Introducing Fujitsu's entry smartphone "arrows U" with photos!

As previously reported, on the 10th, SoftBank installed "Android 9.0 (development code name: Pie)" in the OS as a "2019 summer model" for the mobile phone service "SoftBank" and adopted a key exclusively for Google Assistant Fujitsu Connected Technologies ( Below, we announced the entry smartphone (smartphone) "arrows U" made by Fujitsu. The release date is scheduled for late June, and prior to the release, advance reservations will be accepted at SoftBank dealers such as SoftBank shops and mass retailers and the official Web store "SoftBank Online Shop" after mid-June. .. The price is undecided at this time and will be announced at a later date. It is the first time in five and a half years that Fujitsu has lined up arrows brand smartphones for Softbank. This is the first time since "ARROWS A SoftBank 301F" released in December 2013 (the manufacturer at that time was Fujitsu Mobile Communications). At that time, it had a round form that was easy to hold for female users, but it was close to the high end in terms of specifications, and it was lined up as a high-end terminal line, but this machine mainly targets the model change of the smartphone debut layer and entry layer. It is a low-end model. Prior to this announcement, I had the opportunity to touch the actual machine, so I will introduce the specifications and functions of this machine with photos. In addition, at SoftBank, the manufacturer will carry out a "Campaign to get PayPay" in conjunction with the code payment service "PayPay" under its umbrella, and if you purchase arrows U, you will receive a return equivalent to 3,000 yen that you will definitely get. .. The main body color is blue, white, and black. ■ Notch design even for entry models! As mentioned above, this unit is an entry-level terminal for people who are new to smartphones or who are not very good at operating smartphones, but the screen is a vertically long 5.8-inch FHD + with an aspect ratio of 19: 9 ( 1080 x 2280 dots) TFT LCD display is adopted, and it is a trendy style with rounded corners and a notch in the in-camera part. Qualcomm's "Snapdragon 450 (SDM450)" (1.8GHz octa-core CPU) is installed in the chipset (SoC), the internal memory (RAM) is 3GB, and the internal storage is 32GB, which are necessary and sufficient specifications suitable for low-priced models. is. The design is a three-sided narrow frame style with narrow upper and left and right bezels, but the margins at the bottom are also narrow enough to enjoy "modern" style. The 5.8-inch screen , which allows you to enjoy the notch design even with the entry model, is a vertically longer display than the full HD, which has a high screen occupancy for the housing , so the width of the housing is suppressed to 72 mm even though the screen size is large enough. It keeps a size that is relatively easy to hold even with one hand. In addition, the weight is relatively light at 165g, so one of the advantages is that you will not get tired while using it. In addition, a simple home is also available as a home screen that is easy to understand for smartphone beginners and seniors. In addition to displaying the icon in a large size, each key of "Back / Home / History", which is a little difficult to understand on the normal home screen, is displayed in an easy-to-understand manner. ■ Equipped with a dedicated key for Google Assistant The biggest feature of this unit is the dedicated key for Google Assistant provided on the right side of the main unit. Google Assistant is a function that is installed as standard on Android smartphones, and it can usually be started by pressing and holding the home button or calling "OK, Google", but with this machine it is easier and easier to understand and the dedicated key (assistant key) Prepared. Even those who use smartphones for the first time can use the Google Assistant without hesitation. Also, by pressing and holding the assistant key, you can select and register 5 types of functions including the Google Assistant function, such as the light function, camera function, screen zoom function, and Osaifu-Keitai function. You can use it more conveniently by assigning the function to be used for. From the left, you can use it in various convenient ways, from searching with assistant keys, volume control keys, and power keys to voice operation on your smartphone. You can press and hold the Google Assistant assistant key from the setting screen . It also has a jack, and one of the features is the convenience that even those who have used feature phones so far can use it without changing the usage style significantly. The design of the side surface is not just a curved surface, but a polygon with a slight angle, and the corner lines are gently curved on the upper and lower sides, which is a part that can not be understood without careful attention. It has a shape that is particular about. Due to the presence of these slight corners, it is easier to grasp when placed on the table and the "feeling of being caught" when held in the hand is improved, and you can feel the detailed ingenuity and consideration. The strap hole is popular with children and the elderly. The earphone jack has Felica on the back on the upper side, and even inexpensive terminals can support the Osaifu-Keitai function. Since fingerprints are inconspicuous and have a matte finish that feels good to the touch, it gives an impression that it is easy to use without putting it in a protective case. The logo camera function of arrows, which is nostalgic for SoftBank users, is so fulfilling that it can not be thought of as an entry model, such as the dual camera out camera. The rear camera has a configuration of about 13.1 million pixel CMOS for the main and about 5 million pixel CMOS for distance measurement, and it also supports "portrait mode" where you can easily take pictures that take advantage of the bokeh, making it easy to take high-quality pictures. One of the features is that you can enjoy it. The front camera has about 8 million pixels , but the dual camera on the back that provides sufficient image quality is near the edge of the back. ■ Aiming for a "smartphone that is useful to you" In addition, it supports IPX5 / IPX8. It is also equipped with a waterproof function, a dustproof function compatible with IP6X, and impact resistance, and is thoroughly pursued for ease of use in daily use. The screen is easy to see, such as support for the easy-to-read font "UD Shin Maru Go" and "Super Clear Mode" that automatically adjusts the display brightness. The person in charge said that the "U" attached to the name of this machine has the meaning of "You", "universal", and "youthful" and was developed with the concept of "a smartphone that is useful to you". increase. According to the concept, the vertically long notch type display is large enough and easy to see, and the width of the main body is suppressed to 72 mm, so the ease of holding is not impaired. It made me feel "easy to hold" and "it seems to be easy to use". At first glance, the adoption of the assistant key may seem wasteful, but the ease with which the Google Assistant can be called with a physical key is a great advantage for smartphone beginners. Also, the fact that you can set various apps by pressing and holding the assistant key is safe even for those who are not familiar with the touch UI. It is also highly evaluated that it is possible to install dual cameras while suppressing the basic performance to the necessary and sufficient. It is said that the price is still undecided, but it is planned to be the cheapest price range in Softbank's smartphone lineup, so it seems that there is no doubt that it will be a sufficiently affordable price.
