subject: The Brilliant Htc 7 Mozart Reviewed [print this page] HTC have perhaps been the most productive of all the manufacturers that have adopted the new Windows Platform from launch, boasting an incredible 4 models. One of these is the new 7 Mozart, a high end smartphone yet the most compact in the current range, despite the fact it packs in the highest specification camera facility.
Internally, the handset boasts much of the technology of its counterparts thanks to the tight constraints that Microsoft are placing on the platform. At the centre of things is a 1Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and as you would expect from a chip of this size, it easily handles all that is asked of it. All areas of the phone work at great speed, with web pages rendering quickly and the same with the loading times of applications. 8Gb of internal storage memory comes supplied with the phone. Whilst this should more than suffice the general user, customers looking to extensively use the multi media feature may find the size a little restrictive, especially with no SD card slot present. The device incorporates a high quality 3.7 inch display. This screen is capable of showing WVGA quality at a very high resolution of 480 x 800 resolution. Despite the manufacturer opting away from AMOLED technology, the TFT screen still does a sterling job with both graphics and media footage looking crystal clear and full of colour. The overall measurements of the phone are 119 x 60.2 x 11.9mm, generally compact for a smart phone, and the weight of just 130 grammes really does stand out.
The HTC 7 Mozart has one areas where it is head and shoulders above the competition, and that is its camera facility. It is dangerous to rely purely upon a mega pixel rating as an indication of quality, however this unit can snap images at 8 million pixels which is higher than the average of around 5 million. As a result, the final still shot looks superb on the phones screen, and maintains much of its quality when transferred to a PC. A Xenon flash helps when lighting is poor and the phone offers a good range of scene modes including Auto, Portrait and Landscape. These customise your camera to really suit your surrounding, and there is also several effect modes that are available to use. Should you prefer to shoot moving images, then you will not be disappointed with this area of the phone either, with 720P High Definition giving stunning images.
Despite being the smallest of HTC Windows 7 offerings, the 7 Mozart impresses with great features and screen, with the multi media aspects of this model being particularly good.
