The new Aquos zero weighs just 146g and has a Technora black reinforced plastic back and a magnesium alloy frame, It will be the world's lightest smartphone with a 6-inch screen and a battery capacity of more than 3000mAh, and support higher water resistance than IPX5.Teiji's Technora para-aramid fiber is eight times stronger than steel and has high heat resistance and impact resistance, making it an ideal material for a wide range of applications in ropes, timing belts, racing seats, as well as car hoods and spacecraft. By adding black pigment to the spinning process, which gives it the weather-resistance brought by color, Technora black is increasingly being used outdoors, such as in firefighting suits and yacht sails.
The use of aramid fiber reinforced plastics facilitates the development of ultra-high-speed advanced mobile devices due to characteristics such as light weight, electrical insulation, and dielectric constant with minimal electromagnetic interference. In addition to many core features, Technora black is particularly suitable for smartphones due to its weather resistance and aesthetics.
