Dimitar Dimitrov from PhoneArena provides us with a full review of the recently released Sanyo Katana LX mobile phone. The handset is actually a successor to the Katana II and latest addition to Sanyo’s Katana line. The Katana LX boasts a mirrored finish and hidden OLED outer display. Here is a conclusion.
We have mixed feelings about the Katana LX, mostly hinging on where it sits in tries to fit into the market. By entry level phone standards it is very good; the battery life is excellent, the design is compact and stylish and there are a few different color options. However, it is currently priced at $49.99 on contract, which puts it head-to-head with devices such as the text-friendly LG Rumor and the more capable Samsung M520, both of which we’d have a hard time passing up for the LX. We have a feeling that the LX will drop in price once the Sanyo 3200 is discontinued, which will make it an excellent value for what it offers.

The Japanese concept design community known as Cuusoo has created the Cuusoo concept phone. Designed by the Japan-based designer known as Marimo-san, the concept comes with a detachable display screen that allows users to engage in video phone calls on the go. This is an interesting phone concept. I hope this Cuusoo phone will be available worldwide in the near future. [Cuusoo] More »
