Support multi-touch Microsoft Kin Mobile phone Real machine preemptive view (multi-image)

The launch of the "Kin" series by Microsoft's own brand of mobile phones, though not as much attention as Apple's iphone, has made people curious about the two handsets by virtue of the unique identities of Microsoft's brands and "Kin" series. Although according to the media reported that these two mobile phones will not start to sell until the middle and late May, but with the latest release of the foreign media "Kin2" of the real picture, or let us have a preliminary understanding of the new Microsoft Mobile phone.

As one of the Microsoft "Kin" series mobile phones, the use of sideslip cover touch screen Design "Kin 2" although not synchronized release of the "Kin 1" as cute, but the more outstanding functional configuration makes it attractive. Although the machine is also made by sharp foundry, there is no Japanese phone style, smooth lines and rounded curves make it seem similar to the Dell phone or Palm Pre.

By contrast with "Kin 1", it is not difficult to find that the latter is the use of sliding cover design and horizontal QVGA touch screen configuration, and its operating mode and the ordinary slide phone not much difference. and "Kin 2" with the Nokia N97 and other mobile phones are relatively close, is more popular left QWERTY keyboard slider, and equipped with a larger touch screen size.

In fact, the two Microsoft handsets should have more to do with the famous sidekick phones from a family pedigree. After Microsoft acquired the mobile danger company, integrated its design team of the original class, plus Microsoft's own staff, set up a mobile Experience team Development Group, has been engaged in code-named Project Pink mobile phone development operations, and finally released the appearance of the two " Kin "series of mobile phones. Since the past sidekick phones themselves are related to information functions, the series also continues to feature in the past, and incorporates the current social networking features that have made today's youth-oriented social handsets.

So, in fact, the only thing the Microsoft Kin series has in common with Windows Phone 7 is Microsoft's offerings, all of which have Zune media players and belong to the Windows Phone family. But Microsoft has not launched an app store for the series, and even if it is likely to launch apps specifically for the series in the future, it is estimated to be very limited in number, so it is reasonable for the media to call the Kin Series a non-smart phone.

From the hardware configuration, the use of sliding cover touch screen design of Microsoft "Kin 2" is still attractive. The machine is loaded with a 3.4-inch HVGA (320x480 pixel) touch screen, and also supports a variety of touch mode and multi-touch, equipped with the Kin Loop Touch interface, featuring the need to update the user's social network at any time and automatically bring Microsoft and Facebook, Twitter And so on the current popular SNS website updates to display. While Kin Loop also prioritizes status updates, messages, and photo updates based on the most frequent contacts and content categories the user chooses, it seems that there are many similarities with the main screen of Windows Phone 7.

The built-in 8 million-megapixel camera is another big highlight of the machine, although from the real machine to see its design is relatively simple, but in addition to supporting the automatic focus and LED flash, the machine also provides HD video shooting function, which for the first time into the field of mobile phone terminal Microsoft, the starting point is still quite high.

The machine also has excellent multimedia entertainment features, not only loaded with Zune Media Player, compatible with a variety of audio and video format file playback, but also has dual-speaker and 3.5-mm headset interface. Only in terms of storage capacity, although this machine 8GB capacity memory can save about 2000 songs, but does not support the storage card expansion seems to be somewhat regrettable.

The version of Microsoft Kin 2 in the United States also supports the CDMA 1X EV network, and can also be connected to the Internet via WLAN Wireless LAN. With the help of the "Kin Spot" sharing feature, users can drag photos, videos, Web pages from the screen to the green dots at the bottom of the screen to start sharing.

Not only that, Microsoft's "Kin 2" phone also offers a "Kin Studio" feature of online sync and backup services similar to my phone, where messages, contacts, photos, videos are stored in the cloud and can be accessed from the browser at any time. As for the synchronized launch of "Kin Studio" has introduced a "visual time axis" design, can be screened for different periods of content to display, reflecting the machine pay attention to the characteristics of mobile interconnection.

Microsoft's "Kin 2" mobile phone also has 256MB ROM, and features such as GPS navigation, FM radios, Bluetooth technology, high-speed USB interface and directional sensors are also readily available. For better standby time, the battery is also equipped with 1390 MA.

In general, Microsoft's "Kin" cannot be called a smartphone in the strictest sense, but both the design and the functional configuration have reached a certain level, especially as a social mobile phone for young people, which is sufficient to meet the needs of the user's daily use, Especially for users who often need to chat or share content with their friends, the Microsoft "Kin" series should be a good choice.

It is reported that the Microsoft "Kin" series provides a CDMA version and GSM version two options, the CDMA version of the market in the United States by Verizon Wireless exclusive distribution, and the introduction of the GSM version of European markets by the famous telecoms giant Vodafone in Italy, Spain, this autumn Sales in Germany and the UK market.
