InfoSonics Launches New Affordable Water Resistant R13 Phone
InfoSonics Corporation (NASDAQ:IFON – News) today announced the launch of its new verykool® R13 active lifestyle handset.
“Our design team developed the new verykool® R13 as an extension of our strategy to focus on delivering a full line of active lifestyle phones,” said Joseph Ram, the company’s president and chief executive officer. “Today’s cell phone users take their phones everywhere, and they are often subjected to adverse environmental conditions, especially in our target markets. We are working to deliver a line of phones with industrial designs that make them easy to grip and are built to be water and shock resistant to withstand the accidental conditions that sometimes befall them. Our first phone in this line was the verykool® R80. We believe the new R13 is one of the first phones to offer this combination of ruggedized features, style, colors and functionality at such an affordable price. We are hopeful that the R13 will become a high volume seller as consumers in the emerging markets in Latin America and Asia Pacific recognize the excellent value it delivers.”
The Company noted that the R13 is a 2G bar-type phone with an IPX5 water resistant rating that also has the following features:
- Quad band (850/900/1800/1900)
- 1.8″ TFT LCD screen
- VGA camera with CMOS
- MP3 and FM radio capability
- Bluetooth connectivity
- SMS/MMS messaging
- Micro SD memory expandable to 32GB
- Speakerphone, 64 polyphonic ringtones and stereo headset included
The verykool® R13 is available in two versions: a single SIM version for operator customers and a dual SIM version for the open market. Both versions are available now. To watch a video and learn more about the device, visit our verykool® website at http://www.verykool.net/Phones/R13.
