HTC Inspire 4G Review, Specs, Price, cell phone mobile, HTC was the first smartphone manufacturer to work with Google, and its experience shows. In the past three years, the company has grown from being a bit player in the small smartphone space to a leading phone manufacturer with close to 10 percent of the market. A dedication to the user experience may be the reason why. The HTC Inspire 4G is the company’s first 4G device on AT&T, but it may be the best Android device on the carrier to date.
Measuring 4.8”x2.7”x.46, and weighing 5.78 ounces with its 4.3″ display and unibody metal aluminum frame design, the HTC Inspire 4G is quite similar to the HTC HD7. At the bottom of the display are a set of touch sensitive buttons.
Because the 4.3″ display is on the large side, we cant help but wish they had thrown on a kickstand onto the Inspire 4G, like HTC did with the HD7. The Inspire 4G’s unusually placed battery cover, which is located on the right side of the device, is also difficult to remove but that is hardly a deal breaker. The handset also fathers a 3.5 mm stereo audio jack, G-sensor, digital compass, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor. Overall, the Inspire 4G is a good looking phone with a sleek and professional appearance.
The 4.3″ display on the HTC Inspire 4G with its 480×800 resolution is very, very good. It’s sharp and bright with great color reproduction. The HTC Inspire 4G is pretty much a beast. The device is running on a Qualcomm QSD8255 1GHz Snapdragon processor and it pretty much blew away the benchmarks on Quadrant, making it the fastest Android phone we’ve tested to date. In particular, it earned a 1720 score, making it even faster than the Nexus One 2.2+ and Moto Droid X 2.2+.
The HTC Inspire 4G packs in an 8-megapixel color camera with auto focus and flash. Unfortunately the device lacks a dedicated camera button, but it also features a touch focus system that works very well. Photos and video produced by the camera are pretty good, and a little better than your average smartphone.
Battery life is advertised as up to 6 hours talk time and 15.5 days standby, but with several widgets running, HSPA+ turned on, and the occasional phone conversation, we could barely make it through the day without the battery going dead.
