Toshiba REGZA T-02D smartphone launches in Japan: 'New AMOLED Plus' display, old resolution

[![Toshiba REGZA T02D smartphone launches in Japan 'New AMOLED Plus' display, old resolution][1] ][2]

Confusingly [announced by Fujitsu][3], the Toshiba [Regza T-02D][4] will settle into a wall of similarly bright-colored, good-looking smartphones in NTT DoCoMo stores starting this week. The (Japan-only) phone's 4.3-inch OLED screen holds onto a middling qHD resolution, but Fujitsu says its "new AMOLED Plus technology" will apparently render in higher clarity than any of its preceding smartphone displays -- we'll wait to see it in action before coming to any conclusions. There's no word on who's behind the dual-core 1.5GHz processor, but Xi connectivity (how Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo brands its LTE provision) makes a Qualcomm chipset likely. Fujitsu is also pushing the phone's 'human-centric' Android skin, like what we saw on its own [quad-core slab][5]). This involves a collection of UI tweaks to the base Android 4.0 OS, including Intellicolor, where the phone will sense the color of ambient light and tweak the display accordingly. The phone's 13.1-megapixel camera reaches an impressively high ISO level of 25600, running on Sony's back-illuminated Exmor R sensor, while Fujitsu's also channeled the ghost of the original [Motorola Atrix][6], resurrecting a fingerprint unlock sensor. Other features worth mentioning include high-definition [NOTTV][7] compatibility, plus certified water and dust resistance. As is expected from the world of Japanese smartphones, there's a selection of colors too -- the T-02D will be available in Pink, Black and Blue from launch. Japan residents wondering exactly _which_ company made the phone can try to get their head around the full release below.
