hey guys this is adam lane with pocket calm and you're watching the hardware tour of the t-mobile HTC radar 4g you are so right away when you take it out of the box it's got this sticker on the screen that actually shows you where things are so it shows you the power button the volume and it tells you what they do so that's a pretty nice little feature there so here's the screen there and it's got this nice white body in the silver metal unibody construction there let's take a look at the device there's our sensors so proximity and ambient light sensors there here's your speaker grill front-facing camera of course your team only HTC logos the top is your power button it's a pretty easy to press so that's good there's your headphone jack volume control and camera button much easier to feel then the hd7 has kind of a little different texture on it so you can feel the difference there there's our capacitive buttons for Windows Phone and there's your micro yo speak micro USB port and we'll said slot and on back is your speaker and 5 megapixel camera and a flash now you're probably thinking 5 megapixels HTC that might not be very good for example the hd7 also had a 5 megapixel camera but it to kind of pink pictures and whatnot I'll tell you right now this is a lot better it's got a wider aperture with f 2.2 I believe and the flash it works pretty nicely we get in some pretty good color now let's look at the screen so there's how the screens compare color over here is a little bit warmer where does this is a cooler color but we get much better contrast on the radar so there's that now the battery is not removable here but you still have to put the sim card in somehow so this little rubber chin at the bottom slides off I don't like so there we go and that's where you can put your sim card there's also some contacts there to make the device shut off because he is saying goodbye so when I remove that there's your contacts it's going to shut itself off so you can remove the sim and that's about it that's in there the plastics of the kind of translucent which is pretty cool and when we slide it back on should click into place there we go now this might be my device but this kind of a imperfection there in the cut I've seen the european version i wish it was a little nicer but might be just mine that fits pretty nicely and it's rebooting because i've removed that thing there's your hardware it's a 1 gigahertz 8 megs of storage so not a huge amount but this is a budget device it's only nine nine dollars on t-mobile so you got to think of it that way but it feels really nice in the hand is a good size 3.7 inch screen is small enough so that my fingers can reach each part with one hand but big enough to see everything pretty nicely no way thats it for our hardware tour as stay tuned for more will cover the camera software and another video that's it for now
