Tone Mobile is the newest "kakiyasu smartphone", smartphone for people on a budget. The Tone e20 is priced at 19,800 yen and has a 6.26 inch display, 64 gigs of storage, and a triple lens camera. It also comes with "smartphone protection". That's not to protect the phone from damage, but a way to protect the user. An AI system works with the camera. After a photo is taken, the smartphone protection analyzes the picture to check if it is "inappropriate". It won't allow you to take naked selfies. If you try to, the camera will give you an error message that the image will be discarded without being saved.

I think any kind of selfies are over rated.
What are the words to that song, 'You're so vain' Some people think the world revolves around them.
A good idea for people who buy phones for their children when they are younger.
Probably good for a kid. Trust me. No way I'm taking a naked selfie!
If I took a naked selfie, the phone would probably break!!!
I see how some people would think this is a great protection. It is for children for sure. BUT...their is always a but isn't there, even though I don't take naked selfies I reject the government controlling how I use my phone.
My vote is No Way.

Very good idea I think.
I agree with Carol - shades of Big Brother here. Good for a phone you are buying for a child but you should be able to turn it off. xx
An interesting concept. Not something I'd need, but I can imagine situations where it'd be handy to have. I agree with Carol and Lin, though, would be better if you could turn it on and off at wish (maybe with some extra-PIN that you don't tell to your kids!)
