Explay has started selling its new product - [phone] [1] Explay Crystal. The model, announced at the end of May, is equipped with a transparent color display.
Technology manufacturers have attempted to develop transparent displays for phones many times. Sony Ericsson came closest to the goal. However, her Xperia Pureness phone, released in 2009, had a monochrome display. The price of the device was over $ 1,000. Lenovo S800, presented in spring 2011, never made it to the CIS market. In America, they asked for about $ 500 for a gadget.
And now, the Explay company has released quite workable [phones] [2] with a display that is really capable of transmitting light, adapted for use in the post-Soviet space. The screen is housed in a fairly strong glass shell, framed by a narrow chrome-plated aluminum frame. The TFT display with a diagonal of 2.4 inches has a resolution of 240x320 pixels and supports 232000 colors. Despite the transparent screen, Explay Crystal is easy to use - the image is visible in any light. The developers have provided two types of interface for the phone: classic and animated. Both versions look stylish enough and are quite functional.
On the back, under the screen, there is a 1.3 megapixel camera and a small speaker. The keyboard has large, slightly raised buttons, which are positioned in such a way that the user can freely control the phone with one thumb. As has become traditional for the brand, the device is equipped with two SIM card slots. The body has a built-in USB port and a slot for microSD cards. Bluetooth supported. Among other characteristics, in addition to the camera, the presence of a voice recorder, video and audio players, and an FM receiver is mentioned.
The lithium-ion battery provides 4 hours of talk time and 200 hours of standby time. Explay Crystal has overall dimensions 122x48.3x13.5 mm, weight - 125 g. Due to balanced proportions [phone] [5] the phone fits nicely in the hand. Not too heavy, but not completely weightless either.
Taking into account the experience of its predecessors, Explay has set an acceptable price for its model - $ 200. Due to the original design, rational set of functions and reasonable price, the device is expected to be quite popular among users.
