KDDi’s au on Monday unveiled four new smartphone handsets for summer. Popular young actress Ayame Goriki and pop singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu joined the event.

The AQUOS PHONE SERIE smartphone, to be released in late July, allows you to use it for 3 days straight without recharging because of the energy-saving IGZO LCD and large capacity 3,080mAh built-in. Also, its camera needs only 0.4 seconds to be ready to take a photo, which is the quickest among smartphones. Since the top of class F1.9 bright lens is featured, you can take natural looking photos without the flash in mostly dark places.

Its handleability has increased and it has some interesting functions like Shake Off that turns off the display by shaking the smartphone, Bright Keep that keeps the display light while you hold it, and Finger Step & Voice Awake that activates an app by tapping the smartphone and you can activate the app you want to use by saying its name.

The URBANO L01 smartphone, to be released in late June, has a 2,700mAh battery which is able to be fully charged in only 140 minutes. Although the size of the body is about the same as the previous model, the size of the display increased from 4 inches to 4.7 inches.

It’s got some user-friendly functions, for example, you can set the Entry home display which displays letters and icons in a bigger size. The Smart Sonic Receiver function is useful as well – it makes the voice of the person who you are talking to on URBANO L01 clear in a noisy place.

The XPERIA UL, to be released May 25, has a large 5-inch high-resolution display with Direct Touch (for better touch accurately) built-in. Its camera features Sony’s CMOS image sensor Exmor RS for mobile and is 13 million pixels. One of the notable camera functions is Continuous Shooting Mode that enables you to take 15 photos per second without any limit (within memory capacity).

The HTC J One, to be released around early June, is slick and smooth “Full metal” aluminum and has a rounded back, making it easier to hold.

Compared with regular smartphones, its 13-million pixel camera has a 300% increased uptake of light and a 50% reduction of noise. Its new “HTC Zoe” camera mode can take 20 photos in 4 seconds and can take 3 seconds of full HD video at the same time, allowing you to capture the best possible image.

There are Dual Front Speakers built-in in giving the HTC J One impressive, real sound.

As a smart phone accessory, au offers HTC J One mini that can be a cordless handset of the HTC J One, able to be paired by NFC or Bluetooth and is available for 9,800 yen. You can also trigger the camera shutter or check messages with HTC J One mini. A 6,000mAh large capacity portable charger HTC Battery Bar will also be available (9,000 yen).
