Review
HTC offers a premium design and crafted with a single piece of poliched metal and comes in white , or more demure black. The phone running 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8255. HTC Radar looks like is a replacement of HTC Trophy and HTC 7 Mozart, and comes complete with Windows 7 Mango the newest version of Microsoft's operating system.
The phone is covered wil almost all-aluminium chassis and is slightly chunkier than HTC Titan, measuring at 120 x 61.5 x 10.8mm it’s not the thinnest phone or the flatest phone, or even the most sexiest phone out there. The Radar is 3.7-inch screen which dominates the front with the three standard Windows Phone 7 buttons beneath that and slightly less functionality than the Titan.
Although the Radar have only 1GHz processor but there is not much different between it and the Titan which has about 50% more porcessor power and it’s partnered with 512MB of RAM alongside. When it came to navigating between apps. Both were slick and nigh-on faultless, so we'll need to give them a proper test in our full review.
HTC Radar is having 120.5 x 61.5 x 10.9 mm with 137 gms of weight. It has 3.8 inches S-LCD capacitive touchscreen having 480 x 800 pixels of resolution.
The phone have 1520mAh Battery on board, it has the capacity to give back up Up to 360 h (2G) / Up to 330 h (3G) in stand by mode and Up to 5 h 30 min (2G) / Up to 7 h (3G) in talk time mode.. The display is enhanced with following features:-
- Multi-touch input method.
- Gyroscope sensor.
- Proximity sensor for auto turn-off.
- Accelerometer sensor for UI auto-rotate.
- Gorilla Glass display.
Connectivity: This phone supports GPRS, EDGE, 3G (HSDPA 14.4 Mbps, HSUPA 5.76 Mbps), WLAN(Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, DLNA), Bluetooth(Yes, v2.1 with A2DP, EDR) and USB( microUSB v2.0). With 3G and GPRS with the internet at greater speed.
The Radar running Windows Phone Mango, the very latest version of Microsoft's mobile operating system. It packs some fairly crucial additions, most notably multi-tasking -- the ability to keep apps running in the background and switch between them. That's achieved by holding down the back button for a moment, which will put all of your running apps in a carousel across the screen. You can then swipe between them, tapping to select the one you want to dive back into.
HTC Radar has a 5MP camera (having 2560х1920 pixels, resolution) with 28mm lens, and like the Titan and the HTC Evo 3D, an f/2.2 aperture for lower-light photos. A single LED flash will help take night snaps, but lacks the brightness the dual-LED-toting Titan manages (having autofocus, LED flash and Geo-tagging features. The cam can record videos at 720p@30fps).
Docking station is an optional extra for the HTC Radar and HTC has created a dedicated docking app to benefit from the landscape cradle. When docking the Phone you can charge your phone and automatically fire up the dock mode which gives you access to media controls, Time and other stuff.
What Bad
