microSDXC Card
Handset supports microSDXC Cards (SDXC-compatible SD
Cards). microSDXC Cards are supported by SDXC-compatible
devices only.
Exchanging Data with Non-SDXC-Compatible
Devices
To exchange data between handset and non-SDXC-
compatible devices, use SD Cards (microSD/microSDHC
Cards) supported by handset and those devices. Inserting a
microSDXC Card used on handset in a non-SDXC-compatible
device may corrupt card data. In such cases, do not format
the microSDXC Card on that device even if prompted to do
so.
Formatting deletes all microSDXC Card data and changes
the file system. The original storage capacity may
be unavailable after formatting. To use a corrupted
microSDXC Card, format it on an SDXC-compatible device.
Save Location
By default, data, including photos and videos taken
with handset, is saved in internal storage. Even with
downloaded commercially-available applications described
as saving data on SD Card, data is saved in internal
storage.
・To save photos and videos taken with handset on SD
Card, insert SD Card before using Camera, then change
save location as follows.

Type-C plug is inserted while it is wet, liquid (tap water,
beverage, sea water, pet urine, etc.) or a foreign object
adhered to handset or a charger plug/USB Type-C plug may
cause overheating, burnout, fire, malfunction, burns, etc.
due to electric shock, short-circuiting, etc.
Handling Cords

sensor correctly) depends on conditions of use. Saving
your fingerprint may be difficult if finger is in any of
the following conditions. Washing/wiping hands, using
different finger, saving a wider area, etc. may improve
capability.
- Wrinkled with moisture (e.g., after a bath)
- Wet with water, sweat, etc.
- Dry
- Covered with handcream, etc.
- Stained with mud or oil
- Rough or damaged (cut, sore, etc.)
- Fingerprint is faint (finger surface is worn)
- Fingerprint is deformed due to weight gain or loss
- Finger surface condition at the time of authentication
is extremely different than when fingerprint was saved
・Fingerprint authentication technology does not guarantee
successful personal authentication/verification. SoftBank
Corp. is not liable for any damages resulting from use
of handset by third party or lost opportunities to use
handset.

Using VoLTE/VoLTE (HD+)
VoLTE (Voice over LTE) is a system enabling voice calls over
LTE networks. Compared to voice calls over conventional 3G
connections, high-sound quality calls and reduced time until
ringtones sound are possible. VoLTE (HD+) provides a clearer
and more natural quality call than conventional VoLTE.
・VoLTE/VoLTE (HD+) are available when the counterpart
model is respectively a VoLTE- or VoLTE (HD+)-compatible
model from SoftBank/Y!mobile. In addition, it is necessary
for both handset and the counterpart model to be within
