Samsung’s “GALAXY S4 SC-04E” was highly featured at NTT Docomo’s 2013 summer lineup roll-out.

The camera is 13.2 million pixel. Several interesting functions are included in the “GALAXY S4 SC-04E”: “Sound and Shot” that records sounds while taking a photo, “Keshigomu (Eraser) Mode” that allows you to erase anything you don’t want to include in a photo (like people in the background), and “Dual Camera” where you can use the outside camera and inside camera at the same time.

Other interesting functions include “S Gesture” that enables you to control the phone by moving a hand above the screen and “Smart Pause” that detects when your way of looking at the screen changes and pauses the video that you are watching.

NTT Docomo – Sony XPERIA A SO-04E – Featured at the 2013 “Summer Collection” new product press conference

NTT Docomo - Sony XPERIA A SO-04E - Featured at the 2013 "Summer Collection" new product press conference

“XPERIA A SO-04E” is a smartphone designed with round edges to fit in your palm well with an approx. 4.6 inch (720×1280 dot) LCD. It’s Docomo’s version of XPERIA’s global model “Sony XPERIA ZR”.

If you say XPERIA, you might remember its highly-functional camera. Sony’s CMOS image sensor “Exmor RS for mobile” is featured with “XPERIA A SO-04E” and that makes it strong against backlight. When it’s in sleep mode, it will shift to camera mode instantly by pressing a small bottom on the side so it is harder to miss the moment than with other smartphones when you want to take a photo. This is functionality that we’ve only seen with XPERIA.

It is waterproof and dustproof, and it’s compatible with NFC, infrared data communication, Bluetooth, and wallet phone function.

Release date: May 17
Colors: white, black, pink, mint
Dimensions: 131 x 67 x 10.5mm
