hello I'm the westlakes tnx here at NEC stand in Mobile World Congress in Barcelona I'm taking a look at the NEC medias W an Android find that has two screens so you can think of the medias W is basically being two screens bolted together attached by this hinge when you fold the phone flat it ledges just 12.2 millimeters thick unfortunately we can't fold it all the way here because of this big security tag that I want us running off with it each screen is 4.3 inches on the diagonal when you open it up it's got five point six inches on the diameter taking in both screens so when you open it up you will get to home screens as you can see I can swipe across these and see twice as many widgets that wants that's very good some other cool things you can do with the two screens are set a video duplicating on both screens which could be handy if you're sitting across from someone on a train or a bus maybe and you both want to get a look at the footage you can also put maps across both screens and get a slightly bigger view of where you're going and the browser as well has some quite cool features so you can see it's expanded across both of these displays gives you a wider view you can pin pages as well so you can keep one browser page always present on one screen and keep browsing away on the other one that could be useful if you wanted to keep Facebook or Twitter running on one side and have a look at more web pages on the other when you're in the gallery you'll see thumbnails displayed on the left screen and larger images on the right which is quite a cool idea something else is good is it if you tap and hold one of the images on the left side you can drag it onto the facebook app to quickly post pictures to facebook apart from the two screen feature this is a fairly standard Android phone it's running Android version 4.1 which isn't a very latest version of jelly bean but it's pretty close so you will get all the usual treats like access to the Google Play Store and of course all those home screens you can fill with dynamic widgets and apps NEC says that the battery shouldn't be too badly impacted by the two screens obviously having two displays will take mortal on battery life then you would see with a normal phone but of course you won't have both screens open all the time so hopefully it won't be too bad so I think having two screens could definitely take some getting used to but it's a very cool idea if it doesn't impact too much on battery life that is it's coming out in japan in april there's no word yet on a release elsewhere in the world but fingers crossed day on the Westway via cnet and this is the NEC me dsw
