Japan's NTT DoCoMo is set to launch the world's lightest and thinnest phone in November, but the upcoming device will not feature the familiar features of smartphones.
The phone, announced at a press conference on Wednesday, will be too small for the user to put in a pocket wallet, according to the Japan Times.
"Some people like big screen phones because they are fond of the benefits of video and games, but many people on the other hand want simple, light devices, so they carry them effortlessly," said Kazuhiro Yoshi Zawa, director of the Japanese company.
He added that this is what prompted the company to develop a small device with simple benefits that meet the need of people who want to only make calls and see the messages and surf the Internet from time to time.
The phone has a screen size of 2.8 inches. The device does not have a camera lens and does not have a headphone jack. The main advantage of this phone is its weight not more than 47 grams and the thickness is only 5.3 mm.
The weight of this Japanese phone is very light when compared to modern devices have been put forward, the weight of the phone, "iPhone XS," for example, up to 177 grams.
Technology experts believe that privacy and social platform addiction issues are driving an increasing number of people to buy simple phones called "stupid" to limit their use to the required level of service.
Dokomo said the price of the phone was very competitive and would hit 32,000 yen, or about US $ 284, nearly a quarter of the price of the new iPhone.
