Dual-Screen Android: How it Works on the Echo

[Skooz]

754?!?! My crappy LG phone is running at 2602!!......Isnt this supposed to be a fairly new phone?

As much as i love the idea of dual screen, their hardware really is killing this device.

[tekkenfreak715]

Additionally this phone should have been supplied with a dual core (one processor for each screen).

[tekkenfreak715]

The screens not being aligned properly is due to the top screen being slightly smaller.

[TMEthan]

You think they'll update the Echo to have faster and better phone usage?

[dariushall21]

@TMEthan It probably depends how popular this really is. If it was extremely popular I'm sure they will make another one.

[robvh2]

Great review.

[robvh2]

I hope this dual screen and multitasking functionality gets baked into the base Android OS. I'm tired of manufacturers' skins fragmenting the OS and not receiving updates. Premature obsolescence is the result and the biggest drawback to Android devices.

[lucarade1]

AMAZING idea, the phone itself isnt too bad but it could have been a lot better, but once the idea catches on and more apps start appearing that take advantage of two screens they have the potential to replace normal smartphones AND tablets.

[RapidRAMPAGE245]

this phone would be complete if it have a camera in the front screen like the iPhone

[joycielb]

I'm not sure I like this phone too much O_o I was interested but after seeing this video I'm not too sure

[toonygamer2004]

dual screens for angry birds looks fun.

I should have tried that in the store.

Great review Brandon

[MrEFFDUBB]

Using the multitask, can you talk and surf at the same time?

[therdheepak]

UUUUGHHHHLEEEE!!!!!

[kboardman]

Saying the 2nd kind of apps "Don't work in tablet mode" is a poor choice of words, Dosen't take advantage of the 2 screens is more correct, but they DO "work".

[okniceguy]

I don't think this technology is perfected- which is fine with me- because I look at it as a gateway for other phone manufacturers to improve upon. That HTC 3-screened concept phone seemed better, by far, but I still give this phone, its concept and the idea of the technology, respect. More phones like this will come in the future. Hopefully.

[NaterBoxs]

I bet you could use spare parts, a free app from the market, to fix the apps not fitting to screen by disabling or enabling compatibility mode and rebooting. It does not require root so you could do it right out of the box.

[hdzsound]

hard keyboard, Is way better than a second touch screen

[cossheisnmzenna]

Is it just me or does the interface look extremely laggy? I'm sorry but I can not stand laggy interfaces, it just dosen't 'feel' right, really frustrating.

[PMrockXmetal]

Awesome consept, but if the phone was more powerful and smoother with a better-looking design, this would be the king...

[VIIIaron]

10:05 why would i do that?

[InfernalJay]

Honestly that black bar is annoying. Why would anyone want this? If you want a phone the sizt of the Galaxy Tab...get a Galaxy Tab. Leave the Dual screens for Nintendo stuff

[toonygamer2004]

@InfernalJay

Watch Apple, or HTC get involved with dual screens, and it'll be

all the rage, and what a lot of people start picking up. ha ha

[zsmorr92]

I really like the concept, I just wish it was a slightly more high end phone.

[techreviewsyou]

Check out my channel! I do tech videos too...but not very good

and sorry for spamming :)

[accellpo]

Bad idea and bad execution! That black bar in the middle fails at every level.

[TheCrazy1One]

Very nice idea bad execution

[igeekone]

Good idea but poor execution. Give it a dual core SOC like Tegra 2 and it should run faster can consume less battery because tasks get down sooner.

[SimX9000]

Great idea, horseshit specs.

[TheMMray]

Very true multitasking

[6667779311]

If Apple made it you haters would be all over it. I like it. This reminds me of the first sidekick. Game Changer.

[obefiend]

some real cool ideas but the battery life is pathetic

[TheJafari1]

piece of shit!



[IgnitionUnlimited]

Wow... 14 minutes? Surprised the battery lasted that long.

Piece of shit.

[bbq4000]

Hey did u task killed it before doing the test? Because phones tend to do it better, when u do it, cus it clears out the men....

[MrPanduno1]

the black border !! totally sucks

[RubiksOrigami]

This is just the beginning. In a few years time, I think that dual screen technology is going to be refined greatly.

[TheMagicPOPO]

Those who say this phone and it's concept (etc) is bad, I would still prefer this over my current phone. >.>

[gtfc8922]

Dose it run down the battery life fast

[staflo10]

this is a yesy too.....................

[SickTechShow]

Again, another novelty. Just like3D, absolutely worthless.

[Moco159]

Whats the battery life? Probably 15 minutes LOL

[korwinblue]

best form factor ever.

[MABeezy009]

it's the stupidest phone ive ever seen, the concept alone is pretty stupid as well.

[superapple4ever]

This phone is very bad that brand has always been know for makeing bad phones.

[obnoxiousways]

I wanna see this with Windows phone 7. interesting concept though

[Hejsansvejsan2009]

Hi everyone, it's Drandon MINIMIN?

[matejdro]

Apps like NYT and Speedtest are also not working properly on low dpi settings, so it's not dual screen fault.

[dbdrag1552]

Let´s remember this is no HTC or Samsung we are talking about. Kyocera has not the experience of any of these two. And yet the went for a BIG shot with this device. Wich is ugly as hell, but yet this is one of the greatest ideas i´ve seen in a while and you will remeber in a future that it began with the Echo. ´Cos i know we will see dual screens in a couple of years from other companies.

[Kalavere]

This phone isn't well designed. At all.

[Alin2005]

Thumbs up for FPS Russia!

[b3dw4rd]

roflmao fps russia

[labombaNL]

it would be nice, if there was no space between the two screens.

and the design kinda sucks..

[Wurminfektion]

it sucks... it just sucks

[Winterfang]

After using my Windows phone for almost a week now, I can't just look at the Android UI without barfing.

[ciprigeorgiu]

nice ideea...very poor implementation..but have you ever heard of a great device from Kyocera? Were you guys expecting something grand?

[tremaynenorris]

I love how unbiased Brandon tries to stay throughout all his reviews. It helps keep the comments section clear of useless debates. And it helps get straight to the point of the video: the phone.

Thanks again!

[daggerzone2]

would be cool if double screen was possible with all apps oh well (:

[psFAN4LIFE]

forget the double screen just give me a large screen :)

[muhammadyousuf1]

OMG FPSRUSSIA

[9700ismla]

what phone

[oribali1]

This is a crap

[oribali1]

Wow!!

[compl3t3]

If it looked nicer, it could be a proper awesome phone.

[AtaRobert97]

Wow looks like a ds dsi 3ds lo combined with a phone.

[Sharod101]

i'll be honest, i'm really impressed. far better than any android device i've ever seen (as far as versitility goes), but the only reasons why i don't want it? i need it to be a little bit faster, it can really use more horse power, and i wish it just looked better in general.

[mrjlwilliams]

I don't really know if this phone will sell at all, it just doesn't fit today's market. Maybe if it would have come out a year ago, I don't know. But this is not a good look....

[prestigeac3]

Can this play NDS :D?

[Sonyfranchise]

my phone is scaled just fine brandon :)

[costescuandrei1975]

These diagonal screen measurements are so weird... 7" is half of 9.7". 2x 3.5" make a 4.7" screen..

[altiscorner]

the idea is pretty awsome but that phone is so ugly

thats how the conzept could look like in future: /watch?v=Thfy1HF-2t4&feature=f­vwrel

[TROYanPunky]

both screens make a 4.7 inch screen, the dell streak has a 5" screen....

[mariopianofreak]

this is what you call real multitasking!

[Gurksallad10]

It would probably work much, much better with a dual core processor...

Then it would be awesome!

[bbkill]

This is a yesy

[drrobertoboogie97]

Multiple screen setups on phones.. I think that in a few years we're going to use our phones as desktop computers.

[dazziola]

@drrobertoboogie97 nahhh we're gonna use our desktop computers as desktop computers

[Zw1d]

@drrobertoboogie97 I'm sure its going this direction. You'll have just a dock with keyboard and display attached. But this phone is a huge failure. Despite the look it seems to be terribly laggy. Notice that Brandon has barely anything installed, and the inboxes are empty...

[CloudStrife2k6]

@drrobertoboogie97

Just using my HD2 with Android I have realized I been using my PC less and less. I get all my news on my mobile, manage my eStore, email, almost everything I needed my PC for. The only thing I am using my PC for is gaming lol

[thebamams]

its the ugliest phone ive seeen. they could have at least made it look a bit nicer.

[bigsteamfan]

@thebamams Forget the looks, in my opinion, this is the worst phone design ever... Why put two small screens.. that's just not normal, it splits the image on two screens and you will permanently have that thick hinge that separates the screens... Just make a REGULAR TABLET... with a big screen.. This compromise of screen space vs size, will never work !

[TMEthan]

@thebamams Looks find to me. :/

[MidnightXfire]

@thebamams phones are not made for looks this is not a freaking beauty contest idiot

[Jedieaston]

4th!!!!!!!



[AXooooXA]

@Jedieaston Who gives a shit?

[GetPatriotized]

@AXooooXA

You do? If you didn't,you wouldn't of replied -_-

[ManuelDr]

@AXooooXA You seem to do, considering you replied to his comment.

[Stresy94]

cool



[AppScreencast]

How come Brandon left TechnoBuffalo?
