Japanese Firm NuAns Release Neo Exlusively in Japan at $350

When it comes to Windows phones, the first name a smartphone user takes is of Microsoft who has recently shifted under this segment. It had always been known to design Operating Systems and other stuff but, never phones. The recent advancement in mobile technology forced Microsoft to come up with something unique and, the first thing the desktop users and other smartphone companies saw as a surprise element was the release of Lumia phones based on Microsoft Windows OS.

Taking a step further on the pedestal, just last week Microsoft began selling the Lumia 950, the first mobile phone to come up with Windows 10 operating system after the OS gained popularity among the desktop version. The software of the phone is quite reliable but as it happens, the hardware showed some glitches which actually hampered the popularity and reduced the overall sale of this recently launched Lumia phone.

To keep up with the competition, Japanese firm NuAns is gearing up to launch a sleek handset rumored to be called as Neo and would make for a nice alternative to the Lumia device. This Japanese handset Neo is apt for those users who are comfortable to overlook the design factor over customizability. On the design fronts, it sports an interchangeable upper and lower half that can be swapped out in 64 possible combinations quite easily unlike other models. The phone includes a 5-inch, 1,280 x 720 display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 processor and 16GB of storage which is expandable via microSD slot. The phone is set to sell at a price of $350.

The only issue which a common user would face while purchasing this handset is that: it's exclusive to Japan. So, if the customer wants to buy one for himself, he has to fly over to Japan and, if that's not possible then the only alternative is to customize the smartphone that is available in the market.
