Katana
01
A
low-end, Windows 10-powered smartphone will be released next week. Dubbed
Katana 01, the device is manufactured by Japan-based OEM Freetel, and will go
on sale in the country on November 30.
Specs-wise,
the device is powered by a quad core 1.1 GHz CPU, and sports a 4.5-inch (480
pixel resolution) display. It has 1 GB RAM and 8 GB internal memory (expandable
up to 32 GB via MicroSD card), and packs in a 1750 mAh battery.
The
Katana 01 features a 5 MP camera on the back and a 2 MP front shooter. As for the
price, the dual-SIM supporting Katana 01 will carry a tag of JPY 12,800, which
translates into around US$ 105 at current exchange rates.
The
successor to the handset, dubbed Katana 02, is also listed as 'coming soon' on
Freetel's website. It's specifications include 5-inch (1280 x 720 pixel
resolution) display, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB storage and 8 MP camera but there's no saying
when it will come out.
