It’s hard to believe that only eight months ago the HTC One X was one of the largest, most powerful phones on the market. In the period since, we’ve seen quad-core chips become common and 720p displays the status quo. And yet, the One X has held up remarkably well since its release. Its design [...]
On paper, the HTC Amaze is our dream phone. Rounded and comfortable, dual-toned (silver and black) with a gorgeous 4.3″ qHD display, dedicated camera and camcorder buttons to accent its no-lag 8MP camera, a 1.5Ghz dual-core processor with enough RAM to feed an army. There is definitely a lot to like about the Amaze, which [...]
Android hackers are nothing if not resourceful. Only days after being shown a preview of Sense 3.5, the new version shipping soon on the female-centric HTC Bliss, modders have been able to take an early beta leak and turn it into a working ROM on the Desire HD. This ROM runs Android 2.3.4. While there [...]
Remember that odd 7″ tablet that HTC released earlier this year that was running a highly-modified version of Android 2.3 Gingerbread instead of tablet-specific Honeycomb? We reviewed the Flyer (and thoroughly enjoyed using it), but yearned for some tablet-specific Honeycomb apps. We never knew when the company, who did commit to upgrading the tab to [...]
Somewhere along the line, HTC figured out that there are two kinds of smartphone users: those who need a screen over four inches, and those who don’t. In all seriousness, though, with the announcement of their latest two Windows Phone 7 devices, both of which ship with Mango out of the box, they are appealing [...]
The HTC Flyer is a tablet, but it’s running a phone OS. Sound familiar? The Samsung Galaxy Tab, also a 7″ Android tablet, was released last year to mildly positive reviews, ran on a modified version of Android 2.2 Froyo, and ended up being a quiet hit. At the time it was the only real [...]
Less than two weeks ago, the ITC claimed that HTC, the world-renowned handset manufacturer famous for its Android handsets, most recently the Sensation 4G, had infringed on two of Apple’s patents. This was several days after the company had won a victory against Apple in another dispute, claiming that they had violated two patents which [...]
HTC isn’t messing around these days. It wants every base covered, regardless of market size. It wants big screens, small screens, landscape QWERTY devices, and now, with the HTC Status, a keyboarded portrait device. The well-trodden BlackBerry territory may not be the first place you’d think Android would go (though it has gone there before [...]
Bell’s HTC Sensation 4G has been out for two weeks today, and to commemorate the occasion (or perhaps by complete coincidence) the company has pushed out a small OTA update bringing smoother overall performance and faster GPS lock capabilities, along with a newer kernel. The build date is June 13th (the shipping version was June 2nd). One [...]
In May, when HTC backtracked on their bootloader policy and promised to unlock them in all future phones, we were left wondering if the policy would apply to current devices. Well, HTC has come out and stated that, yes, starting in August they will be released maintenance patches to unlock the bootloader of the worldwide [...]
