The first of SoftBank's Summer 2013 collection, the AQUOS PHONE SS 205SH, comes with a "small" 4-inch screen with FWVGA resolution of 854 × 480 px, and a width of just 60 mm.

Its most pronounced feature is a dedicated button for measuring radiation (remember the 107SH).

The 205SH is powered by a dual-core MSM8960 clocked at 1.5 GHz, and comes with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of built-in memory. It runs Android 4.1.

The shooter on the smallest member of the Summer 2013 collection is nevertheless an impressive 13.1-megapixel CMOS one with autofocus and shake reduction, while the inner camera is a humble 0.3 MP.

Further features include, as usual, a water- and dust-resistance, OneSeg TV, Bluetooth 4.0, Infrared, mobile wallet (FeliCa), and Wi-Fi a/b/g/n.

The phone supports only 4G (AXGP) and 3G frequencies, which means that, considering SoftBank's "no-official-unlock" policy, even if a micro-SIM-sized hypersim is available, it will probably still not work with your foreign SIM card.

The 205SH measures 122 × 60 × 11.9 mm, weighs 119 grams, and comes in silky pink, champagne gold, white, navy blue and black.
