Many said this year's CES would be the true coming out party for Microsoft's Windows Phone platform, and HTC didn't disappoint. The Chinese handset maker announced the TITAN II, the company's first 4G LTE phone running Windows Phone 7.5.
Outside of its ability to run on AT&T's high-speed 4G LTE network, the TITAN II's spec list is hefty: 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 processor, 4.7-inch super LCD display, and a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, and, the show-stealing 16 megapixel rear camera. Yep, you read that right: 16 megapixels. There's also a dual-LED flash, image stabilization, and autofocus. That same camera can also record 720p video making it more than a viable replacement for anyone's standalone point-and-shoot camera.
Peep the press release below.
“HTC’s history of innovation in 4G technology includes delivering the first 4G-powered devices to each major carrier in the U.S., so it is exciting today to continue that leadership with our first 4G LTE Windows Phone, the HTC TITAN II,” said Peter Chou, CEO of HTC Corp. “This full-featured smartphone combines HTC’s design with AT&T’s high-speed 4G LTE network and Microsoft’s powerful Windows Phone software, giving people more of what they crave.”
