On deck at the Kyocera CTIA booth, we came upon one peculiar looking Kyocera smartphone that was distinctively lacking a typical earpiece. Specifically, this prototype unit demonstrated Kyocera’s tissue conduction technology, which essentially replaces a phone’s earpiece, and instead relies on a ceramic transducer. At first, it seem like a foreign thing, but after placing the handset up to our face, like we normally would, we’re actually able to hear the looping audio file running on the handset.
