Kyocera Zio M6000 Pro Reviews

phonedog‘s review Edit Like Unlike

On paper, the Zio is a solid mid-range Android phone, complete with Sprint's new Sprint ID service. Unfortunately, real life testing tells another story. The Zio is laggy and incredibly slow at even the most basic tasks, leading me to believe that all types of consumers will be frustrated. If the device was in the $29.99-$49.99 price range, perhaps I could justify a purchase, but at $99.99, I would recommend another mid-range device like the Palm Pre, LG Optimus S, or Samsung Transform. At the end of the day, Sanyo manufactures some great devices, and it's unfortunate that the Zio represents the company's reentry into the smartphone world.

The Sanyo Zio delivers exactly what you’d expect from a down-market Android phone. You get the Android experience (Version 2.1), but in a way that’s a little harder to control. You can download Android apps, but the phone’s slow processor can’t always run them quickly and smoothly--and the same goes for video. You get the idea

LAPTOP Magazine‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The proliferation of Android phones is both a blessing and curse to consumers. We expect the more expensive ones with 1-GHz processors to perform like Ferraris, and we accept that lower priced ones will run like Honda Civics--stable and reliable, but not like speed demons. However, the Sanyo Zio is slow even for a budget Android phone, and the lack of multitouch is pretty lame in 2010. If you're looking for a sub-$100 Android device on Sprint, the Samsung Intercept is a better option, as is the older Samsung Moment.

In the end there are simply better options than the Sanyo Zio. It doesn’t do anything extremely well with the exception of the phone and there are some glaring issues that make the phone forgettable. First and foremost is the unresponsive display, which makes using the all touch Zio a frustrating experience. If it weren’t for that we could probably overlook the lack of multitouch, the so-so camera performance or the heavy use of plastic on the Zio, but we can’t. The HTC Hero, at this point a year old and way overpriced at $150 on contract is still a much better option than the Zio and we can’t imagine that the forthcoming $50 LG Optimus S, launching with Froyo, could be any worse.

Sprint's Sanyo Zio will pale in comparison with Sprint's other Android handsets, but it offers functional features and serviceable performance at an affordable price.
