The cell phone is nondescript, which is considered to be a stark contrast if to compare with the Kin One. The measures of the handset are 4.25 inches tall by 2.5 inches wide by 0.75 inch thick. Although it is a hefty phone weighing 4.7 ounces, it feels solid.
The biggest advantage of the handset is its large screen. It measures 3.4 inches. Moreover, it is even sharper compared to the Kin One. The Kin Two provides a scrolling experience that it not so smooth. But you can take advantage of pinch-to-zoom gesture that is supported by the picture gallery as well as browser.
In case you need to type a message, you just have to push the screen to the right in order to expose the keyboard. You will be able to find shortcuts for the handset app, emoticons as well as search.
The software of the device is based on the core elements of Windows 7.

Loop provides you with all updates of your contact as well as tweets from MySpace, Facebook, Windows Live as well as Twitter.

The device boasts of voice features, such as a speakerphone, proximity sensor, conference calling, text and multimedia messaging, stereo Bluetooth as well as 3D support. There is also Wi-Fi along with Bing Web and HTML Web browser.
As for its media player, it is standard. It is the first Windows phone that is available with a fully integrated Zune HD interface. Also the Kin One has 8GB of internal memory. Moreover, it boasts of an 8-megapixel camera. But you will be a bit disappointed by the photo quality. The camera produces quite soft images and colors are slightly washed out.
