Kyocera's ZioTM smartphone

Kyocera has released the compact and lightweight Zio™ smartphone, which features an Android™ OS and a 3.5-inch high-resolution WVGA touchscreen. Zio™ supports CDMA2000 1.EV-DO Rev.A wireless communications, as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and it has been sold to consumers in North America since August 2010.

 In addition to touchpanel convenience, operability is enhanced on this model thanks to touch-sensor buttons at its base, conventional call and hang-up buttons, and an intuitive trackball for navigation. Zio™ also features a 3.2-megapixel camera as well as handy and easy-to-use widget applications such as YouTube™ and Google Maps™. This stylishly designed phone measures 116 x 58.6 x 12.2mm and weighs only 105g, making it one of the lightest, thinnest Android devices in the world. Kyocera is committed to expanding its Android™ smartphone lineup to further enhance its communications business operations.
