HTC Radar 4G Review
By Rob Webber on December 9th, 2011
Let’s start with a closer look at the screen. Screens are a very important feature of smart phones because they are heavily interactive and need to be very responsive to the user. The HTC Radar 4G provides you with a generous 3.8 inch screen, which should be plenty big enough for most needs. It offers 480 by 800 pixels and can display 16 million colors. This provides clarity and a vibrant display no matter what you are using the phone for.
Another key feature of many mobile phones is the camera. Nowadays more and more phones are expected to have a front facing camera as well. This is in order to give you the opportunity to take part in video calls should you wish to. However this strangely isn’t available for the phone yet, so they must have been building it with the future in mind. If you like taking pictures of yourself using your phone though, it’ll come in rather useful. The HTC Radar 4G phone does not disappoint in this area, providing you with a front facing camera that only falls down with its lowly 0.3 megapixel resolution. However the main camera is a healthier 5 megapixels, and it also comes with an LED flash should you need to use it.
Size wise the mobile comes in at 120.5mm long by 61.5mm wide, measuring 10.9mm thick. As such it is a nice size without being too chunky, and it feels nice in your hand as you’re using it. As you look at the front of the phone you’ll see the front facing camera lens on the top right, with the three familiar capacitive buttons for Windows 7 spaced out below the screen at the bottom.
All in all, the phone has plenty to offer the average user. It may not be at the top end of the smart phone market, but it is high enough up there to be of interest to many people. The sharp design at this price point is another attraction that will draw more people to the HTC Radar 4G.
