\nI know you’ve been wondering what’s in the Kin Two<\/A> since it first came out and now you can see the phone’s delicious innards up close. iFixIt tore it up and found an Nvidia Tegra<\/A> processor, which is nice, and “two very cool springs.” Where did they hide the magical unicorn hoof shavings?

* The Kin Two is 19.05 mm thick. That makes for a bigger bulge in the pants, given that the iPhone and Motorola Droid are 12.3 mm and 13.7 mm thick, respectively. (Enter “Is that a Kin Two, or are you happy to see me?” jokes here.)<\/p>\n

* The Kin Two has two very cool-looking (to a mechanical engineer) springs that keep the phone’s halves either fully-open or fully-closed.<\/p>\n

* For being able to shoot all of 8 megapixels, the camera only eats up about .5 cm^3 of space inside the Kin.<\/p>\n

* The digitizer is a Synaptics unit, and the main controller chip is labeled T1021A1 0939 ACOM755.<\/p>\n

* Samsung’s moviNAND KLM8G4DEDD package supplies the 8GB of storage space for the Kin. It features a very advanced thirty nanometer architecture, and can transfer data at speeds up to 52 MB\/s.<\/p>\n

* Avago has two chips inside the Kin Two: an ACFM-7103 CS\/Cellular\/S-GPS Qunitplexer and an ACPM-7353 dual-band power amplifier.<\/p>\n

* The camera is the Sony IMX046. The IMX046 is fabricated using a 90 nm CMOS process. The camera’s resolution is 8.11 effective megapixel (8 active megapixel), 1.4 \u03bcm sized pixel, 1\/3.2″ optical format. Samsung was the first to use this camera in the M8800.<\/p>\n

* Taking a cue from the iPhone and Zune HD, the Kin Two has an accelerometer. It’s an STMicro 331DL 3 Axis nano MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) device.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
