Posted: 2011-09-01 23:49

Both phones are running on Microsoft's latest mobile operating system Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango). The HTC Titan is the powerhouse of the two with a huge 4.7 inch display and a 1.5 GHz processor. 4.7 inch is out of the ordinary, but the display resolution of 480 x 800 pixels are more sane.

HTC has obviously equipped both phones with decent cameras. On paper the camera specifications looks good. The Titan has a 8 megapixel camera with a 28 mm lens and a f/2.2 aperture while HTC Radar has a 5 megapixel resolution and a 28 mm lens also with a f/2.2 aperture. Both models have a front camera for video calls. The Titan has a 1.3 megapixel resolution and Radar has a VGA resolution. Even if the phone is locked, the camera will be started up by pressing the dedicated camera key.

We haven't found any information about expandable memory, but 640K* 16 GB should be enough for anyone. We haven't tested any of the devices yet, but the only differences we noticed are; 5 vs 8 MP camera, 8 vs 16 GB storage, 1520 vs 1600 mAh battery, single vs dual LED lights, 3 vs 5 type of sensors, 3.8 vs 4.7 inch display and of course the 1 GHz vs 1.5 GHz processor. Why do all manufactures put the most powerful processors in the largest devices. Why can't I have a normal 3.8 inch smartphone with a super fast CPU?
