No one has forgotten the tragedy that befell Japan last year and the radiation leaks at the Fukushima plant. A year on, things seem to be getting back to normal and it is from Japan now that the world's first radiation sensing smartphone has come, called Pantone 5(107SH). The highlight of this smartphone by Sharp, is its ability to measure radiation in one's vicinity, be it a park or even within one's home, either automatically or manually. To enhance the use of this feature, the smartphone also sports a dedicated button for measuring radiation. On pressing and holding down the button on the smartphone, one can measure radiation (gamma rays) in the 0.05μSv/h to 9.99μSv/h range. As aforementioned, the user can either manually measure it constantly, or if he chooses to can view it automatically displayed on their map history. The smartphone features the Feel UX UI.Click here for full story
