OREANDA-NEWS. Kyocera Corporation (President: Goro Yamaguchi) announced the launch of the 8-inch “Qua tab 01” Android™ tablet for the Japanese market. The product is part of KDDI’s new lineup announced last month.

The Qua tab is a new waterproof and dust-resistant tablet that can be used both indoors and outdoors; and because the touchscreen allows for operation even with wet hands, it can be used in areas with water such as kitchens.

The tablet corresponds to “au Sharing,” which supports users who also possess smartphones, by allowing remote operation of their smartphone screens through their tablets. In addition, “au Basic Home” allows customization of the home screen for easier usage based on the user’s preference, thus offering user-friendliness for first-time tablet users. The product is available in three colors: white, pink and navy.
