The Sanyo Katana LX is equipped with a high-quality speakerphone, Bluetooth wireless technology, GPS navigation, a VGA camera, and Sanyo’s unique call screening feature. The nifty thing is that while it looks like the Katana LX lacks an external display, it’s actually hiding that info with an OLED outer display. This is similar to some Sony WalkmanMP3 players.
The Sprint Katana LX is the newest member of the Katana line of cell phones - eventually replacing the Katana II. While the other Katanas opted for the slim and wide Razr look, the Katana LX is completely different. Measuring 3.7 inches long by 1.9 inches wide by 0.7 inch thick, the Katana LX is thicker, curvier, with rounded edges and a smooth reflective front surface. The surface is so reflective you could use it as a mirror. It’s not too heavy at 3.4 ounces and has a nice heft in the hand.
