This autumn we are witnessing several impressive new mobile handsets being released
. Amongst these models is the eagerly awaited iPhone 4S from Apple whilst HTC have also released their new Windows 7.5 handset named the Titan. Here we compare these two premium smartphones and see which device comes out on top.
The public were hoping for a new design with the iPhone 4S but unfortunately the model sports the same look as the popular iPhone 4. This still looks superb but lacks the impact that a new design would have brought to the format. Apple are in good company with HTC in this area as all of their models follow a similar blueprint and the Titan maintains this trend. Where the model does stand out however is with its overall size which is huge thanks to the 4.7 inch screen that the model uses. Despite the extra width and height measurements the phone does maintain a relatively slim depth of 9.9mm and the weight is also fairly impressive at just 160 grammes. Thanks to its 3.5 inch display the iPhone 4S is a much more compact affair. Whilst this may have disadvantages in some areas it does mean the phone is small enough to easily slip into a pocket and the depth of just 9.3mm makes it one of the slimmest phones available.
The iPhone 4S eclipses the HTC Titan in terms of storage capacity thanks to the model being made in three different sizes. Apple have introduced a huge capacity 64GB model to sit alongside the 32GB and the 16GB that are also available. The Titan offers one storage option which is 16GB which should prove ample for the average phone user but anybody wishing to store lots of music or video on the handset will be disappointed. Neither model offers an external card slot so the built in storage is what you are limited to using. In terms of RAM memory both of these devices offer an adequate 512MB. All of this storage is wonderful for saving your camera images and both of these models sport great digital cameras. The HTC boasts an 8 million pixel camera which is the same size as the one featured on the iPhone 4S. The Apple handset provides better results however thanks to the better quality of sensor that is used together with a wealth of features that make taking a photograph a simple task. Video recording is also superior on the iPhone as the model offers high definition capture in 1080P resolution rather than the 720P standard offered on the Titan.
The HTC Titan is without doubt the best Windows phone ever released but it still has some way to go before it can match the overall quality offered on the iPhone 4S.
