It is called HTC 7 Trophy and is part of the new collection of terminals that HTC will bring out with the Windows Phone 7 operating system. The presentation of the new Microsoft platform has caused real excitement in the world, since from now on, Android, Symbian or Apple will not be the only strong competitors in this emerging market. The fact is that one of the phones that has a high probability of reaching Spain is the HTC 7 Trophy, a phone of which some rumors had already circulated, although until today it has not been possible to confirm itsofficial technical sheet.
In this sense, we can say that the HTC 7 Trophy is one of the most advanced terminals of the Taiwanese family, especially considering that it has been launched in the context of Windows Phone 7 as a brand new platform. How could it be otherwise, we must talk about a fairly extensive touch screen, in addition to an internal processor signed by Qualcomm. It boasts a good camera with several added features and is also capable of recording video in high definition. Boasting a rounded and ergonomic look, the HTC 7 Trophy will be soldin Spain by the hand of Vodafone.
Design and display
The new HTC 7 Trophy keeps the rounded shapes that so far we have seen in the most advanced terminals of the Taiwanese firm. The large screen occupies part of the surface of the phone, a detail that those looking for a touch panel but practical will appreciate. In this regard, it must be said that the HTC 7 Trophy measuring 118.5 x 61.5 x 12 mm and weighs 140 grams.
The multilayer touch screen extends up to 3.8 inches, so you have to give it up to 480 x 800 pixels of resolution. The panel is an LCD, far from adapting to Samsung's Super AMOLED technology that HTC has used on some occasions. In any case, we can say that at the bottom of the screen we will find up to three touch buttons that give access to the phone's menu, direct searches or even backspace.
In fact, the operation follows the basic patterns of any smartphone signed by HTC. In this case, the first is that the HTC 7 Trophy works with the new Windows Phone 7 operating system . In theory, users should have access to a new model, much more agile and intuitive than the previous one from Microsoft.
Photographic and multimedia camera
How could it be otherwise, HTC has bet heavily on the phone's camera. So much so, that the HTC 7 Trophy features a camera with five megapixel sensor up, catching up with the best mobile phones that are on the market today. Yes, bridging the gap with the latest Nokia handsets and Samsung to reach eight twelve megapixels. It is clear that it is the least we could ask for.
But this is not all that the phone's camera includes. We know that the device HTC also incorporates LED Flash, detail allow us to take better pictures in situations poor lighting. At the same time, the system also incorporates autofocus, geotagging and face detector. As if this were not enough, the camera of this HTC 7 Trophy will also allow us to record video in high definition, or what is the same, at 720p.
In the multimedia section, the HTC Trophy does not fall short. We know that it is possible to play audio, video and image files, as long as it is in the formats MP4, M4B, MP3, Windows Media Audio (WMA9), 3GP, 3G2, MP4, M4V, MBR, Windows Media Video 9 (WMV9) and VC-1. In this sense, users who have this phone can also enjoy Radio FM Stereo.
Connectivity and Operating System
The new HTC 7 Trophy comes specially prepared for connectivity. This means that we are looking at a device that operates on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 and HSDPA 900/2100 networks . The HTC 7 Trophy is perfectly compatible with 3G networks, which will be very useful for us to access broadband Internet with total agility. In turn, users will have the ability to access Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n networks, as long as we have a wireless network within reach. In turn, the phone also incorporates Bluetooth 2.1 connection with A2DP.
But if there is something that we have to emphasize in this HTC 7 Trophy it is the operating system. And it is that since yesterday, we know that the HTC phone incorporates the Windows Phone 7 platform. In turn, the device has a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor running at 1GHz, in addition to 576 MB of RAM and 512 MB of ROM memory.
Battery and availability
The phone incorporates a 1,300 mAh battery, whose durability has not yet been specified, although we can assume that it will guarantee us more than 250 minutes of conversation (both in 2G and 3G), in addition to about 260 hours of standby time, in 2G modes. and 3G. Regarding availability, it must be said that the HTC 7 Trophy will be available very soon in Spain. As confirmed by Microsoft itself, the new touch terminal with Windows Phone 7 will be made available to Spanish customers through Vodafone.
The price and possible rates are still a mystery, so we will have to wait until early 2011 to find out about the cost of the terminal.
HTC 7 Trophy, Opinions.
It is clear that the HTC 7 Trophy promises. For starters, it incorporates the new Windows Phone 7 operating system, specially prepared to compete with the big boys: Symbian or Android. In any case, it will be necessary to see if the operation of the system on the HTC terminals is as expected. Time will tell. For now, it must be said that the screen of the HTC 7 Trophy is somewhat reduced, since it only reaches 3.8 inches, especially if we compare it with the panels of the latest smartphones that have hit the market.
Finally, to say that the connectivity options are ideal for those users who want to remain connected throughout the day, accessing mail and navigating quickly through the Internet.
