We have been hearing quite a bit about the Project Pink phones from Microsoft [MSFT] over the last couple of weeks. Microsoft has finally unveiled its new mobile phones, which are designed for social media: the Microsoft Kin One and Kin Two.
Both of these new Microsoft mobile phones are designed specifically for people who use various social networking websites like Twitter and Facebook. They both have a unique interface, and both mobile phones were developed in conjunction with Sharp.
Microsoft Kin One: Compact and Social
The Kin One features a circular style design, with a touchscreen display with a resolution of 320 x 240, a five-megapixel camera, the ability to record VGA video, and 4GB of built-in storage. There is also a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, making it easy to type out messages and updates on the go. The compact design of the Kin One makes it highly portable and convenient for users who prefer a smaller device that still offers robust social media capabilities.
The Kin One is particularly aimed at younger users who are constantly connected to their social networks. Its design allows for quick access to social media apps, and the camera is optimized for capturing and sharing moments instantly. The 4GB storage, while modest, is sufficient for storing a good number of photos, videos, and apps.
Microsoft Kin Two: Enhanced Features for Power Users
The Kin Two has higher specifications with a larger touchscreen display and a 480 x 320 pixel resolution. It boasts an eight-megapixel camera that is capable of recording HD video in 720p. It also comes with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and has 8GB of built-in storage, doubling the capacity of the Kin One. This makes the Kin Two more suitable for users who need more storage space for their media and apps.
The Kin Two’s enhanced camera capabilities make it ideal for users who enjoy capturing high-quality photos and videos. The HD video recording feature is particularly noteworthy, as it allows users to create and share high-definition content directly from their phone. The larger screen and higher resolution also provide a better viewing experience for media consumption and social media browsing.
Both models run on the NVIDIA Tegra platform, which ensures smooth performance and efficient power usage. They feature integration with Microsoft’s Zune for music, videos, podcasts, and FM radio, providing a comprehensive media experience. This integration allows users to easily sync their media libraries and enjoy their favorite content on the go.
Microsoft has teamed up with Vodafone to sell the new Kin Social Networking mobile phones. While there are no details on pricing as yet, the partnership with Vodafone suggests that the phones will be widely available and supported by a major carrier.
The Microsoft Kin One and Kin Two are designed to cater to the needs of social media enthusiasts. With their unique designs, robust social media integration, and media capabilities, they offer a compelling option for users looking to stay connected and share their experiences. Whether you prefer the compact and portable Kin One or the feature-rich Kin Two, these phones are set to make a mark in the social networking mobile phone market.
