It may look all shiny and new, but your
smartphone is probably one of the filthiest things
you own. The amount of bacteria and germs it
carries is disgustingly huge, which is probably
why a Japanese company is targeting
germaphobes with the world’s first washable
phone.
The Snapdragon 410 processor, 5-inch android
phone, called Digno Rafre, is all set to be
released in Japan by tech company Kyocera
Telecom this week. Its USP is that it’s
waterproof and soap resistant, so it can be
thoroughly washed under running water.
There’s no risk of water entering the device
because it’s entirely sealed to keep water and
bubbles from getting in. It doesn’t even have a
speaker, relying instead on a Smart Sonic
receiver that transmits sound through vibrations
on the phone’s screen. The built-in 13MP
camera is also waterproof.
Apart from being washable, the phone is also
ideal for kids, for people who are clumsy and
keep dropping their phones everywhere, or like to
take bathtub selfies. It even comes with a
special rubber duck-shaped floating stand.
To wash the phone, the company suggests
gently rubbing soap foam all over it before
thoroughly rinsing it with plain water. And, as an
added bonus, there’s no danger of scratching the
phone, because its plastic back cover is
supposed to be self-healing.
Digno Rafre, which comes with 16GB storage,
2GB RAM, and a 2MP front camera is priced at
¥57,420 (about $467), but it isn’t available for
purchase outside of Japan. The company has
announced no plans of releasing the gadget in
foreign markets, but if interest is high enough,
they might.
Would you buy this washable phone if it
eventually gets to Nigerian market?
