Discover the Unexpected

Experience a phone ringer that knows when it has been heard and when it should ring loudly for your attention. The ringer volume lowers when the G-sensor on your phone detects that the phone has been picked up.

On the other hand, when the proximity sensors detect that the phone is in your pocket or a purse, the ringer volume scales up to ensure that you don’t miss an important call.

Set up calendar appointments, reply to emails, and adjust your phone settings on the interface optimized for use with your fingers.
