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.
As mentioned the NX F-04G is not a one trick pony, and Fujitsu has made sure that the rest of the specs sheet is up to snuff. It begins by highlighting a 5.2-inch, Quad HD (1440 x 2560) resolution display protected by Gorilla Glass 3, good for the whopping 565 pixels per inch for an ultra-crisp image. We then move onto an octa-core, 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor with Adreno 430 graphics, along with 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage that you can expand upon with the use of a microSD card, and a hearty, 3,120 mAh battery. In terms of imaging, we're looking at a 20.7-megapaixel Sony Exmor sensor at the rear, along with a 2.4-megapixel selfie snapper up front.
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.

If you speak to me, I don't know what you are talking about. Check my comments on this site and you will see that they are usually quite balanced.

After getting banned 5+ times no wonder. I already know you are Sauce5 like I always did so you trying to hide it is beyond funny. If you keep it this way maybe you wont get banned but you should cause of making another account after ban.

Yes you are because you;re wasting your life on bashing Apple under every news, even if it's not Apple related in any way. Maybe it's intentional because you realized that your life is pointless, but nonetheless, I feel sorry for you man that this is your hobby

In 2015 any phone that comes out with a selfie camera lower than 5mp the CEO should be dragged through the street by his pinky toe!

I would buy this phone if I could flash Windows 10 mobile onto it. The specs are very nice and similar to the upcoming Lumia 940/950. It would be nice to see a comparison article between the two after the 940/950 is announced and specs are released officially.

NOPE.
Editors was very excited to spreading "news" too quickly. . .
Docomo's ARROWS NX F-04G was "MOMENTANEOUS STOPPED to sales by malfunctions/overheating/suddenly shut downing/cameras freezes.
I can,post link,so searching by ARROWS NX F-04G in Docomo's site everyone can read in blood red font: "一時販売停止"
Whatever is happening all the guilt is due Snapdragon 810 + Adreno 430 very very poor CPU trolling features. lol
