The HTC Incredible, otherwise known as
the HTC Droid Incredible, has been one of HTC’s most popular release in
the smartphone line, ever. The phone has come out as a winner in almost
every department that it can be evaluated in. Design and performance are
both exceptionally good. In the sections below, we will take a closer
look at the HTC Incredible specs to see why this phone has become so
popular among the masses.
HTC Incredible Specs
The Good about the HTC Incredible specs
This phone is a neat package. You get an 8MP camera, a super fast 1GHz processor, Android 2.1, 8GB internal storage space, 3G support, a custom HTC Sense user interface and a lot of other standard smartphone features as well. Usually, smartphones are good in some aspects while there is almost always a compromise somewhere. But, with the HTC Incredible specs, there are no compromises at all. The phone is above average in every department.
The Bad about the HTC Incredible specs
After reading the above paragraph, you might be wondering if there can really be anything bad about this phone. Well, if you had to pick out a negative, it would be that the phone cannot be used to take a call and browse at the same time. But, this is a shortcoming that a vast majority of the smartphone buyers can deal with, without being too hassled.
Another defect or negative that you can possibly allege against this phone is that it doesn’t have the best software when it comes to enhancing the multimedia experience. But, if you are looking to buy this phone, we would like to assume that you are more interested in smartphone performance and capabilities rather than game playing and movie watching abilities.
Summary of the HTC Incredible specs
Though several months have gone by since the release of this model, it is still a hot favorite on many shelves. Though the name “Incredible” sounded so presumptuous when the phone first came out, we have to say that it is an ideal match as the phone really is incredible in more ways than one. Read through the sections below to get a better understanding of the HTC Incredible specs.
Design – HTC Incredible specs
The phone is not something you would describe as breathtaking or super good looking. But, it is a very good looking smartphone that has some very nice proportions to it. To start off, the length of the phone is 4.63 inches. The width is 2.3 inches and the thickness is just .47 inches. The phone is a middle weight in the world of smartphones, weighing in at 4.59 ounces.
The phone’s build is primarily plastic although it definitely does not look like a cheap plastic phone. It has some nice colorful accents at the top end of the front side and the back has a contoured finish that looks pretty good. See the picture below to get a closer look at the front, back and side of the HTC Incredible.
The usable screen size on the HTC Incredible is 3.7 inches. The WVGA screen puts out a 480X800 pixel resolution. The touch screen is also very responsive. The accelerometers are set in such a way that things like scrolling and toggling between screens happen at just the right pace, without being too fast or too slow.
The HTC Incredible specs also include an optical joystick below the
four default Android phone buttons at the bottom of the screen. We
always though that trackballs, touch pads and optical joysticks are a
little unnecessary on touch screen phones. We think the same about the
optical joystick on this phone as well. But, you can use it if you wish.
It is pretty responsive and fairly accurate as well. If you have large
thumbs, it might be a little difficult to use though.
Interestingly, when you remove the battery cover, you will see a incredibly red inside. Apparently, the engineers who designed this phone wanted to infuse a bit of Italian car racing manufacturer’s red colored passion into the phone. You might also be able to get the phone in a very bright red exterior color as well. When you change batteries or open up the back cover, people are going to look and take notice of the red interior, wondering if you have a super special phone. It will get their attention for sure.
Android and HTC Sense – HTC Incredible specs
The HTC Incredible specs include the Android OS and a custom user interface called HTC Sense. HTC Sense is a custom UI that runs in the foreground of the Android OS. It does not interfere with any of Android’s functions. It just makes the user experience a lot better. For example, there is something called a leap screen that will provide you with a thumbnail view of all your home screens. Then, there are some other nice custom touches that you will not find in Android phones. There is something called a Friend Stream that will allow you to integrate all your social networks feeds into a nice streaming screen. If you are the type that checks into facebook and twitter on a very regular basis, you will love the Friends Stream app that is provided by the custom HTC Sense UI. As part of HTC Incredible specs and the HTC Sense UI, you also get some cool little apps such as the agenda widget, group contacts widget and a few other nice little features that you may or may not find useful, depending on what you use your phone for.
Camera – HTC Incredible specs
HTC Incredible specs impress in the camera department. The 8MP camera is a great performer both indoors and outdoors. It has a powerful LED flash that will allow for very good picture taking even in low light conditions. A slight drawback is that the HTC Incredible specs do not include HD video capture. But, the phone’s camera can shoot video in WVGA resolution that is of pretty decent quality. The video resolution is 720 P (Non HD) that is captured at 30 frames per second. The phone also has a front facing, 1.3MP camera that will enable you to make and take video calls.
Call quality – HTC Incredible specs
Call quality is pretty good on this phone, both in handset mode as well as speakerphone mode. Occasionally, you might find the call volume fading in an out when the phone is experiencing a changing signal strength (like when you are walking) although the problem isn’t too persistent to be complaint worthy.
Data transfer speeds – HTC Incredible specs
This phone does pretty well with 3G speeds. You will get the average 3G speeds that are available in your area. The processor does a pretty good job of optimizing whatever 3G speeds you get, to give you a good browsing experience. For example, YouTube videos will buffer for just a few seconds before playing although the initial buffering is done to give you uninterrupted playback throughout the rest of the video. The same goes for loading of webpages or other streaming content.
Processor and performance – HTC Incredible specs
HTC Incredible specs include a 1GHz processor that is supported by 512MB RAM and 512MB ROM. Though the 1GHz Snapdragon processor is a single core processor, it is aided by a 205 Adreno GPU that takes care of graphics performance while also reducing the load on the main processor. You will not experience any kind of delays when you play around with this phone, whether you are browsing the Internet, taking pictures or just using one of the many apps that can be downloaded from the Android marketplace. The processor can handle heavy loads of multitasking as well.
Battery life -HTC Incredible specs
You will be able to get well over 5 hours of continuous talk time with the HTC Incredible. For a smartphone with all the specs mentioned above, it is pretty respectable battery life. Only some of the newer phones are able to do better in terms of battery life. On standby mode, the 1,300 mAh battery will last for about 290 hours that works out to about 12 days or so.
Conclusion – HTC Incredible specs
Though several Android, Windows and even an iPhone model have come
out since the release of the HTC Incredible, the Incredible still fights
for contention in the top 5 Android phones that are available in the
market today. Currently, the phone retails for $149.99, with a two year
contract from a very good provider like Verizon wireless. At that rate,
all we can say is that the phone is top notch.
The iPhone 5 could come out in June 2012 or Fall of 2012. If you want to learn more about the future iPhone 5, get a peek at the link just given.
