Value more than specs!TONE smartphone charm: SIM

　Tone mobile original terminal "TONE".While MVNO operators are collecting the group, we will review TONE, which is attracting attention to the unique nature of parent functions.

Confirmation of appearance / specifications

　First of all, from the appearance and price of TONE, it is based on the panda of FreeBit, and the price is 24,000 yen.

　5.5 -inch display, weight is about 189g, which is a medium presence.

　On the back, you can see the familiar logo with the T -point card.There is a microUSB terminal and a microphone at the bottom of the terminal, and the earphone terminal is placed at the top.SIM slot on the left side.You can put two SIM cards in the dual SIM, but one is limited to GSM and cannot be used in Japan.On the right side is a microSD slot, a volume key, and a power key.

　The back has a speaker, camera and flash.Be careful not to hit the camera because the camera is popping out a little.Overall, the design is orthodox, so I thought it would be accepted in a wide range of ages from children to the elderly.

　The details of the specifications are as follows.


モデル名	TONE
RAM/ROM	1GB/4GB
外部ストレージ	microSD（最大32GB）
ディスプレイ	5.5インチ qHD（960×540）
サイズ/重さ	151×77.5×9.5約189g
バッテリー容量	2,500mAh
カメラ	メインカメラ：800万画素インカメラ：200万画素
周波数帯	GSM:850/900/1800/19003G:800/850/1900/2100
Wi-Fi	IEEE 802.11 b/g/n

　The specifications are not high even if you consider the reasonable body price.Especially 5.The 5 -inch QHD resolution display was not good compared to the latest color.The communication method is only 3G that is not compatible with LTE.Although it does not feel extremely slow when you use it, it is expected that the 3G will switch to LTE in the future, so I am wondering how it will change in the future.

Focus on uniqueness, not specifications

　If you look at the specifications, if the G02 is the same price range, if you increase the budget of 10,000 yen in addition, there are cheap smartphones such as Huawei P8lite and ZenFone 2 Laser.However, TONE has many unique functions, creating a different charm from other manufacturers' smartphones.

　I feel the enthusiasm from the original home screen.The left is the normal home screen "style", and the right is "Teen" for kids.The stylish design is focused on only the necessary functions, so that the kids can enjoy the apps to combine a puzzle.

　In addition, there is a general Android default home screen, and a home screen such as "simple" that makes operation easier.

　There is a setting that does not work unless it is pushed in strongly like DOCOMO's "Easy Smartphone", so you can tune so that you cannot do touch operation unless you check the "smartphone touch valid".

　Many of the beginners of smartphones often encounter an accident that "touches the screen unintentionally and malfunctions", which is caused by improving the performance of the touch panel.By using this setting, such mistakes can be avoided.

　The uniqueness is not only in the screen, but also in coupon services that make use of the strengths of the TSUTAYA series.It is an attractive campaign for those who use TSUTAYA and T -point cards, such as rental free tickets and t -points.However, since it is a limited -time campaign only for TONE stores, I would like to expect continuous implementation in the future.The key to the game is how MVNO can propose uniqueness to users.TONE may still grow by utilizing the name recognition and penetration rate of "TSUTAYA" and "T point".

　I would like to touch on TONE's proud function "TONE Family".Although it is a free optional service, it is possible to set up location information, restrict the application installation, and limit the usage time zone.It is quite safe from the parent's point of view that you can prevent children who use too much or not contact harmful apps in advance.If you actually use it, you will be able to understand it.It is definitely the strongest as a parental control.

　The unique function of the Tone family is the "Air Knock Function".Launch the app, specify the opponent, and then knock the door to "Concon", and reach the opponent.I felt that it was a service that could make communication trigger, such as "Can you reply now?"I felt that it would be interesting to say hello with knock, as the communication on mobile phones and smartphones shifted from email to chat and became "light".

Expectations in the future

　Although the specifications are not high, TONE feels strongly the vision and future potential of their own service.If a high -spec device appears in the future, it will be a gold stick for the demon as the user options increase.I look forward to expanding the lineup.We will continue to pay attention to TONE, which has a solid presence, such as a partnership with TSUTAYA and T points and parent functions for families.
