE THE HYBRID 007SH" (made of Sharp for Softbank) are also attracting topics as an Android smartphone equipped with a dialed key. In the middle, the same type of model appeared from E -Mobile. The OS adopts Android 2.3. The release is "scheduled for the second half of the summer" (e -mobile), which is expected to be after August.

The body size is about 51 (width) x 133 (height) x 10.45 (thickness * 11.5) mm. The screen size is as small as 3 inches, and a slim body suitable for operation with one hand is realized. The weight of about 114 grams is also lighter in smartphones. The resolution of the display is a relatively high Wide VGA (480 x 800 pixels) among the e -mobile terminals. The chipset is "MSM7227T" (800MHz) of Qualcomm, and the number of clocks is higher than the "MSM7227" (600MHz) of the "Pocket WiFi SII (S41HW)" announced at the same time. This is "because the S42HW screen has a higher resolution than Pocket Wifi Sii's HVGA (480 x 320 pixels)" (e -mobile). By the way, "T" of MSM7227T means "Turbo". The battery capacity is 1100mAh.

Equipped with a 5 million pixel camera on the back. The product in the photo has a glossy, but says, "The product version will be changed to a matte texture" (e -mobile) (photo = left). Compare with Xperia Arc SO-01C. The thinness of the S42HW stands out (photo = right) Equipped with a microSD slot and a micro USB terminal on the left side (photo = left). On the right side, there is an infrared port, volume adjustment key, power key, and camera key (photo = medium). There is a strap hole at the lower end (photo = right)

S42HW is a major feature of S42HW, which is composed of cross keys and four soft keys, utterances/end stories/clear keys and dial keys. There is. In the cross key, cursor movement, scrolling, determination operation, etc. can be performed. Like the previous mobile phones, you can respond with the dialogue key and terminate the call with the final story key, so even those who use smartphones for the first time will be able to call without discomfort. The clear ([C / manner]) key between the utterance and the ending key is used when deleting characters or switching in manner mode. The clear key used to return to the previous screen is the arrow key under the display.

Soft keys on the left and right of the cross key are assigned to email, address books, browsers, and menus (tethering) keys. If you press and hold the address book keys, the departure and arrival history will be displayed. In the menu key, a list of apps appears by short -press, and long presses can switch the tethering on and off. Since tethering can be used with one touch of the key, there is no tethering widget that can be used in Pocket Wifi S / Pocket Wifi SII. It also supports EMNET emails that can use the address of "~ @emnet.ne.jp" and can be called from the email key. Under the

display, in addition to the clear key mentioned above, search, home, and MENU key (both sensor keys) are installed. Of course, the touch panel can be used, so I would like to use key operation and touch operation according to the scene, such as inputting the letters with a key, choosing a conversion candidate by touch. The touch panel also supports multi -touch. Japanese input software uses Fuji Soft "FSKAREN".

Until now, HUAWEI terminals released in Japan are often based on global products, but S42HW is the S42HW. A pure "Japan -departed" model customized for Japan (by the way, the "A01HW" of the tablet is also a model for Japan). In April 2010, Huawei established a terminal R & D (R & D) Center in Japan, and has been focusing on the development of products for Japan, but it can be said that S42HW has completed one shape. You can feel the enthusiasm that E -Mobile and Huawei will develop the Japanese smartphone market, such as the use of keyboards as well as infrared communication. I want to wait for the release this summer.
