K yocera Corporation announce the release of the SA001, the world’s thinnest handset, at 11.9mm, for sliding-face mobile phones that are compatible with One-Seg capabilities for the Japanese domestic “au” carrier. The design of the Kyocera SA001 utilizes the company’s technology for reducing the profile size of handsets as seen in previous Kyocera models such as the W44K and K002, combined with the popular success of the previous W61SA sliding-face handset for the au carrier.

The body of the Kyocera handset employs a hybrid construction of stainless steel and magnesium materials to realize a thin profile while ensuring durability. The Kyocera SA001 mobile phone is designed to enhance the ease of use with smooth movement in the sliding-face, and an easy-to-grip shape. The jog key, in the most frequently used arrow key section, uses smart operability to reduce the amount of finger movements the user must complete.
