Kyocera Echo, two screens with a lot of sense

As expected, the dual-screen phone signed by the Japanese company Kyocera has been presented, and although not directly influence us to be a model for the American market you're going to submit for the originality of its approach. The Kyocera device name is Echo. As you see in the images we are faced with the first phone with dual touch screen, leaving aside the Samsung Continuum in which the second screen was virtually SuperAMOLED testimonial, given its size and scope of operation.

The size of each is 3.5 inches, which together produce the 4.7-inch screen and 800 × 960 pixel resolution. I talk to join because the phone opens like a book and both parties are aligned, have a look at this video: When the phone is closed you can use as a conventional touch device, but when opened comes into play a system apparently worked quite which the contents of the screens interact.

Three modes of operation: The operating system behind it is Android in its version 2.2, and developers can get juice from the possibilities of the double screen, the operator Sprint and Kyocera have prepared development tools. In the process we have a first generation Qualcomm Snapdragon, 1 GHz, in particular the model QSD8650.

It's the same chipset that we saw in the Nexus One, for instance known. Sincerely Adreno GPU 200 may be a bit short for next generation applications and carry out both screens with ease, time and testing will tell. Another detail that has been criticized after his presentation is the non-use of 4G connectivity of the American operator (it has a major WiMAX network.) What is certain is that the idea is very interesting to perform with more modern hardware, such as the already burgeoning mobile dual-core, where multitasking and processing power would marry well with the two screens.

As you will suppose the Smartphone has complicated its way out of the U.S. market, the manufacturer Kyocera is the catalog of European carriers, nor the firm works its mobile phone division in our country, so it looks like it will stay with idea to give us the images and videos of operation.
