Dual Touchscreens with 4-in-1 Versatility
Two high-resolution 3.5" WVGA displays connected by a revolutionary pivot hinge that allows operation independently or together as a single large 4.7" display. And with apps specifically optimized for the Echo's dual screens, you can do two things at once: Email, Contacts, Messaging, Browser, Phone, Photo Gallery, and VueQue (a specially-designed YouTube app).
- Single-Screen Mode gives you a fully functional single-display experience, with all the functionality you expect of a single-display touchscreen Android smartphone.
- Simul-Task Mode lets you choose 2 of the Echo's 7 core apps and run one on each display simultaneously. In this mode, you can operate two applications at the same time, one on each screen. There are seven core applications that are Simul-Task capable: Phone, Contacts, Email, Messaging, Browser, Gallery and VueQue, which is a special Kyocera application for viewing YouTube videos.
- Optimized Mode works with optimized apps to let the dual displays complement each other, such as having email on one screen and a full virtual keypad on the other.
- Tablet Mode, the dual displays act as a single oversized (4.7", 800 x 960 pixels) display ideal for multimedia such as movies and games.
