The 7 Mozart From HTC - A Closer Look
Smartphone specialist HTC have unveiled another excellent addition to their range with the HTC 7 Mozart.
This model moves away from the familiar Android platform to utilise the superb new Windows 7 OS from Microsoft.
It is evident that HTC have focused on this units multimedia facilities as the standout feature.
Where as the sister release, the HD 7, wowed with its screen, this has been trimmed on this model to give a more usable device, but one benefiting from improvements in other areas.
Whereas the majority of models on this operating system incorporate a good quality 5 million pixel camera, HTC have upped the stakes by using an 8 mega pixel device, with the resulting difference in picture quality clearly evident.
Despite the lack of an optical zoom, features such as a flash and auto focusing are always welcomed, not only helping to create nicer shots, but also making the actual taking of the photograph a much easier task.
Geo Tagging facilities are featured, meaning the phones in built GPS can place a geographical location on every shot that you take.
Another feature is the ability to snap a photograph direct from the homescreen, allowing you to instantly email or MMS the resulting picture.
In keeping with the high standard found on the camera, the phone offers the opportunity to capture moving images in glorious high definition quality.
The results as you would expect are great, however the units 8GB of internal memory can be easily swallowed up should you choose to film extensive amounts of footage.
The HTC 7 Mozart makes full use of the exciting homescreen offered by the new OS.
Rather than being faced with page after page of widgets, the new interface features larger areas known as hubs which are place vertically on the screen.
These large tiles are capable of displaying various information directly onto your homescreen, instead of you having to access different options in order to retrieve it.
Not only is this useful, but it also looks superb, the tiles looking vibrant and fully utilising the Mozarts excellent screen.
With a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, image quality is unrivalled, with up to 16 million colours able to be displayed.
Looking at the specification you could question the choice not to use AMOLED on this phone, however HTC answer that emphatically with a TFT screen boasting good viewing angles and an overall very slim depth, within a millimetre of its AMOLED rivals.
The HTC 7 Mozart looks similar to the brands hugely popular Desire in terms of size, and if this model can replicate the appeal of that phone, then HTC have found another sure fire success.
