During its stay in the shelves, the original HTC Titan got the distinction of being the handset with the biggest screen real estate in the Windows Phone ecosystem with its massive 4.7-inch display. Despite staying in AT&T shelves for only 6 months, the handset is finally getting ready to retire because its successor, the equally massive HTC Titan II, has already made its debut in the shelves of the wireless provider, getting released last April 8 alongside the Nokia Lumia 900.
Buy the HTC Titan II starting at $149.
Looking back, the handset was the only worthy announcement that the Taiwanese smartphone and tablet manufacturer made at CES 2012 back in January and now, we finally come face to face with the handset. Sad to say, the HTC Titan II was eclipsed by the Nokia Lumia 900 in terms of popularity with the handset from the Finnish manufacturer instantly making it to the first and third spots in the bestseller list of Amazon Wireless.
Despite this being overshadowed by the Nokia Lumia 900, the HTC Titan II still brings an impressive resume to the table, and some Windows Phone fanboys go as far as saying that the handset is even more impressive than the Nokia handset. In fact, the HTC Titan II not only boasts of having the biggest display in the whole Windows Phone ecosystem, it also comes equipped with a camera that packs the biggest sensor resolution in the spectrum at 16MP. In fact, we have the full specs sheet of the HTC Titan II coming right up to get you up close and personal with the HTC flagship handset in the Windows Phone playground.
As mentioned earlier, the HTC Titan II reached official status when it was jointly announced by AT&T and HTC at CES 2012 in January and the handset finally made it to the shelves of the wireless provider last Sunday, April 8. Like its predecessor, the HTC Titan II has “titan”-ic proportions and its frame has measurements of 132 x 69 x 13 mm but is not that hefty at its catch weight of 147 grams despite its massive size. Under the hood, the Windows Phone 7.5 Mango operating system of the handset is powered by its QualComm S2 Snapdragon chipset while a 1.5 GHz Scorpion processor works in conjunction with 512MB of RAM for a very responsive and snappy performance.
The onboard storage of the HTC Titan II handset is rated at 16GB but this is not expandable so you have to make do with what comes with the handset. Its display is equally as massive as that of its predecessor with the SuperLCD panel of the handset measuring 4.7 inches and having a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. Its other standout feature as mentioned earlier is its rear-facing shooter with its sensor resolution of 16MP with autofocus and dual-LED flash while its front-facing webcam has a sensor resolution of 1.3MP.
Should you be in jumping ship to the Windows Phone platform and want a handset with a big-ass display and impressive shooting department, the HTC Titan II is your best bet and this handset can be had at select AT&T authorized retailers for only $149.99 with a new two-year agreement with AT&T.
