In addition, the release date for the feature phone "Simple", which was announced at the end of November last year and subsequently postponed, has been revealed. The release is scheduled for this summer, and the price is 5980 yen.
Mr. Masuda revealed that the reason for the delay in the release of "Simple" was that he had trouble with Japanese support for the original OS used by "Simple". As one of them, the response when inputting the semi-voiced sound (papipupepo) was poor, and it was said that modifications were made to improve it.
For "Priori 2", an upgrade to Android 5.0 (Lolipop) was announced. It will be available in the near future.
Furthermore, the foldable smartphone "Galaho" (Galaho, tentative name) equipped with Android was announced. "Garaho" is a terminal that runs Android while maintaining the shape of a feature phone, and is also compatible with Google Play. As for the release date, "this winter at the earliest" (Mr. Masuda).
