Short Review
- The Microsoft Kin One features a compact design with dimensions of 82.6 x 63.5 x 19.1 mm and a weight of 110.6g, making it portable.
- Its 2.6-inch TFT display has a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 154 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- Performance is powered by an Nvidia Tegra chipset with a 600MHz ARM 11 CPU and 4GB of RAM, suitable for light usage but limited for demanding applications.
- The 5 MP rear camera offers autofocus but lacks optical image stabilization, capturing video at 480p and no front-facing camera is available.
- The battery capacity is 1240mAh, which supports basic daily use but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- The software experience is tailored for social connectivity, although specific OS details are not provided.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device includes a microUSB 2.0 port and a headphone jack, enhancing its usability.
- The Kin One is designed primarily for social media interactions, reflecting its intended user base.
- Overall, it combines basic functionality with a focus on social features in a compact form.
