TOKYO —

KDDI is going to release a new “au” smartphone called “Arrows Z” in mid-December and “Arrows EZ” early in January.

The “Arrows Z” contains a 1.2 GHz dual core processor and offers high-speed Internet access through its WiMax. It features a 4.3-inch,  full-color HD display, handwritten input function, it’s waterproof, and has a high quality 13.10-megapixel camera. The “Arrows EZ” is 6.7mm thin and waterproof.

“Arrows Z” comes in four colors: Fine White, Stream Blue, Live Pink and Neo Black.

Actor Haruma Miura appears in commercials for the “Arrows” series. Miura said that he listens to music on his smartphone while he’s taking a bath, so the waterproof function is very convenient.

He said that he can see Mt Fuji from his apartment, so he hopes to take some nice photos with his “Arrows Z.”

The new “Arrows” series commercials will be aired from mid-December.

    high quality 13.10-megapixel camera

    It is not the megapixels, it is the lens. What kind is it?

    I’m really happiness because au has started sell iphone 4s. I want to buy au’s iphone 4s or other smart phone as soon as possible. I want to talk with my friends of other countries by Skype or something. But certainly I can’t be good iphone user… because I have no sense of mechanics.

    Who needs a 13.10-megapixel image from a camera that has a cheap tiny lens.

    They better get some good new models out., the iphone alone won't cut it because Softbank seems to be cheaper and docomo will be selling it also from next summer.

    KDDI is a carrier, not a manufacturer. So the key question: who actually makes this, um, wonderful device?
