T-Mobile may not be getting the iPhone 4S, but it isn’t letting that stop it bulk up its smartphone range. Instead its Android coming to the rescue, with the HTC Amaze 4G expected to play a significant part: taking the Sensation XE as its starting point, the Amaze 4G throws in 42Mbps HSPA+ support and a full 1GB of RAM. It’s fresh to the SlashGear testbench today, so check out our first impressions after the cut.
It’s not hard to see the Amaze 4G’s lineage, though that’s no bad thing. The Sensation XE is a solid device, and T-Mobile’s version keeps the 4.3-inch qHD resolution display – bright, broad viewing angles and solid contrast – and 8-megapixel camera with 1080p HD video support, along with HTC Watch and a front-facing 2-megapixel camera. What’s new, though, is some of the software.
HTC has built a new camera app, including a special composite photo mode which can fire off five shots in rapid succession and then glue them together, HDR-style, to make a single good frame. Unusually there are two camera buttons, too: one each dedicated for videos and photos. We’ll be interested to see how well the f2.2 wide-angle lens and back-illuminated sensor perform, since HTC has had mixed results with its cameras in the past.
