NTT Docomo is releasing their new double-screened smart phone “MEDIAS W N-05E” manufactured by NEC CASIO Mobile Communications on April 18 in Japan.
We had the chance to actually touch this new cool smart phone at NTT Docomo’s 2013 spring line-up event in January and wrote about it then.

Docomo has unveiled a dual-screen smartphone, the Medias W. It features two 4.3″ displays, a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU, an 8.1MP camera and runs Android 4.1. It will be released in April 2013.
“This is the MEDIAS W. Ordinarily, you use it folded up, like a regular smartphone. When you want to look at a picture or map, it can open up to become a 5.6 inch screen. So you can read maps or browse the Web easily, and it makes text entry easy, too.”

MEDIAS W – N-05E
This is a really interesting two-in-one gadget. It is like a smartphone that can be converted into a mini-tablet. It has dual screen that can be used when closed or when opened. It acts and feels like a normal phone when closed, but when open, it looks and feels like a mini tablet.
This is one of those interesting gadgets that keeps things interesting. It is fun to use and seems very functional at the same time.
Available from mid-April.

Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo just outed its spring lineup of handsets, and the Medias W N-05E caught or eye, just like it did as a hollow mockup at last year’s Mobile World Congress. The NEC-made handset has gone from a mere plastic shell to an LTE-wielding phone with a pair of 4.3-inch LCD displays (each 540 x 960 in resolution), a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel shooter, 16GB of built-in storage and a microSDHC slot. When open, the device serves up roughly 5.6 inches in diagonal screen real estate, and measures up at 64mm in width when shut. Thanks to the nature of the dual-screened beast, apps can use each screen independently or together to provide more space. Despite the Jelly Bean-toting rig’s penchant for going over the top, it leaves out NFC and Japan-centric digital TV tuner functionality. The smartphone is slated for an April release with an unspecified price tag, but there’s no word on availability in other territories.

[CEATEC 2012] Here is another superlative attached to a tablet from Japanese company NEC – the NEC Medias Tab UL N08-D tablet, which is touted to be the lightest in the world, at least for the 7″ tablet category. Underneath the hood would be Qualcomm’s SnapDragon S4 Plus Krait mobile processor that ought to be speedy enough to get most of the work done, where the NEC Medias Tab UL N08-D tablet will be available from mobile operator NTT DoCoMo in that part of the world. It tips the scales at 249 grams, which translates to 0.54 pounds, whereas its rivals, the Google Nexus 7, Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and Kindle Fire HD weighs 0.74 pounds, 0.76 pounds and 0.87 pounds, respectively.
It measures 7.9 mm thin, while the battery itself carries 3100 mAh of juice. It is said that one is able to clock the SnapDragon S4 Plus SoC from Qualcomm to 1.7GHz without consuming too much juice. Wi-Fi N, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and USB 2.0 connectivity are thrown into the mix, and chances are pretty good the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update will be made available in due time. can’t be too far away. There is no word on pricing or availability, but NTT DoCoMo will sell it from today onwards.

Folded in between DoCoMo R&D prototypes and One Piece-themed smartphones unlikely to make it across the Pacific, NEC’s new Android tablet caught our eye. The 7-inch NEC Medias Tab UL is one very svelte slab. Measuring in at just 7.9mm (0.3 inches) thick and weighing a mere 250g (0.55 lbs), the tablet still manages to house a 3,100mAh battery, and a Snapdragon MSM8960 1.5GHz dual-core processor. If you’d compare it to the Nexus 7, Google’s own effort look a little weighty and thick against this white-finish tablet. Performance from the dual-core chip is also suitably impressive, despite the curious DoCoMo-decked Android skin coating the Ice Cream Sandwich OS.
In true Japanese style, there’s a TV aerial embedded within the side and while it won’t broadcast the crisp high-definition delights of NOTTV, there’s plenty of terrestrial viewing available — if you stay in the Land of the Rising Sun. We were pleasantly surprised with its crisp WXGA screen, which looks to be TFT. The 1,280 x 800 resolution display meant videos and websites looked sharp, while there was barely any color degradation at wider angles. On DoCoMO’s network, users can expect to see download speeds up to 75Mbs, and upload speeds hitting up to 25Mbps. The tablet is now on sale across Japan, but there’s still no word yet on it launching elsewhere.
