InfoSonics® Releases Its First 'Selfie Smartphone' Featuring Front-Facing 5MP Auto-Focus Camera with LED Flash: the verykool® S5015 'Spark II'

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- InfoSonics Corporation (NASDAQ: IFON) announced today the launch of its first selfie-focused verykool® S5015 smartphone. Nicknamed the Spark II, the S5015 features an 8-megapixel high-quality rear camera with dual flash as well as a selfie-friendly 5-megapixel front-facing, auto-focus camera with LED flash.

The Spark II is housed within an ultra-thin 8mm streamlined chassis, powered by a 1.3 GHz quad core processor and equipped with Android 4.4 KitKat. The phone features a 5-inch (1280x720p) HD IPS-LCD display with "one glass solution" and full lamination. Designed to help capture all of life's special moments, the Spark II's auto-focus rear camera has a built-in editor and live view while the front-facing camera includes a pre-loaded application that lets users take hands-free selfies thanks to a whistle-detecting camera.

"According to Twitter, 2014 was officially declared 'The Year of the Selfie', so it was important for us to give our customers a feature that is clearly important to them – the ability to capture the perfect selfie – even in low lighting situations, with a sleek and beautifully designed phone," said Joseph Ram, InfoSonics president and chief executive officer. "Whether at a nightclub, concert or camping under the stars, the Spark II will provide adequate light to ensure correct exposure and sharp details for endless, sharable selfies. It also comes fully accessorized with a Faux leather smart jacket, high-end fidelity headset, UL-certified travel charger and micro USB data cable, screen protector and microfiber cloth. "
