The rise of smartphones in the last three years has seen brands like HTC become heavyweights in the world of phones. The range of Android phones has always impressed, and now they’re turning their attention to the Windows 7 operating system, with several new models. The 7 Mozart is one such phone, striking a great balance between compact size and features.
If you were to pick up any phone running the new OS, you’d likely find very little difference between the models, as Microsoft has set strict specifications that the phones must meet. So the Mozart features a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, which at a speed of 1Ghz not only ticks the boxes but is also more than enough to handle anything the phone can throw at it. None of these new models feature a micro SD card slot, so internal memory is vital. Therefore, the drive comes with 8GB of storage, which should provide ample room for all kinds of files. HTC has chosen to make the multimedia elements of this model better than average, so that audio lovers can enjoy their music through any headset of their choice with excellent clarity thanks to Dolby Mobile. Those who like to listen to radio broadcasts can do so thanks to a built-in tuner on this model, which also supports RDS broadcasts, bringing a wealth of information to your screen. Instead of sticking to a 5-megapixel camera, HTC opted for an 8-million-pixel one on this model along with an excellent HD video recording feature. Both produce good results, and the high-quality screen is perfect for displaying them.
The HTC 7 Mozart’s display impresses with a high resolution of 480 x 800, which given its 3.7-inch size makes images and graphics look gorgeous. The overall measurements of the phone are a compact 119 x 60.2 x 11.9 mm. At 130 grams, the model is also one of the lightest in its class. An important part of the use of these phones is focused on online use, whether it is to surf the web or retrieve emails. For this area of the phone to be effective, a good online connection must be established, whether you are at home or on the go. The Mozart covers all the bases, with wireless LAN allowing a WiFi connection when within range of a personal network. All three recognized speeds of the service are catered for, including the latest and fastest N rating. While traveling, 3G should easily cover you in most circumstances, but if you stray out of range, you don’t need to lose service as you have services like GPRS and EDGE waiting in the wings.
HTC continues to impress with its innovative and technically excellent phones, and the 7 Mozart is no exception. Perfect for those who require full functionality but without the extra size that some models have, this unit is sure to be a hit.
