Standing up to its name, the HTC Amaze 4G is indeed an amazing smart phone. This starts with its powerful dual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion processor and an Adreno 220 GPU that speed up everything, from the mere sending of a text message through the opening of photo and video files to downloading movies from the Web.
This, of course, is enhanced with the phone’s use of T-Mobile’s 4G (HSPA+42) network. Browsing the Internet can actually be faster than the average home connection with download speeds of 8 Mbps and even peaking at 20 Mbps.
Running on an Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system, you get improved notification bar, better navigation, and enhanced interface with new icons. With its multitasking capabilities, you can run several apps at a time. Supporting Adobe Flash Player 10.1, you get access to the full Web.
Internal memory is 16 GB, but if this already substantial storage is still not enough for all your movie and video files, you can upgrade to 32 GB using a microSD card. RAM is 1 GB.
Equipped with a 4.3-inch qHD Super LCD display with support for T-Mobile TV, you will enjoy watching TV shows, videos, and movies with clear and crisp images as well as vivid and vibrant colors. It is a capacitive touch screen with multi-touch.
The HTC Amaze boasts of a camera with an 8-megapixel sensor that captures still photos with 3,264 x 2,448 pixels and videos with a resolution of 1080p @ 30 fps. For shooting when lights are insufficient, the camera relies on a dual LED flash and video light, a backside illuminated sensor, and a wide f/2.2 aperture. It also has geo-tagging and face detection so you will never forget where your photos were taken, and you will never have blurred face in your photos again. An app allows you to share your photos on Facebook, Picasa, or Flickr with a single touch.
A secondary camera with 2 megapixels is mounted at the front for video chats, whether using the phone’s Wi-Fi connectivity of T-Mobile’s 4G.
