The massive HTC Titan boasts an 8-megapixel camera among its key features
The HTC Titan is the huge new Windows smartphone from the ever-prolific Taiwanese manufacturer. In this article, I’ll introduce some of its key features so you can decide if it’s the smartphone for you.
The first thing you will notice about this device is its large dimensions. As the name suggests, this is a heavy smartphone, weighing in at 131.5x 70.7x 9.9mm. The phone’s size is due to the large 4.7-inch screen that dominates the front, but the phone maintains a slim profile. The S-LCD capacitive touch screen has a resolution of 480x 800. It may not be as high as many other new smartphones, but be aware of the size of the screen. The screen quality is still very good and lends itself well to viewing photos and videos, as well as playing games and browsing the web.
While the HTC Titan doesn’t have the micro SD slot that most new smartphones do, it more than makes up for it with its 16GB of internal storage. This may not sound like the best thing in the world, but thousands of music tracks, photos, videos and apps can be stored on the phone.
Browsing the internet is the strength of the HTC Titan thanks to data download speeds of up to 14.4 Mbps in areas with 3G coverage. Wi-Fi is also included as an option as long as you have access to local wireless networks. The latter is the favorable option due to faster speeds, lower battery consumption, and doesn’t drain your data allotment.
The HTC Titan has a high-quality 8-megapixel camera that is capable of producing very nice still images and capturing 720p HD video footage. The camera comes equipped with all the usual extras like autofocus and LED flash, as well as geo-tagging. There is also a 1.3MP secondary camera located on the front of the phone that can be used for video calls and self-portrait photos.
Aside from the phone’s size, the HTC Titan’s biggest talking point is the Windows Phone Mango operating system. This is version 7.5 of the increasingly popular smartphone platform and offers a very attractive interface that is very different from iOS or Android. It has a tile-like layout that allows users to quickly and easily navigate to their chosen app or hub.
If you’re looking for something different than the usual iOS or Android offerings, it may be worth taking a closer look at the HTC Titan. Once you see beyond its size, you will surely be satisfied with the features it offers. There’s never been a better time to pick up an HTC Titan as several UK networks are currently offering the phone for free at selected rates.
