23rd February 2005 -SmarTone today launched the
first exclusive SmarTone iN 3G handset – the Sanyo
S103 – with the extra large and sharpest screen
ever for the ultimate visual experience.
“3G brings in a new era of visual communication.
QVGA screen display, mega pixel camera, external
storage and good battery life are fundamental
requirements to deliver the best 3G experience,”
said Mr. Douglas Li, Chief Executive Officer of
SmarTone. “The Sanyo S103, with all of these critical
features, sets a new standard for 3G phones in
Hong Kong.”
With its 2.4” QVGA (240 x 320 pixels) high-definition
colour screen, the S103 displays large and clearest,
grain-free images. The S103 has a 1.3 mega pixel
external camera that supports 8x digital zoom,
with good imaging even in low-light conditions.
It also has a second camera to support easy video
calling.
The S103 is produced to the highest-quality manufacturing
standards in Japan, where each handset is hand-finished
and undergoes detailed inspection before delivery.
Weighing only 121g, it is surprisingly light and
its slim profile fits easily in a pocket.
The S103 also possess two new unique features.
Customers can send pre-recorded audio-visual clips
from the gallery during video calls, sharing with
others instantly. It is also equipped with a viewer
that can scan and zoom photos to see them in greater
detail.

handset, SmarTone is introducing two new unique services.

documents in e-mail attachments, with proper spatial
context. This helps customers save time and work more
efficiently, viewing documents on the move. A new download
service is also introduced with the
S103. Customers can download a series of 12 wallpapers
that are displayed sequentially throughout the day.
Different series of wallpapers are available for downloads,
featuring themes such as artists, pets, natural sceneries,
and many more.
