Unorthodox Windows 10 Mobile shown off in Japan

Welcome to another episode of "Japan gets all the fun phones." We saw the Lumia 950 duo and it had great cameras and such, but the design was pretty plain. A number of makers – including Vaio! – showed off phones running Windows 10 Mobile at an even held by Microsoft Japan.

Note that this was mostly a showcase of prototypes, not production-ready phones. And Vaio, Sony's former PC division, only showed off a non-working dummy, but it's still interesting to see it consider entering the smartphone market while its former parent considers leaving.
