BenQ handsets are not that popular as BenQ wishes but they still do win awards. The company has just unveiled a new smartphone that won the iF Product Design Award 2009. A little early for a phone to win an award for the whole 2009, but we’re going to give it the benefit of the doubt.

The Royal is a candybar which is said to be “a smart phone with powerful functions including a personalized interface and internet live messenger to make both mobility and communication easier”. The phone comes with a touch-sensitive area behind the main screen which will let you turn ebook pages and browse photo and music files. We don’t have all the details yet and there’s no info on pricing and availability dates. Would you be interested in the Royal?
