KDDI launches A5305K with swivel design to 3G mobile lineup

April 24, 2003

KDDI Corp. and Okinawa Cellular announced their plans to launch sales of the new Movie Mail-compatible handset A5305K in mid-May of this year. Manufactured by Kyocera, the handset allows users to shoot and send seamless movies and is part of a new lineup of 3G mobile phones (CDMA 2000 1x), a format that enables high-speed data transmission of up to 144 kbps.

The A5305K comes in a stylish, innovative design, providing a new feel for users. Unlike conventional clamshell-type handsets, the main display side slides back and forth and can swivel 180 degrees.

A5305K Size:
Approx. 50 (w) x 100 (h) x 22 (d) mm
Weight:
(with battery) Approx. 108 g
Continuous talking time:
Approx. 160 minutes
Battery life:
Approx. 190 hours
Display:
pixels 132 (horizontal) x 176 (vertical)

With this swivel design, almost all operations--calling, email, EZweb-- can be performed while the handset is closed. Additionally, by using the main display as the viewfinder, users can shoot still and video clips using both hands like a regular digital camera, minimizing shaking.

With the addition of the A5305K, there are now seven Movie Mail-compatible handsets and a total of 18 CDMA 2000 1x mobile phones.

The Movie Mail-compatible A5305K with swivel design will transform the "mobile" phone into a personal media station. Several new features are described below.

Swivel design renews the value of "mobile" and incorporates the swivel design allowing the main display side to rotate 180 degrees to become an open style phone. The swivel design has eliminated the design restrictions of clamshell-type phones caused by the hinge for stylish, elegant design and color patterns. Design also includes an accent point to emphasize swivel feature. Side lever operation allows calling, email, web browsing and camera use when the handset is closed.

Includes shortcut feature linked with the swiveling action from open to closed, allowing the user to jump instantly to screens for calls made/received, the address book, email inbox, email received and replied to. The swivel-type's new operation method eliminates burdensome processes.

Furthermore, there are six patterns of menu screens linked to whether the handset is open or closed. The screens switch between a list mode when the unit is closed, which is easy to operate with the side lever, and a launcher icon mode when the unit is open. Menu screens are displayed giving priority to usability whether the unit is open or closed.

The rear camera and swivel features enable still and video clips to be shot like a digital camera with minimal shaking. Perfect for shooting photos in PC mode. The camera can be activated by simply opening the lens cover. Giving full consideration to good etiquette, the lens cover also prevents people nearby from feeling uncomfortable.

The multimedia player feature allows Chaku-Uta and other data to be played (song select, random mode, etc.), so users can enjoy using the phone as a music player. Chaka-Uta is a format that allows about 30 seconds of a song's chorus with the artist's vocals (something not found in conventional ringer melodies) can be downloaded from EZweb-compatible websites and used as the ring signal tone or played back for the user's enjoyment. A standard recharger unit, in which information can be checked on a large display even during recharging, in conjunction with the multimedia player feature allows the handset to be used as a compact music player, playing Chaku-Uta and movie data.

The unit also includes a multimedia-dedicated SH Mobile CPU capable of high speed processing for recording and playing video clips, launching ezplus, displaying the browser and other features. Real time encoding enables video clips to be shot then immediately played. Equipped with turbo mode, which has three speed settings for ezplus processing, regular, high, and max, an execution environment can be selected that best matches the application. The onboard video system consists of a VGA-compatible highly sensitive camera capable of shooting pictures and movies in PC mode and a supersensitive 330,000 effective pixel camera with five step digital 4x zoom. 96x80 bit filming possible. A maximum of 15 seconds of filming (set at 5, 10, or 15 seconds), with subtitle and dubbing functions and five step 4x digital zoom are included for maximum compatibility with Movie Mail. Email can be viewed or played back at a conventional movie size of 96x80 bits or on a large 128x96 bit screen.

A large 260,000 color, semi-transparent Crystal Fine LCD display 2.1 inch, 132x176 bit, large LCD display and swivel design allows calls received and email inbox to be viewed on a large screen even when the unit is closed.
