Телефон HTC Inspire 4G

HTC 4G Inspire работает на технологии HSPA + 4G, которая может обеспечить скорость передачи данных в 4 раза быстрее, чем сети 3G.

HTC 4G Inspire - доступный по цене смартфон с большим дисплеем. Новый HTC Sense обеспечивает более быстрое время загрузки и другие усовершенствования. Он также имеет 8-мегапиксельную камеру, которая делает отличные фотографии.

Смартфон довольно большой и тяжелый, и крышку батареи трудно снять. Нет фронтальной камеры.

Хотя двухъядерные смартфон сейчас встречаются часто, HTC 4G Inspire выступает в качестве одного из лучших в категории высококлассных устройств Android и является прекрасной покупкой.

The 4G wars are on, and the carriers are getting quite aggressive in their campaigns. Though a little slow to start, AT&T has finally joined the fray and announced at CES 2011 that it would launch its LTE network in mid-2011 and release 20 4G devices this year. The first of which is the HTC Inspire 4G. Available starting February 13, the Inspire operates on the carrier's HSPA+ network (now recognized as 4G), which AT&T says can provide data speeds up to 4X faster than its 3G network. Unfortunately, we

The HTC Inspire 4G is affordably priced and boasts a large display. The Android 2.2 smartphone runs on AT&T's HSPA+ network and offers mobile hot-spot capabilities. New HTC Sense provides faster boot time and other enhancements. It also has an 8-megapixel camera that takes excellent photos.

The smartphone is rather large and heavy, and the battery cover is difficult to remove. We didn't experience great 4G speeds. AT&T blocks third-party apps. Lacks a front-facing camera.

Though dual-core smartphones are on the way, the HTC Inspire 4G stands as one of AT&T's best, high-end Android devices and is an incredible value.

AT&T расширил свои сферы мощно упакованными Android моделями 2011, и HTC INSPIRE 4G - один из основных соперников в Wireless Royale Битве до смерти. Телефон не только поддерживает последние HSPA AT&T's + скорости, но и его HTC Sense UI и Android 2.2 находятся у вершины иерархии во временной шкале смартфонов. Он также хвастается камерой на 8 мегапикселей с записью HD видео 720p, и богатым 4.3-дюймовый WVGA емкостным сенсорным дисплеем. Последний HTC высококачественный Android телефон - архитектурное отклонение от стада приземленных смартфонов на сегодняшнем рынке, и снабженное большим объемом памяти для игр или приложений Android Market. HTC Inspire - сейчас один из премьерных вариантов на рынке, и его $99 ценник в двухгодовом контракте дважды достоин покупки. Наблюдайте за Apple, и приготовтесь стать Вдохновленным.

В итоге наших приключений с HTC INSPIRE 4G мы пришли к мысли, что одно точно: Apple возглавляет бухту без весла. Хотя, у них фактически есть одно очень популярное весло. Однако, оно собирается стать такими телефонами, как Inspire 4G с ценником в 100$, которые собираются повлиять на пользователей вдали от мерцающей Death Star Стива Джобса.

AT&T has been broadening its hemispheres with power packed Android models for 2011, and the HTC Inspire 4G is one of its primary contenders within the carrier-wide Wireless Battle Royale to the death. The phone is not only capable of AT&T's latest HSPA+ speeds, but its HTC Sense UI and Android 2.2 interface ranks on the top of the totem pole at this point on smartphone timeline. It also flaunts an 8-megapixel camera with 720p HD video recording, and rocks a generous 4.3-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen. The latest HTC high-end Android phone is an architectural divergence from the sheep herd of mundane smartphones on the market today, and is stocked with lots of memory for games or applications from the Android Market. The HTC Inspire is one of the premiere options on the market today, and its $99/two-year contract price tag is worthy of a double take. Lookout Apple, and prepare to be Inspired.

At the close of our action packed quest with the HTC Inspire 4G, we were steeped in thought, one to be exact: Apple is heading up a creek without a paddle. Well, they actually have one very popular paddle. However, it's going to be phones like the Inspire 4G with $100 price tags that are going to sway users away from Jobs' looming Death Star.

AT&T isn’t exactly known for its hot Android lineup, but it has the HTC Inspire 4G ($100 with a two-year contract from AT&T; price as of Feb. 2), one of many 4G phones debuting this year that will challenge the iPhone 4 as the carrier’s top dog. The Inspire 4G is essentially AT&T’s version of Sprint’s EVO 4G—minus the front-facing camera, kickstand, and HDMI-out. The Inspire 4G is a solid phone at an excellent price; shutterbugs especially will be pleased with the superb 8-megapixel camera. Design This is a bit finicky, but I’m not a huge fan of the way HTC has designed the SIM card and battery slots. Instead of a battery cover that’s one removable piece, you have two different panels you must remove to get to these slots—and the battery slot was especially hard to remove and replace. I felt I had to use some force to get the piece to snap in—which is never a good feeling. The Inspire’s unibody design is otherwise minimal, yet attractive, and it feels nice and solid in the hand. It is slightly thinner than the EVO and a touch lighter as well. The 4.3-inch WVGA display looks gorgeous and nicely showcases the HTC Sense overlay (more on that below). Beneath the screen, you’ll find the typical Android buttons: Home, Menu, Back, and Search. On the bottom spine, you’ll find the micro-USB port. The left spine has the volume rocker; the right is bare. The power switch sits at the top. HTC Sense with Android 2.2 Out of the box, the Inspire runs Android 2.2 (otherwise known as “Froyo”) with HTC’s custom-built overlay, called Sense, running over it. Hopefully, the Inspire will be updated to Android 2.3 sooner rather than later—an upgrade that should improve performance overall. I’ve written a lot about Android 2.2 and HTC Sense in other articles, so here I will just quickly summarize the important parts of the operating system. Of all the Android overlays, HTC Sense is the best-looking, in my opinion. The dynamic Weather app, in particular, is one of my favorites. The latest iteration of Sense features Leap, which is essentially an elegant way of handling multitasking; it’s a bit reminiscent of Palm’s WebOS deck-of-cards visualization (remember WebOS?). Pinch anywhere on the home screen, and you’ll jump to seven thumbnail versions of screens for applications. From there, you can go to any of those open applications or close out of one. Friend Stream Friend Stream, HTC’s social network aggregator, lets you view your friends’ status updates, shared links, and pictures in one seamless view. Supported social networks include Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter, among others. I find this type of social network feed a bit annoying—do I need to see everybody’s tweets and Facebook status updates jumbled together? If you’re an avid social networker, though, seeing all of the updates in one place may be useful. The Inspire’s version of Sense features htcsense.com, a Web-based service that adds an extra level of security to your phone. If your phone gets lost, you can use the site to track your phone on a map and send a command to make the phone sound an alert (even if your phone is set to “silent” mode). And if you can’t track it down, you can remotely wipe all of the phone’s data with a single command. Multimedia With a 4.3-inch display, the Inspire is just begging to be your secondary television. But as I mentioned previously, the Inspire has no kickstand, so no table-top movie watching for you. It also has no HDMI port, so you can’t watch content from your phone on your HDTV. Despite these omissions, the Inspire is a great media player, especially with the inclusion of Dolby Mobile surround sound. I sideloaded a clip of Iron Man on the Inspire and was impressed by how rich and clean the surround sound was. The Inspire 4G also supports Flash, so you’ll be able to watch Flash videos, view Flash-enabled pages, and play Flash-based games. Flash sites loaded pretty quickly over AT&T’s network, and videos ran smoothly. YouTube videos looked as good as they ever could, and the ability to easily switch between regular and HQ (High Quality) YouTube videos with a simple tap is very nice. One strange thing did happen: I paused a YouTube video, and when I tried to continue playing it, the video did not load. It gave me an error message and started the video back up from the beginning. I’m not a huge fan of HTC’s Sense music player. The album art doesn’t take full advantage of the Shift 4G’s display while the app is in Now Playing mode; instead, the art remains thumbnail-size. The Sense player is slightly prettier than the dull-as-dirt Android player, but I prefer both iTunes and Samsung’s TouchWiz player. Camera Like the EVO, the Inspire sports an 8-megapixel camera with autofocus and a flash. Image quality was pretty good. My photos taken outdoors had bright, natural colors and crisp details. Photos shot indoors looked pretty good, though the colors were a bit oversaturated. Overall, I was pleased with both the easy-to-use camera user interface and the Sense Gallery. You can sync your photos with Flickr and Facebook, or load images or video via DLNA. Sadly for Picasa users, the Gallery app does not sync to Google’s photo service. The camcorder can capture up to 720p HD video. The unit’s videos looked pretty good, but it is unfortunate that there’s no HDMI connector so you can watch your videos on an HDTV. Performance The Inspire is not one of the dual-core-processor superphones we saw at CES (such as the LG Optimus 2X); it is powered by a 1GHz Snapdragon processor. With mobile processors getting faster and stronger, 1GHz now seems a bit, well, weak. Even so, the Inspire seemed to handle everything I threw at it speedily enough—minor YouTube hiccups aside. I had a hard time picking up a strong HSPA+ signal (or what AT&T is calling “4G”—see our dissection of what is and isn’t 4G). This wasn’t too odd, though, because I have a hard time picking up a strong 3G AT&T signal in San Francisco regularly. I ran the Ookla Speedtest application in San Francisco and achieved average download speeds of 0.31 mbps and upload speeds of 0.08 mbps. These speeds are typical of a 3G rather than a 4G network. Perhaps I got these results due to a weak signal here, but so far, I’m not impressed. I will continue testing in San Francisco in places where I get more HSPA+ bars and update this review if I get faster results. Call quality was good in San Francisco. Callers sounded loud, clear, and natural over the line. My friends said that they could hear very little background noise while I was standing on a busy city street corner. I experienced no dropped calls nor any static or distortion during my tests. Conclusion The Inspire is an excellent addition to AT&T’s lineup and is a solid Android alternative to the iPhone 4. The display, its good camera, and the variety of apps available in the Android App Market all make it an excellent phone for entertainment. I’m not totally convinced that it deserves the “4G” in its name, but that might be due to where I was trying to test the network. Still, “4G” implies speed, and while the Inspire certainly wasn’t slow, it wasn’t blazingly fast over the network either. [Ginny Mies is an associate editor for PCWorld.]
