The DoCoMo Summer 2012 collection is now official, and the AQUOS PHONE st SH-07D – which many had hoped would be a flip phone, based on the screen size and resolution specs leaked before the official announcement – turned out to be a compact, mid-range, sports-focused Android slab. The “st” in the model name refers to its sports-oriented design.

The screen measures a rather humble 3.4 inches and has an FWVGA resolution of 854 × 480 pixels. An eyelet on the bottom right corner gives the phone an uncanny resemblance to the Sony Xperia Active, another compact, ruggedised smartphone aimed at active users.

The AQUOS PHONE st SH-07D is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255 processor clocked at 1 GHz, accompanied by 1 GB of RAM. Built-in storage amounts to 4 GB.

It runs Android 4.0 and comes with the usual selection of Japanese keitai features, including water and dust resistance, One Seg, infrared, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and mobile wallet functionality.

The SH-07D features an 8 MP CMOS camera with autofocus and an LED photo light. It supports face detection and macro photography, with still images captured at up to 3264 × 2448 pixels. Video recording is available in 1280 × 720 HD at up to 30 fps, with autofocus also available while recording. There is, however, no image stabilisation, and the phone has no front-facing camera.
