HTC Thunderbolt 4G Android Smartphone Review
HTC is the first manufacturer to offer a 4G operator, if the United States, it was sent Sprint HTC EVO 4G. Last year, HTC 4G promised to return with another company in the first place. A day later, the company announced Ray smartphone with Verizon Wireless. A few months after the announcement, although there were many rumors and release dates for the phone, but only recently made available to consumers to buy.
If the device is the first in the U.S. 4G LTE, Thunderbolt, of course, a hot smartphone, users can not wait to get their hands on. It not only offers 4G speeds, but also has a 4.3 inch, 1 GHz Snapdragon processor faster, a lot of storage space and its ability to quickly connect up to eight devices equipped with Wi-Fi Hotspot on their mobile phones .
Ray HTC runs on Android 2.2. It is the first smartphone to use the Verizon Wireless LTE network 4G, with download speeds of 5 to 12 Mbps and upload speed of 2.5 Mbps 4G coverage is not, always be respected through connection 3G data network of Verizon Wireless. "The phone is now available in stores and online Verizon Wireless $ 249.99 with a two-year contract for new customers.
Verizon Wireless and HTC is definitely a phone that gets a lot of attention. But it's so good it is? Read on as we are in the practice of Verizon Wireless HTC Thunderbolt.
Given the success of HTC and Sprint use the EVO 4G, HTC reason we do not see the need to reorganize all the difference when it comes to development of the beam. As you can see from the above specifications, two phones are similar in many respects. Perhaps the two most notable differences is little difference in weight (Rayo more difficult), differences in storage (Ray comes with a 32 GB MicroSD card instead of the EVO 8 GB cards) and the fact that the LTE cover, no 4G WiMAX beam.
Another notable difference between the EVO 4G and the Lightning is displayed when the phone and look around on crutches. Lightning to be above that, in turn, makes it more stable. This position is useful if you often watch the video clips on the phone.
Like many other Android phones popular today, fell in love with a 1 GHz processor also comes with Android 2.2 and HTC Sense Guide. We hope that Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) will soon be seen on this phone. Despite the lack of an official date was announced, the word on the street is that HTC Android Ray will update 2.3 for the second quarter of this year. With Android 2.3, you can expect a higher speed, longer battery life, redesigned user interface and a new and improved keyboard.
Before the beam would consume a large 4.3-inch TFT WVGA capacitive touchscreen. Directly below the screen, the four standard buttons with backlight (Home, Menu, Back and Search). These buttons light up and provide tactile feedback when pressed. In front of the camera is 1.3 MP front zipper on the right just above the screen. In our review, collected fingerprints from the screen flashes, but does not affect performance. Also, fingerprints are not worse than other smartphones.
Although at first glance has a rectangular shape with curved edges of telephone and fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. On the left side of the phone is the microUSB port. Ray has the right to find the volume control. The power button and 3.5 mm headphone jack located on the top of the phone.
If Ray board room immediately 8MP and dual LED flash and support. Very strong position and does a good job to support the phone, sitting at the table.
In the back of the phone, you will also notice that the battery compartment stops just above the foot. If you remove the lid, you will see a microSD slot and SIM slot. To access one of these places, you must remove the battery from the phone.
Ray comes with Android 2.2 (Froyo) is installed. As of this writing, no official release date for the update of Android 2.3, also known as the carrot was announced, but is expected to update the phone once to get it. In addition to Android 2.2, HTC has its own user interface is generally known as the HTC Sense.
HTC Sense offers some useful features like turning off the phone when the phone is alarming. Another interesting feature of the interface HTC Sense vignettes "jump" on the screen, in September, making it easy to switch from one house to another screen very quickly and easily. You can use the thumbnail images, click the Start button twice. Holding down the power button, a list of the eight most recently used applications. You can view a list of recent programs and advice, pull down the notification bar.
There are some links to applications and applications that are preinstalled on the beam that Bitbop, Blockbuster, Friend Stream, Kindle, allows Golf 2, Rhapsody, Rock Band, Slacker, and more. Of course, there are some applications, such as Verizon Wireless V CAST Apps, V CAST and VZ Navigator media.
Bitbop is a subscription service provides access to TV programs directly from the phone. Friend Stream brings updates and other information from a variety of social networks in one place. There is also an FM radio tuner and its application in the phone, but you have a helmet. 2 Golf is a trial version of the game. Rock Band iconostasis application will take you to download a version of Rock Band.
During our review, Ray and Zippy had a great response, thanks in part to the next generation of mobile 1GHz Snapdragon processor. We also appreciate that the internal memory of 8 GB and 32 GB microSD card preinstalled Lightning. We were a little more accessible MicroSD card (must remove the battery to access it), but in fact it is probably a minor problem for many users.
4.3-inch WVGA in the Ray is a colorful and lively. The viewing angles are very good on the phone. On screen the sunlight is difficult but not impossible.
Here is a 1.3 megapixel camera on the front rack is designed for video chat. It is important to note that lightning does not come with an application of the camera for video chat. Worse, we could not video chat software that could support this phone model is available. Skype for Android is not yet compatible with video chat, and Qik application allows video calls are not guaranteed to Lightning. While we like the camera to see if they are not very useful without the software.
In the back of the phone has an 8 megapixel camera and dual LED flash. Back room is capable of recording high definition video (720p). Overall I am satisfied with the quality of the images that were able to capture 8 megapixel phone. The ability to focus on the touch screen and press another button on the screen to display useful. Dual LED flash on the back of the phone for help if you are trying to capture an image, but still limits the distance that light can come. In addition, the flash can be bright for a particular record.
HTC you claim 378 minutes (6.3 hours) for the use and 330 hours (13.75 days) in anticipation of the beam of the battery. During our phone, we have used, which often use the telephone - internet, telephone, SMS, check email, take some photos, etc. Our first impression was that the battery tends to drain quickly. Use a light day, we were able to end the day (approximately 14 hours) without the phone bill. Of course, battery life depends on how you use the phone and the features you use most often.
For another point of view of the battery, I ran a test where I created a website with a mixture of images and text. Page will automatically refresh every three minutes. Ray screen brightness by 50% and Wi-Fi off.
Ray first Linpack test, if the speed of the phone. Ray An3DBench brands to get a Nexus S, Samsung Captivate, Samsung Galaxy S 4G and Samsung Epic 4G. SunSpider JavaScript HTC first ray on the edge of another popular HTC EVO 4G link.
