Microsoft KIN TWO Review
Score: 44.3 / 100Microsoft KIN TWO is a little bit outdated phone released back in the year 2010, including a medium sized 3.4 inches touch-screen and an 8 megapixels back camera.
In this case, Microsoft decided not to care about this phone weight at all, releasing a 4.7 oz heavyweight product. This phone is a little thick compared to today's cellphones, being as thick as 0.64 inches.
This device comes with an 8 GB interesting internal storage and even though it doesn't include a slot for SD memory cards, it is enough to install hundreds of games and apps, although it probably wouldn't be enough if you are planning to install a couple of the largest games available nowadays or taking tons of pictures and videos.
The Microsoft KIN TWO is equipped with only an 8 MP back side camera. It also films videos up to 1280x720 (HD). This camera also features a few useful characteristics like auto-focus, flash and digital image stabilization.
Microsoft packed this phone with a interesting 3.4-inches display, and a 480 x 320 resolution, which makes everything look quite vivid. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.
The Microsoft KIN TWO provides Wi-Fi capability (but it can't share it with other devices around, acting as a hotspot) and 3G connectivity, using EV-DO A technologies. The Microsoft KIN TWO doesn't use a sim card, because it isn't a GSM enabled cellphone and it can work with CDMA carriers.
This device comes with a mid sized 1390 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery, which is quite poor for a consuming cellphone like this. This device has a reported 6.1 hours talk time and a 232 hours stand by time according to Microsoft.
This phone also features a couple nice features like Bluetooth (enables communication with other devices, computers, and accessories), GPS Geolocation and FM Radio, and some sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.
Microsoft sells this device for 100 dollars, which is high for a cellphone this level.
