Comparisons Featuring Kyocera Echo
Short Review
- The Kyocera Echo features a compact design with dimensions of 115 x 56.5 x 17.2 mm and a weight of 193 grams, making it relatively portable.
- Its dual 3.5-inch TFT displays offer a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 267 ppi.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm QSD8650 Snapdragon S1 chipset, with a 1.0 GHz Scorpion CPU and 1GB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking.
- The 5 MP rear camera captures images with autofocus but lacks optical image stabilization and produces video at 720p.
- Battery life is supported by a 1370 mAh capacity, but it does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 2.2 (Froyo), upgradable to 2.3 (Gingerbread), the software experience is limited by modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device lacks water resistance and stereo speakers, featuring only a standard headphone jack.
- Special features include the unique dual-screen setup, allowing for enhanced multitasking capabilities.
- Overall, the Kyocera Echo presents a distinctive design but is constrained by its specifications.
