Main Features
1. Front panel design featuring colored illumination
The front panel has two-color molding, combining a clear material reminiscent of a bottle containing aromatic oil or perfume, with another material in each color. This makes it possible to create a transparent quality. The front panel is also enhanced with a distinctive, subdued, two-color floating illumination at the center. Users can choose from five different colors for the illumination - one for the upper part and another for the lower half. The illumination works in conjunction with the motion sensor, allowing the user to enjoy a range of delightful functions, such as Shake Illumi, which makes different combinations of colors appear in succession when the handset is shaken, and Illumi Drop, which slowly moves the illuminated part downward when the handset is set upright, to make it appear as if a colored shadow were sinking towards the ground. What's more, this function also provides color diagnosis - just choose the favorite color combination using Shake Illumi and visit a dedicated website ^*1 to check the result.
