subject: What To Expect From The Htc Titan Mobile Phone [print this page] HTC has long been known for producing excellent mobile phones. However, their reputation has recently suffered, not because of the release of poor phones, but because of the recent releases of their competitors. With the release of the HTC Titan, the company strives to regain their footing in the mobile phone industry with the help of Microsoft.
Design
The HTC is well-named. Coming in at 131.5 x 70.7 x 9.9 mm, it's definitely one of, if not the largest phones in the market. In spite of its size, it's neither bulky nor heavy, as it's pretty lightweight at 160 g.
However, it's not the large size of the mobile phone that catches the eye. The HTC Titan has a whopping 4.7-inch screen with a 480 x 800 resolution, allowing it to show the sharpest colors and the darkest blacks. This makes the phone not only a suitable device for texting, calling, and using apps, but even for watching videos and browsing the Internet. Even those who have poor eyesight won't have that much to complain about the phone, especially since it offers great viewing angles. To cap it off, the HTC Titan also has a special sunlight sensor on its screen to allow you to use the mobile phone even under direct sunlight.
Camera
The HTC Titan has a 8 mp camera with built-in dual LED flashes. The crowning glory of the camera of this phone is its 2.2f aperture, one of the best apertures on mobile phones today. This, combined with its back-illuminated sensor, allows users to take excellent photos even under poor lighting conditions. It also has a 28 mm wide angle, allowing you to take wide shots without having to stand too far back, such as when you're taking group pictures or photos of scenery. The camera also has panorama and multi-burst features to give you the opportunity to create more variations in your photos. You can also use the HTC phone to take HD videos at 720p resolution.
The phone also has a 1.3 mp front-facing camera for those video calls.
Processor
The HTC Titan comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor at 1.5GHz. While it's only a single-core processor and not a dual-core processor like the recently-released smartphones in the market, it is able to handle most tasks on the phone and is even able to support multi-tasking. The phone comes with 512 MB RAM and 16 GB of internal memory.
Operating system
Arguably the most highly-anticipated feature of the HTC Titan is its operating system. The HTC Titan and the HTC Radar are the first two smartphones that come with WP7 Mango, the latest operating system released by Microsoft. The company has recognized the kinks in the operating system they released in earlier models, which is why they greatly modified the system to come up with a slick and powerful OS that can impress even the sticklers. Integrated in the system are the social networking sites for those who can't help but post status updates while on the go.
Microsoft and HTC loyalists won't have that much to complain about the Titan mobile phone. Not only does it look sleek, it also is quite a powerful unit, leading a lot of experts to wonder whether this is the phone that will be able to topple the reign of the other well-known smartphone manufacturers.
