hey guys it's brandon minuman from pocketnow.com in this video we're going to talk about the hardware on the HTC Titan which has a 4.7 inch screen is that too big to fit in your pocket we're going to find out right now so do you actually want to see how it fits inside of a pocket what let's take a look kind of an interesting little test here so here it is not that big of a device actually it's it's obviously pretty big in there but it's definitely not too big to cause your pants to fall down if you're not wearing about so pretty pocketable it's still quite big compared to some other devices so the HTC Titan is the fastest windows phone 7.5 mango device you can buy right now if you look at clock speed alone it has a 1.5 gigahertz qualcomm snapdragon cpu if you want a full rundown of specs check the link in the description in this video we're going to talk more about fit and finish how it feels in the hand how large it actually is and other things like that so let's get to it 4.7 inch screen as as we mentioned here 800 down by 480 across so what HTC has done is there stretching the same resolution found on smaller screen devices to this larger display which means pixels are actually visible on this phone if you have good eyesight it has a ppi pixel density of 198 pixels per inch when you get below 220 230 you start to see pixels so let me show you some pixels if the camera will pick it up so here we are on the start screen we're going to zoom in on some of these tiles if the camera stays in focus you should be able to see some pixels especially in this Twitter icon if you have very good eyesight you'll notice the pixels it's not that big a video it's still a very crisp and clear super LCD display HTC always makes a good display but just be aware that's not sharp and not not as sharp and not as crisp as some of the Q HD screens out there and we're about to see a wave of 720p screens on Android handsets so just something to be aware so the screen is dominated the front is dominated by the screen i should say very thin bezel along the side which is quite nice you might be wondering how it compares to devices that have a 4.3 inch screen for example so let's bring out the galaxy s2 and if we rest it and kind of match things up you'll notice that it's about the Titans about two millimeters wide wide wider and two millimeters taller so not that big of a difference again HTC did a good job keeping the bezel razor sharp if we look at the desire HD very popular device of last year now we've got about one millimeter maybe two on the side maybe three or four millimeters here on the bottom so it's not that big of a difference in terms of size when compared to devices with 4.3 inch displays I've got a front-facing camera up here first round of devices now is coming out with front facing cameras for windows phone 7 mango got the capacitive buttons down here really interesting design cue here HTC has protruded the screen let's see if we can capture this on video about a millimeter beyond the case it's really kind of cool actually and it feels nice in the hand so if you can notice this the screen pops out a little bit across the entire device then it kind of sinks back down where the screen ends so sort of a cool design element there and while we're on the side got the charging Jack their micro USB of course we flip over to the back nothing but microphone and the little button to pop off the battery cover we've got a camera shutter button all windows phone 7 devices have it which is a great idea it's always nice to have it feels kind of awkward on the Titan for some reason and we have to use this device for for some more time to really understand why that is it just seems difficult to capture a picture it might be the software it might be the larger form factor of the device volume rocker here 3.5 millimeter up the top and a power standby button now the back is really sharp it's it's actually real metal and you know it's real metal because when you pick it up after you haven't used the phone for a while the back feels cool to the touch which is really nice we saw the same kind of design Q on the HTC Desire HD or this is actually the inspire 4G really nice to have some real materials and the device does feel kind of heavy but again it's using real materials real metal real glass but so you have to expect that kind of thing speaker grill on the back the Titan hasn't loud speaker which is great 8 megapixel camera can do 720p video not 1080p unfortunately and dual flash on the Titan now to take off the back battery cover the phone kind of separates into two pieces which is something HTC has been doing recently with their phones so this comes off you get the battery in the sim card slot and no microSD slot back here this Windows Phone 7 device does not have expandable memory but it does have 16 gigabytes of on-board storage which is really plenty for most people it will pop this back in and wrap things up so the HTC Titan of course coming from HTC it's a high quality device it feels good in the hand it looks like a lot of their other devices to be honest you get a screen and some buttons you probably are wondering well how many different ways can you design a phone who knows the HTC Titan looks like the desire HD it looks like a lot of previous devices to come from HTC which isn't a bad thing it's a high quality device the screen is beautiful its large a little bit low in terms of pixel density but that shouldn't bother most people so coming up soon we are going to have a full software tour of Windows Phone 7 mango as it runs on the HTC Titan you're probably curious to see how this thing performs with a faster processor if you like this video please give us a thumbs up and of course thank you for watching that's it for now room
