Linz, Austria – In today’s fast-paced world, accidents can happen in a split second. One moment of inattention and a mobile phone can fall to the floor, resulting in costly damages. According to German digital association bitkom, the most common type of damage to smartphones is a broken screen, accounting for 77% of cases, followed by a damaged casing at 41%.
In response to this issue, European smartphone company emporia is launching the emporiaSMART.8 on July 15, 2026. This revolutionary new device is the world’s first 5G smartphone to come equipped with screen and casing protection as standard features.
The emporiaSMART.8 boasts several innovative features designed to keep the device safe and functional at all times. Firstly, the phone comes with a patented emporia Smartcover that provides all-around protection and allows users to operate key functions even with the cover closed. Additionally, the device is fitted with rubber protectors at the corners, providing extra protection even when the Smartcover is not in use.
In the event of a broken display within the first twelve months of purchase, emporia offers a display warranty. This means that the company will cover the full cost of replacing the high-quality OLED screen, as well as the cost of working hours and transport.
The emporiaSMART.8 also boasts a 6.36-inch high-performance OLED screen and runs on the latest Android 16 version. It features Bluetooth 5.4 technology, ensuring a stable connection to headphones, speakers, or hands-free kits in the car. Additionally, the device is equipped with the ASHA protocol, which allows for high-quality audio streaming directly to a hearing aid.
The user-friendly emporia interface, Info Centre, is also included in the emporiaSMART.8. This feature consolidates all notifications in one place, making it easier for users to stay updated. The device also comes with the ’emporiaCOACH’ smartphone training program and a patented No-Panic Button, which quickly calls for help in an emergency.
Wireless charging is another convenient feature of the emporiaSMART.8, making it easy for older individuals to charge their phones in the car. Additionally, for those concerned about their privacy, the device offers the option to store data securely on a 512-gigabyte SD card.
The emporiaSMART.8 is available for purchase online at emporiamobile.com and Amazon, with a recommended retail price of 499 euros.
