ZTE announced the launch of the unique, waterproof STAR7 Softbank 009Z smartphone in Japan.
The STAR7 Softbank 009Z is a fashionable, easy-to-operate Android 2.3 smartphone. It features a wide 3.8-inch touch screen and takes its inspiration from the solar system, planets and satellites. It is available in a lineup of seven metallic colors: Neptune green, Venus yellow, Mars red, Jupiter pink, Moon white, Saturn black and Earth blue.
The phone’s user interfaces and icons adopt the famous Softbank “father” model and the standby screen can also be set as father walking in the space wearing a spacesuit. The father based live wallpaper comes in eight patterns, for 64 possible total combinations.
Weighing only 152g, the handset is waterproof equivalent to IPX7 without being overly bulky. It also features an emergency earthquake alarm. It also allows users to watch digital TV under the one-segment broadcasting service. Users can enjoy watching TV even if they are holding the handset with wet hands in the kitchen.
