Computex: Fujitsu Arrow Z ISW13F

Here’s another Tegra 3 Android smartphone we’ll never get to see in the Philippines but the Fujitsu Arrow Z ISW13F looks like the most feature-packed smartphone we’ve ever seen here in Computex.

This handset comes in a fairly large 4.6-inch 720p display running a quad-core 1.5GHz Tegra 3 processors. The design looks very industrial with solid sharp lines and a bit of heft.

The thin strip for menu buttons at the bottom end reminds me of the Xperia X10 and the Xperia Arc series.

If you check out this list for its hardware configuration, the inclusion of WiMax and 1seg TV tuner is a rarity.

Fujitsu Arrow Z ISW13F specs:
4.6-inch LCD display @ 720p (1280x720pixels)
NVidia Tegra 3 processor 1.5GHz quad-core
1GB RAM
16GB internal storage
up to 32GB via microSD card
WiMax
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 4.0
NFC
13.1-megapixel rear camera w/ LED flash
1080p video recording
1.3MP front-facing camera
FM radio tuner
Infrared
1seg TV tuner
Android 4.0 ICS
1800mAh Li-Ion battery

The plastic built does not give it an elegant feel though. I wasn’t able to make that 1seg TV work either (was just curious if the reception is really clear). Nevertheless, the handset is fast, smooth and responsive.

Sadly though, this unit is only available and compatible in Japan (sold via KDDI au).

If that phone is available here, it may be the First 1seg Smartphone sold in the Philippines.

there’s a lot of nice keitai handsets in Japan, meron yung pwedi underwater, yung detachable and a lot of exotic mobile phones. too bad it’s exclusive for the Jap market. (pwedi naman sigurong i-unlock yan dito, only that 1seg doesn’t work here.

That is not true! 1seg works here in the Philippines.

Try to do DX-ing using an ISDB-T Set Top Box or a 1seg phone and you can get 3 1seg channels.
PTV
GEM TV
ABS-CBN (though with erroneous setup)

ISDB-T is the Digital TV Standard of the Philippines.
