The HTC Radar-A Review Of This New Device

Posted: Sep 29, 2011 |Comments: 0 |

HTC look set to launch their annual assault on the Windows phone market with several new models that will be running the new Mango version of the popular platform. Here we take a look at the HTC Radar, a phone that has seemingly taken a step back from the ultra competitive large screen market and pitched itself nicely to consumers looking for a stylish and compact model that is still packed full of features.

It is obvious that HTC have spent some time trying to make this phone stand out from the dozens of modern smartphones currently available. The Radar is available in both a black finish or a slightly more eye catching white design complete with silver trimmings. The fact that the phone offers a 3.8 inch display means the phone is slightly more compact than some of the brands recent offerings but it does maintain the chunky and well constructed feel that is evident with all HTC models. The overall dimensions of the model are 120 x 61.5 x 10.8 mm and the weight of the device is a fairly average 137 grammes. The easiest way to describe this phone is basically a smaller version of the HTC Flyer tablet device which was released earlier this year. The phones offers a high quality S-LCD display capable of displaying a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. Whilst this may not be the highest resolution available the smaller screen size compensates for this and results in an impressive pixels per inch rating of 238. The usual array of sensors are integrated in the screen so a proximity and light sensor are both available when needed and the screen also supports multi touch enabling it to register more than one point of contact at a time.

The HTC Radarincorporates a second generation Snapdragon chipset which includes a 1Ghz processor. Despite not boasting the power of some of its more high specification rivals the Radar effortlessly handles all tasks and upon using the phone we noticed no issues with the devices overall speed. This is useful for the new multi tasking facilities which are part of the Windows Mango platform. This enables you to leave the task you are currently performing in order to access another area of the phone. The first task is left running in the background so you can return to it whenever you like without losing any progress. This is superb if you are playing a game but need to quickly send an e mail or browsing the web but want to skip tracks on the phones audio player.

The HTC Radar is a fun and stylish device which boast some features that are on a par with some more well known handsets such as the iPhone 4 and the Samsung Galaxy S2. The nice sized display and modern finish are two features which standout but there really is a lot to like about this new model.

The HTC Radar and the iPhone 4 are available now.
