Microsoft has unveiled their two long-waited social phones, Kin One and Kin Two which are two sliding QWERTY phones that pack capacitive touchscreen display and social networking features. These two phones have the special interface called Loop on the home screen, which allows you to stay connected to popular social networking sites such as Facebook, Windows Live, Twitter, MySpace. You can share videos, images, music with your social friend list on the home screen of these two phones.
The Kin One has an LED-flash-enabled 5-megapixel camera, a 4GB non-extendable internal storage, a squircle-shaped slider and a capacitive touch display with resolution of 320×240. The Kin Two has an LED flash-enabled 8-megapixel camera, 8GB non-expandable storage, a capacitive touchscreen with 480×320 resolution and 720p HD video recording capability.
Both handsets have the Nvidia’s Tegra chip that provides better power of audio and video processing. And they rely on cloud service to back up your photos, videos, messages as the phones don’t have memory card slot. There is no word on the pricing, but they’re expected to reach Verizon sometime in May.
