Monsters from Asia: the Fujitsu Arrows NX F-04G and the world's first iris scanner

While it's no secret that we're fans of Japanese Sharp's work when it comes to smartphones, another local vendor is also well worth our attention: Fujitsu. Indeed, its new Arrows NX F-04G is not only a decidedly flagship-level device, but also the first to hit the market with an embedded iris scanner.

We're not finished with the Android Lollipop-toting new Arrows series flagship, however. Like any self-respecting Japanese handset, the NX F-04G is IP68-certified, meaning you can safely peruse whilst taking a bath. The device also flaunts LTE Advanced connectivity, quick charging, Bluetooth 4.1, 5GHz Wi-Fi, and support for MHL. For all of this, Fujitsu is asking for the equivalent of $750 full retail, so long as you're a local subscribed to DoCoMo.
