Sprint and Kyocera have announced the Kyocera Echo, notable because it is the first dual-screen Android smartphone. The two screens can work together, independently or on complementary processes, and it features a special plastic pivot hinge that the sliding displays depend on.
“The big problem has always been creating a seam that doesn t take away from the profile of the product,” said Fared Adib, Sprint vice president of product development. “You really have to get close to notice it. Your eye gets very used to it.”
Echo will run Android 2.2 and a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, offer a WiFi hotspot and will come in the spring for $199 with a two-year contract and a $100 mail-in rebate.
