KDDI and Kyocera introduce world's first phone you can wash with soap - Digno Rafre
Waterproof phones are nice for hygiene since you can always give them a light wash. KDDI and Kyocera went a step further and introduced the Digno Rafre – the world's first soap-proof phone. That's right, you can use soap to make sure the phone is as clean as it looks.
The Rafre has been specifically rated for hot water resistance at 43° (hot water is not included in the usual IP ratings, of which the Rafre has IP58). And, and!.. it comes with a rubber ducky dock, which floats in the bathtub. "Netflix and chill" just got waterborne. Or, you know, kids can play with it, or something.
The Digno Rafre comes in Navy Blue, Cashmere White and Coral Pink. The touchscreen will work even when wet and it's guarded by Dragontrail X glass against accidents. The phone itself is shock-proof (MIL-SSTD-810G) to survive its young potential owners.
The specs include a 5" 720p screen, Android 5.1 Lollipop, 2GB of RAM and 16GB storage (with a microSD slot) and a 13MP camera. It supports 4G LTE and WiMAX plus VoLTE and its 3,000mAh battery should last over 20 hours of VoLTE calls.
Windows 10 ROM now available for Xiaomi Mi 4 LTE
As promised, Microsoft has released the Windows 10 ROM for the LTE variant of the Xiaomi Mi 4. The ROM is part of Microsoft's Windows Insider program and although stable enough to be installed could have some bugs still.
The ROM currently is only compatible with the LTE variant of the device and it is not recommended to install it on any other variant. Once installed, you can expect the full Windows 10 experience devoid of any Xiaomi influence as this is coming straight from Microsoft.
