Review: Kyocera Echo, Android-Phone mit zwei Touchscreens (Videos)

 

Engadget-US hat in einer Review das erste Android-Phone mit Dual Screen, das Kyocera Echo , unter die Lupe genommen. Die zwei Bildschirme machen eine ein wenig plumpe Figur, und wie wir bereits berichtet haben, gibt es bisher nur sieben auf die beiden...

It's not exactly difficult to put into words what the Kyocera Echo is -- it's a dual-screened Android phone, after all -- but it's a wee bit more challenging...

Kyocera Echo review

 

There's not much to the Kyocera Echo's single-screen mode — in this light, it's just a bulky Android 2.2 phone with a 3.5-inch, 480 x 800 display and a 1GHz QSD8650 Snapdragon processor. It's...

Fast processor ; Simultasking works as advertised ; Hinge feels sturdy

Unpolished Android skin ; Hinge is awkward to use

Some polish but still an unrefined experiment

Kyocera Echo (Sprint)

 

The Android-based Kyocera Echo for Sprint is a flawed first attempt at an interesting concept. Not enough software supports dual-screen multitasking for this gutsy design to pay off.

Dual screens mean you can do two things at once. Dual-screen games are pretty awesome.

Not enough apps use the two screens. "Simultasking" apps don't work well together. Merged screens have bezel in center and odd aspect ratio. Short battery life in two-screen mode.

Seven of the built-in apps can simultask, operating independently on the two screens. They are the browser, contact book, e-mail (but not Gmail, and not the attachment viewer), gallery, SMS, dialer, and VueQue, a custom YouTube app. But even those...

Kyocera Echo

 

The Kyocera Echo on Sprint ($200 with a two-year contract as of April 13, 2011) is the first dual-screen Android smartphone to hit the United States. With a design reminiscent of the Nintendo DS, the Echo seems to make a better tablet than a phone.

Running two applications side by side is useful ; Unique design and idea

Hardware feels gimmicky ; Dismal battery life

Since the Echo is more gimmick than substance, you might want to pass it over in favor of something with more power.

Kyocera Echo (Sprint) review: Kyocera Echo (Sprint)

 

Kyocera Echo (Sprint)

The Kyocera Echo has a one-of-kind design that offers two screens and the ability to use two applications at once. Call quality is acceptable and the smartphone is quick and responsive.

The Kyocera Echo's design entails some usability quirks and we're concerned about long-term durability. The feature set is pretty average, it lacks 4G, and you'll have to wait for an upgrade beyond Froyo.

The Kyocera Echo's design offers some unique advantages, but its appeal is hampered by usability quirks and a lackluster feature set.

It's been a while since we saw a truly unique product, especially on the hardware side. Looking to establish itself as a real player in the game, Kyocera- nee, Sanyo- has introduced the Echo, the world's first dual-screen phone. The Echo packs a pair...

Kyocera Echo – Sprint (Review)

 

While just about every Android smart phone features a one-piece candy bar form factor, Kyocera took a risk and stepped away from the traditional comfort zone. The Echo features a 5 megapixel camera and 8 GB of internal memory, but the star of the show...

I used the term “mediocre” multiple times and in many different sections of this review. That word just about sums up the Kyocera Echo — mediocre. It has poor performance, camera quality, responsiveness, and the design is not exactly what some might...

Review: Kyocera Echo

 

The Kyocera Echo from Sprint is definitely one of the most unique Android handsets we've ever seen. It doesn't even need an introduction -- just

When we first got the Echo, our first thought was that it’s really quite bizarre. Now that we've used it for a while, we actually think Kyocera came up with something pretty awesome. The combined resolution of the two screens is great, and besides poor...
