greetings all this is deke Adams with pocketnow.com and today we're gonna do the unboxing for the HTC Vivid from AT&T so sit back relax enjoy the show so the HTC Vivid is a 1.2 the Earth's dual-core processor I believe it's the scorpion processor using a Qualcomm chipset it's also a 4g device as you can see here on the documentation the Quick Start Guide here and then here's the actual phone and then underneath here we have a wall wart and the USB charging cable and then some other documentation let's go ahead we'll take a look at the phone a little closer so the HTC Vivid has a 4.5 inch s LCD display running 960 x 540 is the resolution the oddball thing here is that it's only got two hundred and sixty two colors k 262k colors versus most devices these days have 16 million colors so that's going to be an interesting twist on the device once we really start taking a closer look at it screen seems pretty pretty bright now we've got the standard four buttons down here across the bottom a little bit of a lip going around the outside of the display here we've got the front-facing camera up at the top and then it's got kind of an angled look on the sides there and pivots background to a hard angle on the back at the charging port right here and then on the back we've got a kind of metal faceplate with a little bit of a textured bump here but not more visual than actually providing any grip then we got the rear facing camera with a dual flash that rear facing camera is an 8 megapixel on the top here we've got the power button and the headphone jack here in here and then on this side we've got the volume rocker there on the bottom nothing more there the battery cover slides with a little push here like this little metal plate seems pretty solid but it's kind of an odd build there when I actually looked at this I kind of wondered if that was supposed to be looking like that we got the speaker pour it up here and then the battery and this is the sim card slot and then right here is our micro SD card slot but you can't get access to it without pulling the battery so you can't put a new card in there no card is included it is expandable up to I believe 32 gigs of the external memory ATT's documentation says that this device has up to 16 gigs of storage the total space on this particular vice at least that is showing is 8.8 3 gigabytes and with the available space of being 8.83 and then the phone storage internal storage I show us three point eight two gigabytes we're probably looking at 16 gigs total plus whatever is used up by the OS and you see there's no available space there for the SD card because there's not one installed here so then if we go here and look at our software information we're running Android 2 3 4 and HT sense 30 on this particular device weight wise it's six point two four ounces compare that to say the samsung galaxy s2 which comes in a much lighter 4.60 ANZ's it does some have some heft it feels a little odd in my hands this strong taper and the this harsh edge here really is it a little different after using the epic 4g touch from sprint this is going to be an interesting device to see how it feels in my hand size-wise I've got very large hand so really this is not an abnormal screen size for me I like the display so far that will compare the colors and take a look at how that turns out so the HTC Vivid does have all the typical Wi-Fi Bluetooth capabilities it does have an accelerometer or a proximity sensor does have the compass gps support I can't find any of the documentation that says that it has a gyroscope but we'll make sure to test that with some of the tools we've got to verify what it really has as far as internals and the hardware tour touchscreen obviously in so far it seems to be fairly snappy but I haven't installed anything or put any other applications on it and we've got you know the HTC Sense here you can slide up and down through the apps and that wraps up our unboxing of the HTC Vivid from AT&T if you have any comments or questions would like to look at something specific in the hardware and software tours leave a message below and we'll get back to them make sure to give us a thumbs up if you like this video thanks for watching
