Yamada Denki, a Japan-based company, recently announced the new EveryPhone model, which is one of the first smartphones in Japan to feature Windows 10 straight out of the box. Additionally, the device is the thinnest Windows smartphone yet.
Phone Arena reported that the super-slim Windows 10 handset has a measurement of 154.8mm x 78.6mm x 6.9mm. Before the EveryPhone, the thinnest Windows smartphone was the Nokia Lumia 830, with a thickness of 8.5mm. The slim design of the Lumia 830 was not very much different compared to other existing smartphones in its time. Now, Yamada Denki managed to remove 1.5mm off the previous device to have a truly thin and lightweight model, with a weight of 138.6 grams. The current model can match the Apple iPhone 6s in terms of dimensions.
GSM Arena revealed that the EveryPhone features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 SoC and a 5.5-inch 720P screen. The handset has 2GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD, and a 2600mAh battery. The device also has a 13-megapixel back camera and a 5-megapixel front shooter. The device will officially release on Nov. 28, 2015 at a retail price of about $325. Users who wish to opt for a subscription plan can do so at $14 per month for a two-year contract. The first 3,000 buyers will also be receiving a screen protector and a Bluetooth keyboard, usually worth $45 total, free of charge.
Despite the limited specifications, users can expect a lot more from Windows 10. The OS uses a universal app system that lets devices written for Windows 10 on a PC to conveniently be ported to devices with Windows 10 Mobile. User do not have to worry much about compatibility issues and sophisticated tweaking methods. Furthermore, KnowYourMobile revealed that Windows 10 Mobile will also make it more convenient for developers to port iOS and Android apps to Windows 10 Mobile. There will be more quality apps available as a result of this change. The Continuum is also another main feature in Windows 10, which allows devices to be used as an ad hoc PC. The new OS also features the new EDGE web browser, a new photo app and an improved keyboard, among others.
