Waterproof phones are becoming increasingly common, but they are far from normal. In Japan, however, almost all of the phone is waterproof, and this phenomenon has appeared in ten years ago. Data show that Japan's 90%-95% phone is waterproof, because people want to use mobile phones in the bath.
Obviously, the Japanese are very dependent on the phone, so that in the bath when the phone with. Manufacturers early on this habit to find the Japanese, in order to make their products into the Japanese market, they had to turn the phone becomes waterproof. The world's first waterproof mobile phone CASIO 502S Canu released in 2005, followed by Fujitsu has released a series of waterproof handheld computer.
Soon after, all the companies that wanted to get into the Japanese market had to make the product waterproof.
Even if the LG and Samsung are generally in the international market does not deliberately produce waterproof mobile phone companies, in order to improve their competitiveness in the Japanese market, have to make changes.
LG global communications director, Hong Ken, said: in the Japanese market, the waterproof function of the battery is more important than the demolition of the function. As South Korea a niche brand, LG needs to strive to fully make their products as much as possible to attract Japanese consumers." This is the reason LG has not yet launched its latest flagship G5 mobile phone in Japan - it can not produce both water and can be a mobile phone, it is not necessary.
Matsushita President Itakura Taro said in 2012: "in Japan, you can't sell a waterproof phone. Now sold on the phone, where 90%-95% is waterproof." Why is this so? The reason is very special: young Japanese women like to use mobile phones in the bath, the mobile phone has become an essential product."
Ohtani Nobuo, vice president of Fujitsu, foreign media AFP said: "we are 24 hours a day with a cell phone, with it on the toilet, to take a shower or use a mobile phone in the rain. Therefore, this requires strong vitality of the mobile phone ah"
So well, no tension, as long as you do not have to take a bath with the point of the phone, you do not want to be so addicted to science and technology.
