hello everyone this is Antonia night from pocketnow.com today we're going to take a look at the hardware on the HTC ChaCha which is a Facebook phone together with the HTC Salsa HTC launched the to Facebook phones or so-called Facebook phones with the occasion of this year's Mobile World Congress and what's really interesting about it is that when HTC launched these two smart phones and we're talking about the HTC ChaCha in particular here they launched it with a 600 megahertz processor but the smartphone itself is shipping with an 800 megahertz processor so along the way HTC boosted up the frequencies to make sure it can cope with the Android 2.3 Gingerbread and all the applications running so let's take a look at the hardware on the HTC ChaCha so here we are with the HTC ChaCha for which we thank our friends from globe that code that's UK for supplying us with the rhenium unit and we'll take a look right at the start and the battery which is one of twelve hundred and fifteen million powers which which is good for a smartphone with such a small display it comes pre-installed with a two gigabyte sandisk micro SD card which goes right in there and unfortunately it is not hot swappable because the battery locks it in and this is the place where you would slide in your SIM card let's put the battery back as well as the my recovered which slides into place like this and let's take a look at the device itself it's got a two point six inch hvga screen which means half VGA is 480 across by 320 down and at the top it's got a speaker grille on the right of which right here you will have an LED for notification which will glow in amber when you are charging or green when you have a notification active that your smartphone once until you receive something on the left side here you got your proximity and ambient light sensors which are responsible for shutting up shutting down the display or turning down the backlight right below the screen you've got four capacitive Android buttons we've got one for home menu back and search you've got two dedicated buttons for call start and Cohen and at the bottom you've got a four row full QWERTY keyboard and on the button right side you have your four dedicated directional keys now I'm not sure you can see what the keys themselves are rounded and they have a nice rubber ish feel to them with a pretty decent feedback and texture to it so it's quite comfortable to type on it it kind of reminds you of the HTC snap or the - from the good old days and this little fella here is the Facebook button we'll talk about it more in our software in you on the left side it's got a volume rocker for volume up and volume down plus the microUSB charging and syncing work there's as you can see absolutely nothing on the right side at the bottom you've got your microphone hole this one has got three microphones one is at the bottom which will capture your voice one is at the top for noise cancelling so it will subtract from the total sounds sounds which are captured by this microphone and only believe sounds captured by this you got a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack plus a power button and at the back you've got a five megapixel camera which unfortunately doesn't even record 720p videos that only records in 480 plus an LED flash an additional microphone for capturing video and you've got the speaker grille right here this part right here is metal the rest is plastic but it gives it a nice unibody feel and at the very bottom you have a hole which you can use for a lanyard or some other accessory now the the smartphone itself is pretty lightweight it feels very good in hand and it's rather thin and as a comparison we'll bring out the iPhone we always use the iPhone because it's a very popular smartphone you can see that they are approximately of the same Samus and you can see of course how small the 2.6 inch diagonal screen is even compared to the small 3.5 inch diagonal screen on the iPhone and in terms of thickness well it's a little bit deceiving because the HTC ChaCha has this arched shape for when you are typing if you actually bring up a little bit the display closer to your face so that you can like more comfortably but if you take any other fixed spot you will see that it's just a little bit thicker than than the iPhone this was an Cindy not taking a quick look at the hardware on the HTC ChaCha following will be our software tour and our full review of the HTC ChaCha here on pocketnow.com thank you very much for watching and if you enjoyed the video give us a thumbs up
