en.Wedoany.com Reported - NTT docomo announced on the 29th that it will release the high-durability phone "DuraForce EX2 KC-S704," manufactured by Kyocera, from late September, with sales at all docomo stores.

The "DuraForce EX2 KC-S704" is a Japan-made smartphone, with planning, manufacturing, and repair support all completed domestically in Japan. Its features include a barcode reading function that uses an integrated LED aimer for targeting, a hot-swappable battery specification that allows battery replacement while the device is powered on, and high durability meeting 21 items of the U.S. MIL standard (MIL-STD-810H). The product has also passed foam hand soap cleaning tests.

The body is equipped with two "Direct Buttons" that can be set to launch apps or answer calls, and features a "Glove Touch Function" that allows operation while wearing work gloves. To meet on-site needs for reduced battery consumption and radio interference, the device includes a headphone jack.

As Japan's first smartphone, the DuraForce EX2 KC-S704 supports the new Wi-Fi standard "Wi-Fi HaLow" (IEEE 802.11ah) using the 920 MHz band. Even without traditional Wi-Fi networks or 4G/5G lines, it can connect to devices supporting Wi-Fi HaLow or communicate between two DuraForce EX2 units.
