The latest torque is the strongest TORQUE!Looking back on the overwhelming history of toughness evolution from G01 to 5g | Time & Space by KDDI

当時のカタログより

And in the spring of 2021, "TORQUE 5G", which supports 5G for next -generation communication standards, appears.Cleared new foam hand soap cleaning tests and drug resistance tests while inheriting the high durability cultivated in successive models such as waterproof, dustproof, impact resistance, and seawater resistance.TORQUE This is the latest and strongest toughness smartphone with exceptional durability that has cleared 28 tests, which is the largest in the history of TORQUE.

The table below is a summary of the specifications and durability of the past TORQUE (smartphone).It can be seen that it has evolved steadily with each rate.

Looking back at the first "TORQUE G01" to the latest "TORQUE 5G", why does TORQUE stick to toughness so much?Masanori Tsujioka of Kyocera and Communications Business Strategy Department, who was in charge of the product planning of "TORQUE 5G", said this reason.

"TORQUE is a brand that is supported and raised by customers. For the first time, the first chance to purchase TORQUE is that it is better to drop the previously used terminal, submerge, or break it with dust. There are a lot. So, I chose torque, "This time, something that is hard to break." The people will use Torque in the same environment, so they will drop, get wet, and get covered in dust. But, but TORQUE does not break. So it becomes "TORQUE!" And we have deepened our attachment and trust. In the questionnaire to our customers, we request that we want to do this in the next model. We are receiving a lot. We are working on the evolution of TORQUE with the intention of wanting to meet the expectations of those people, want to be more useful, and enjoy it. "

Asami Watanabe of the KDDI Product Planning Headquarters and Product Planning Department involved in the development of au smartphones says:

"AU has a variety of smartphones and mobile phones according to customer needs, but TORQUE is a popular model with many passionate fans who continue to use it.——In many people who say so. The latest toughness smartphone “TORQUE 5G” is a product that allows you to feel a new evolution while keeping the extraordinary strength of TORQUE.However, it is an attractive product that can be recommended with confidence even for those who have not known TORQUE, such as special coloring and collaboration models that shine, so I would like you to pay attention.

About 7 years since the birth of the first generation.TORQUE has improved toughness performance with each other, but the passionate desire to use a smartphone with confidence in every field has been steadily inherited by the latest "TORQUE 5G".
