In the Windows Phone platform, the original HTC Titan had the distinction of being the smartphone with the biggest display in the whole ecosystem. Because of this, the handset from the Taiwanese smartphone and tablet manufacturer enjoyed a warm reception from our smartphone-crazed brethren who are fanboys of Windows Phone devices.Buy the HTC Titan II starting at $149.
During its time, the HTC Titan was one of the better performing devices in the platform and its large display not only took the consumption of multimedia files to a higher level but also made it more enjoyable. However, the handset only stayed for 6 months in the shelves of AT&T because its successor, the even more capable HTC Titan II, is already available.
As for the HTC Titan II, it reached official status when AT&T and HTC jointly announced the existence of the handset back in January at CES 2012. The device finally hit the shelves of the wireless provider a couple of months later in April and since then has been one of the bestselling Windows Phone devices in the lineup of AT&T.
Similar to its predecessor, the HTC Titan II also packs a nice big display so it only follows that the chassis of the handset is a bit bigger than that of an average-sized smartphone. The dimensions of the HTC Titan II come up to 132 x 69 x 13 mm while its weight is at 147 grams. Just like the other devices that rolled off of the assembly line of HTC, the Titan II also packs a solid build quality and feels very comfortable to hold in the hand even for extended periods of time.
Like the original HTC Titan, the HTC Titan II still packs the biggest display in the Windows Phone ecosystem. However, aside from its massive display, the handset also boasts of having the camera with the highest sensor resolution in the whole Windows Phone market with its rear-facing 16MP shooter with a backside illuminator. This ensures that the images captured by the camera of the HTC Titan II display exceptional image quality which will give you the option of leaving the trusty point and shoot at home.
As for its specs sheet, the handset already runs Windows Phone 7.5 Mango for its operating system and this draws power from the QualComm S2 SnapDragon which brings to the handset a Scorpion processor that runs at 1.5 Ghz along with 512 MB of RAM. The storage space on the handset comes up to 16GB but this is not expandable so a user should be vigilant when it comes to saving files on the HTC Titan II. As for its display, the handset packs a “Titan”-ic 4.7-inch SuperLCD panel with a 480 x 800 resolution while the 16MP rear shooter of the HTC Titan II is paired with a 1.3MP webcam out front.
