"GZ'one Type-XX" Review One can enjoy Casio Design for restarting

　The legendary tough tough mobile phone has been revived after 10 years. KDDI reviews "G'zone Type-XX" released in December 2021. [Image] Comparison with the predecessor model The G'zone series of the Casio Computer, a comparison machine, has a history of about 12 years from the "C303CA" released in September 2000 to the 2012 smartphone "G'zone Type-L Cal21". It is a brand I have. With the withdrawal of Casio's mobile phone production, its history was once cut off, but was reborn as a 4G LTE mobile phone to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 2020 brand. [Correction: February 16, 2022 At 16:15, the product name of "G'zone Type-L Cal21" was incorrect. I will make corrections. ] The design concept of G'zone Type-XX is, "What if G'zone exists now?" The model name "XX (Double X)" is the 20th anniversary of G'zone Type-X, which appeared as a 10th anniversary model. Since Casio has already withdrawn from mobile phones, Casio has been involved only with some key elements such as the exterior design and wallpaper. The function of a mobile phone is handled by the manufacturer Kyocera.

G'zone users can also exchange for free

　The price of G'zone Type-XX is 52,800 yen (tax included, hereinafter referred to as).If it is a split, it is 1490 yen for the first month + 1466 yen x 35 months.Currently, if you are using au 3G service, a discount of 22,000 yen will be applied for "3G Return (Mobile)".Furthermore, if the current model (registered model under the au contract) is changed from some G'zone series (Type-X Cay01, W42CA, W62CA, CA002), the same amount as the main unit amount is 52,800 yen.Is discounted and can be purchased for 0 yen at a time.

Just like a peaceful G'zone, it looks more beautiful

　At first glance, the styling is exactly worthy of G'zone. If you have been using the G'zone series with attachment, you will see at a glance that it is the development form of G'zone Type-X 12 years ago. However, if you look closely at the details, you can see many parts that reflect the progress of manufacturing technology. For example, the "multi -circle display" on the back, which is a trademark of G'zone, uses a complete circular display. The body-colored liquid green is more shiny and transparent than the Type-X green with new painting technology. The shape of the back panel itself also uses a lot of curves and embodies the image of the "sports car", which is a common concept. In the review, I tried liquid green mainly, but another color, solid black, is also stuck. At first glance, it is a black mobile phone, but it actually incorporates 12 black colors with different textures. If you observe the actual machine well, the matte black, rough texture, black with a gentle texture, and a really delicate color are used. The bottom has a symbol of toughness performance such as waterproofing, impact resistance, frozen resistance, and low pressure resistance. This also follows designs such as G'zone Type-X. Toughness performance is 1.8m drop, waterproof, dustproof (jin), vibration resistance, salt water spray, and freezing -resistant tests are cleared in 19 items. It is the toughest mobile phone so far. By the way, cleaning with foam hand soap and alcohol disinfection are also possible. The display is a 3.4 -inch TFT LCD display. The resolution is 480 x 854 pixels. It is enough resolution to read news sites for smartphones. A center key is placed in the center of the hexagonal cross key. The peripheral edge of the center key has a low -rewelet finish with a fine groove on the metal, so you can enjoy a precise modeling. The numeric keypad uses a circular button as a tribute to the first G'zone (C303CA). The key between the keys is spread, and it is difficult to make a mistake in the button. The button itself is also engraved with a concentric groove, and the stability when the finger touches is also good. Of course, there is a solid click feeling. Under the numeric keypad, two customization keys, "F1" and "F2". Shortcuts such as Outdoor Apps and tethering functions described later are assigned. The external terminal adopts USB Type-C. Although there is a step to remove the waterproof cap, it is convenient to use a laptop or smartphone charger. The back panel uses a screw lock and can be removed using coins. Battery replacement by users is also possible. The side has a shape that hits the thumb, so it is easy to fit when picked up. The manner button on the right side is also used to control the back display, and when clicked, it switches to a clock, notification, temperature, air pressure, etc. The hinge is a little hardened, and it will be a little bigger when opened, but considering the weight of the impact resistance mechanism built into the main unit, it will not be a way.
