URBANO

―Quality for Your Life―

Reliable robustness against shock and water

• In addition to the water, dust and impact resistant performances of URBANO L03, V01, this model is compliant with durability test standards (MIL-STD-810G) defined by the US Department of Defense in terms of vibration and temperature resistance (high/low) [22]. Therefore, it can be used reliably in the harsh vibrational and thermal conditions.
• The superior impact resistance helps prevent damages to the unit if it is dropped. The thicker rim surrounding the display protects the glass surface of the display.
• Further reinforced glass, "Dragontrail (R) X" is employed in this model as well.

Comfortable voice calls thanks to Smart Sonic Receiver (R)

• Equipped with Kyocera's unique Smart Sonic Receiver (R) technology that vibrates the display together with the sound to transmit the caller's voice. Holding the display to your ear snugly will block ambient noise around you and deliver the caller's voice clearly even in noisy places.
• Equipped with the tone control function that adjusts the tone control parameters in accordance with au VoLTE. This allows you to adjust your preferred tone quality, for instance, softer, more clearly or in an undertone.
• "Slow Talk" is another unique feature which utilizes the silent time slots during a phone conversation and delivers the person's voice you are speaking to slowly as if the person were speaking slowly.

Beautiful, rugged and stylish metal body

• This model is only about 8.2mm thick and uses high-class metallic material on the back face. Colored alumite coating for each body color embodies the simple yet elegant spirit of the URBANO brand. Its smooth curved body surface ensures handiness and a solid operational feel.
• It comes with hard keys made by combining metal with high-quality texture and shiny resin.
• Dedicated covers for this model that encase URBANO's original spirit as well will also be available for sale.

Interface pursues operability.

• If you think of switching your conventional mobile phone to this model, Entry Home (R) will secure the transfer to help you allocate Widget and shortcuts to your favorite applications in the home screen.
• This model provides previous mobile phone users with a soft key function named "Mobile Phone Input" which allows them to input texts in the same way as they are familiar with the key matrix of their mobile phones.
• The front camera is equipped with a 5-megapixel image sensor and wide-angle lens. In addition, since the ISO sensitivity and white balance adjustment have improved from URBANO V01, this model can be used in more lighting conditions.

  [About waterproof, dustproof]

  Be sure the caps are securely fastened. Do NOT immerse the unit in the ocean, or hot spring water. Do NOT place the unit on the sand. IPX5 means that the unit will retain its functionality as a phone even if blasted with water projected at all angles through a 6.3mm inner diameter nozzle at a flow rate of approximately 12.5 liters per minute for more than 3 minutes from a distance of approximately 3 meters. IPX8 means that water will not leak and the unit will retain its functionality as a phone even if gently immersed in a tank of still tap water at room temperature at a depth of 1.5 meters and placed on the bottom for approximately 30 minutes. IP5X means that the unit will retain its functionality as a phone and maintain the safety in use even if placed in an environment of agitated dust for 8 hours and the test dust (diameter of 75µm or smaller) remains in the unit.

  [About impact resistance, vibration resistance, temperature resistance]

  Four types of tests were conducted in accordance with MIL-STD-810G military equipment performance standards defined by the US Department of Defense as follows:
  Shock (free fall): the unit was dropped in 26 different orientations onto a plywood board (lauan, Philippine mahogany) from a height of 1.22 meters.
  Vibration: Conducted for 3 hours total (3 different orientations at frequency of 20 to 2,000Hz for 1 hour/orientation).
  High temperature: Conducted in an operating environment of 50°C for 3 continuous hours and in a storage environment of 60°C for 4 continuous hours.
  Low temperature: Conducted in an operating environment of -21°C for 3 continuous hours and in a storage environment of -30°C for 4 continuous hours. Performances of the unit are verified under the test environment but are not warranted for all actual conditions of use. It does not warrant no damage or no failure in all actual conditions of use, either.
