Cellphone operator Softbank yesterday unveiled a smartphone that can measure radiation as consumers in Japan clamoured for reassurance following last year's Fukushima nuclear disaster.
The latest model in the firm's Pantone series has a sensor that enables users to see at the touch of a button how much radiation they are being exposed to.
The phone, on general sale from July, can keep a record of exposure in every location it has been to.
