2011 was the heyday of Android mobile phones. The launch of Galaxy S II established Samsung’s status as the big brother of Android until today. At the same time, HTC’s Incredible S also debuted, which was also a temporary choice; the iOS camp was built by Jobs himself. , launched the iPhone 4, the classic iPhone 4. In the summer of this year, Japan’s Sharp launched a folding mobile phone with Jiugongge buttons and an Andriod system.
In 2011, in the “Galapagosization” (referring to the situation of escaping the law of survival of the fittest in an isolated environment and unable to adapt to external competition) in the Japanese mobile phone market, a large part of the country’s people are still using foldable feature phones . At this time, under the threat of the iPhone, Japanese mobile phone manufacturers and telecom operators at the crossroads of life, in order to break through the predicament, launched a foldable phone with a “nine-square” keyboard and a smart foldable phone running Android. For Sumake (short for Smart Ketai). Sadly, this is the first and last Japanese foldable smartphone with flagship specs.
Top flagship configuration + glasses-free 3D
Softbank 007sh is the flagship mobile phone launched in the summer of 2011 by the Japanese telecommunications company Softbank and Sharp. The appearance inherits Sharp’s consistent clamshell and rotating screen design, so that the phone can be used like a traditional clamshell, or folded and used as a normal straight-screen phone. This can be said to be the ultimate perfection of mobile phones that people might imagine back then. type.
The phone uses a 3.4-inch LCD touch screen with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels. Although the screen is not fully bonded, the overall color performance is still very good so far. In the era when naked-eye 3D was popular, this mobile phone also provided the function of naked-eye 3D. Not only can you watch 3D content, but you can also shoot 3D images through the camera.
▲The screen of the mobile phone can be turned to the back, and the rear camera can be used to take selfies, which is really a genius design
Domineering CCD 1600 pixel camera, supports 3D photography
In the era when the iPhone 4 was equipped with 5 million pixels, the camera specification of 007sh has a feeling of passing through the times. It has a 16 million pixel CCD photosensitive element (CMOS was not yet available at the time), and it has 3D shooting, auto focus, face tracking, Ultra-high specifications such as anti-shake, HD video recording, etc.
▲The domineering big-eyed lens design is not outdated even now
Softbank 007sh adopts the latest Andriod 2.3.3 system at that time (but no update has been pushed since then), equipped with Qualcomm MSM8255 1.4 GHz single-core processor, 512 RAM + 1GB ROM. In addition, the One Seg TV, infrared transmission (files and photos can be transferred), HDMI output, electronic wallet, waterproof and dustproof that must be supported in Japan are all available. You don’t think these functions look good now, but if you think regarding it, that was 12 years ago.
12 years later, prices are still strong
I bought this mobile phone on China’s Xianyu second-hand platform. The price is regarding 20,000 yuan in Taiwan dollars, which is regarding the same as the selling price back then. The mobile phone is brand new and unused, not to mention all the accessories, even the stickers on the mobile phone are still there, which is very valuable for collection.
Japan actually implemented an environmental protection policy in the early years, and did not provide additional accessories such as chargers, but because it is a waterproof model, it still comes with a charging stand.
▲There are only mobile phone, charging stand, manual, Mircro USB cable in the box
▲In order to assist recycling, Japanese mobile phones all use a unified box, so the box of each mobile phone is the same
▲The appearance of charging the mobile phone on it is really handsome
▲The charging stand must be used with this kind of plug commonly used by the Japanese at that time, so that people can continue to use the old charger without buying a new one
▲I bought the version that has been decompressed, which can be used directly following inserting the card, but it does not support 4G network
▲Mobile phone interface has undergone major rectification by Softbank and Sharp. It can be operated through the keyboard, of course, it can also be directly selected by touch
▲This system is really well modified, and it is very smooth to control and type with the keyboard
▲It may be that there are too many parts of the system customization, so that a subsequent update has not been launched
Galapagos Market
Seeing this, I don’t know if you have noticed a problem. Although this mobile phone is made by Sharp, there is no Sharp Logo on the whole body. The reason is that in the Japanese mobile phone market back then, operators had considerable power. Mobile phone specifications, product orientation, and systems were all determined by operators. Compared with other countries, mobile phone manufacturers had much less say. Carriers have too many means of production, which makes mobile phone manufacturers unable to adapt to market changes and quickly respond to market demand. I think this is also an important reason why the Japanese mobile phone market will become Galapagos.
▲Only the logo of the operator Softbank is printed on the fuselage
▲ Simple notifications can be viewed on the external screen, and the color of the LED notification next to it can also be set by yourself. The design idea is in line with today’s Flip folding machine
Wrong timing, right phone
Japanese mobile phone manufacturers back then possessed a large number of advanced technologies and technical patents, and were far ahead of other mobile phone manufacturers in the world. However, when the era of smart phones “attacked by black ships” changed, they smashed their good cards to pieces. It is really a pity. . 007sh is a failed case of trying to change the feature phone, and it is also the end of the entire Japanese mobile phone industry.
