However, I felt it was adequate as support for most productivity. A single lens each, neither performing well in low light. The always-on option for the outer screen is a nice feature that gives users instant access to relevant info without a huge battery drain to the already struggling battery.īoth cameras are quite basic. I found I got used to its limitations and used it exclusively for these.

Taking a photo using the outer display is made awkward by what feels like a full second of lag while lining up a shot.Īs a means to check the time, see if its worth opening your device or read simple messages, it works. Navigating through the outer display’s applets and functions is slow and intermittently unresponsive. The 2″ screen solves these problems but unfortunately it does little else well. To make a call on Gemini, one had to use the spotty voice assist. The idealistic implementation of Gemini’s indicator LEDs was interesting but nobody is going to learn a rake of combos just so they can avoid taking calls from work or know what messages await in their notifications. Being unable to capture non-selfie photo or video while looking at the screen was huge handicap to Gemini’s already limited capture utility. Additional FunctionĬosmo Communicator’s aforementioned addition of an outer screen, rear camera and outer fingerprint sensor were very much needed. The otherwise-unsullied rear carries the only branding of the device – the few words and logos are in a simple white line style.

I find the symmetry and simplicity of the three to be aesthetically pleasing. Cosmo Communicator removes the Christmas decorations and adds a 2″ diagonal touchscreen that resides between the new camera arrangement and wake button with in-built fingerprint sensor. Gemini’s lid was devoid of interface save for the five indicator LEDs. This probably should have been how it was done first time around but we are glad it’s here nonetheless. There is now a conventional slide out tray in which both sit your regular SIM extractor or safety pin backup will do the trick. This plate could move slightly and add to the rattle of the device. The SIM and micro SD have been moved from behind a metal panel on the outside of the Gemini. Whereas Cosmo Communicator closes or opens almost silently before a satisfying and reassuring clap or click respectively. It rattled a little and wasn’t as smooth as I would have liked. The elder hinge was innovative and impressive but imperfect. The build quality, while not particularly lacking in Gemini, is now practically AAA.

On closer inspection, especially a manual one, differences do become more apparent. That classic form factor didn’t need a change, how it meets the modern software-driven mobile productivity landscape did. While normal manufacturers might be derided for derivation, Planet are working towards a perfect formula for a specific layout so allotting resources for aesthetic upgrades would have been wasteful. The two are almost the same in terms of dimensions and weight with Cosmo Communicator being slightly thicker at 17mm deep when closed and 326g, versus 16mm and 320g. That mechanical keyboard is almost the same. The form factor, a wide clamshell, is the same. They wear a similar dark two-tone, lightly frosted metal outer. Reworked but Similar Outerįrom moderate distance, you may mistake Cosmo Communicator for its predecessor. While it’s still a niche product, Communicator shows those backers put their faith in the right hands. The result is much closer to the vision that impressed IndieGoGo enough to have cash thrown at them four years ago. Cosmo Communicator tackles most of Gemini’s idiosyncrasies while addressing some lesser spoken issues. I often had to open the device to see who was calling and then close it again to take the call since the earpiece was on the outside. For one, the lack of an outer screen forced me to open the device to do simple tasks. It had some design issues that prevented the device from truly replacing my smartphone and tablet w/keyboard as it should have done. At MWC just a few years ago, I played with their Gemini and later reviewed the product. Planet UK have been working on the Psion S3-style PDA smart device for a few years now.
