Comparisons Featuring Microsoft Kin ONEm
Short Review
- The Microsoft Kin ONEm features a compact design with dimensions of 84.1 x 67.6 x 18.5 mm and weighs 110.6g, making it portable but somewhat bulky.
- 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 but lacks vibrancy.
- Performance is powered by an Nvidia Tegra chipset with a 600MHz ARM 11 CPU and 256MB of RAM, which limits multitasking capabilities.
- The 5 MP rear camera includes autofocus but lacks optical image stabilization and can record video at 480p@30fps, offering basic photography features.
- The 1240mAh battery capacity is modest, and there is no fast charging or wireless charging support.
- The software experience is minimalistic, with no specified operating system details, and it lacks advanced features like stereo speakers.
- 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 headphone jack, which is a notable feature for audio enthusiasts.
- Overall, the Kin ONEm is a basic device that focuses on essential functions rather than advanced capabilities.
- Its design and features reflect its 2010 release, catering to a specific user demographic.
