When the terminal is turned on water with the camera activated, it switches to underwater mode automatically, and it is possible to take a beautiful underwater photograph optimizing color taste and distortion. Also, in addition to the saltwater-compatible performance of the old terminal, since we are implementing the seawater resistance performance for the first time in the world, it seems to be useful in seaside leisure etc. in the coming summer season.

You can see the state of taking TORQUE in water with a vanity in the following movie.

Compare the photos taken underwater using a waterproof terminal. The top is TORQUE, the bottom is TORQUE and the same as Kyocera's waterproof terminal "DIGNO". TORQUE shows overwhelming underwater shooting performance due to the vividness of the picture and little distortion and blurring. Furthermore, when putting TORQUE into seawater, it is possible to reach up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 m.


Because it is waterproof, it is possible to wash the main body when it gets dirty.


After taking out from the water you can operate it with wet hands as it is.


TORQUE G02 is scheduled to be released in early July 2015.
