The URBANO PROGRESSO (model number: KYY04) is an Android slate-style smartphone manufactured by Kyocera for the URBANO series line on Japanese telecommunications carriers au (KDDI) and Okinawa Cellular Telephone Company. It supports CDMA 1X WIN and +WiMAX connectivity. As the first domestic Japanese smartphone for au to feature Android 4.0, it was developed based on the existing DIGNO ISW11K and officially carries the DIGNO brand logo. Instead of a traditional earpiece speaker ("speaker-less"[1]), the device uses Smart Sonic Receiver technology,[2] which utilizes a ceramic piezoelectric transducer to vibrate the display glass and transmit sound directly through tissue and bone. This marked the world's first implementation of tissue-conduction tissue/vibration sound technology on a smartphone, allowing clarity even in noisy conditions or through headphones. The phone features a 3.97-inch OLED display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, a 1,500 mAh battery, a 2 GB microSD card in the box, and support for microSIM cards (au IC Card). Features localized for Japan include 1seg TV tuning, Osaifu-Keitai e-wallet support, and IrDA infrared connectivity.
