HTC is one of the best smartphone manufacturers all around and they just announced an additional reason to choose 1 of their releases as your next telephone – a totally free 5 GB of on the internet storage by way of a pre-set up Dropbox app.

Then Samsung jumped on the Android bandwagon and had a smash hit with their Samsung Galaxy S, launched in various guises on all the U.S. carriers. Samsung was selected as the manufacturer of the subsequent Google branded smartphone, the Google Nexus S. HTC seemed to fall behind a little following releasing the first 4G Android smartphone – the HTC EVO. Samsung came out with the dual-core powerhouse, the Samsung Galaxy S II, whilst HTC was still releasing single core units. The not too long ago announced Galaxy Nexus would seem to be even more proof of Samsung's declare to the Android throne but HTC has not been sitting idly by.

The HTC Amaze 4G is one of the most strong smartphones all around and they have continued to aim for different segments of the industry with releases like the female-pleasant HTC Rhyme, the Facebook messaging HTC Standing, and the HTC Evo 3D offering 3D help. They've also continued to perform with Microsoft by releasing some of the greatest Windows Mobile phone seven units to date, and there are far more due to be launched very soon, the HTC Radar and the Titan.

An supplying of a totally free five GB of online storage from a nicely-established service is a genuine increase for HTC and the fact that they are creating this available for all HTC Android smartphone owners, not just new buyers, is fantastic. You can set up the Dropbox app from the Android Market place and it will come pre-set up on new HTC Android phones.

This isn't going to apply to HTC Windows Cellphone 7 units by the way, due to the fact they previously get 25 GB from Microsoft by means of SkyDrive.

In the Android smartphone market construct top quality has been an situation with some companies. This is partly because there are a great deal of budget products offered on the platform. HTC smartphones have regularly substantial develop quality. Even if you assess their price range offerings with the other people on the marketplace you are going to find the HTC phones are generally better.

At the other end of the market place HTC is streets ahead of Samsung when it comes to develop good quality. This does have a tendency to indicate heavier products but if you dislike flimsy plastic covers then you will not complain about the added weight. Their mixture of aluminium and a soft-touch finish makes for elegant handsets that feel satisfyingly high-priced.

On each their Windows Telephone 7 and their Android gadgets HTC has always presented a quantity of apps. They cover social networking, contacts, messaging and even helpful utilities like a flashlight. They are frequently far better than third-celebration options and have a tendency to be large quality and valuable apps rather than bloatware.

One particular of their most latest new apps is HTC View a video-streaming service that permits you to get or lease Television demonstrates and motion pictures. It is slick and rapidly to stream your content material which can be a 24 hour rental or a purchase. The only downside is the lack of option, there are some respectable blockbusters and Tv exhibits in there but for the services to truly take off it requirements to develop.

If you want the newest version of Android as soon as attainable after release then HTC is your greatest bet except if you go for a stock Android device. They have up to date a larger percentage of their smartphones and they tend to do it faster than the competition. Naturally you may uncover larger-end phones are a lot more likely to get upgrades so this might not apply if you have a price range smartphone, but then that's also real of every single producer.

Getting owned and utilised a variety of HTC smartphones above the last couple of many years I can honestly say there is only 1 glaring dilemma and it is battery existence. Odds are good that you happen to be going to have to charge your smartphone everyday. This is the case for most smartphones on the market sadly, but even in a general battle with Samsung and Apple you'd have to say that HTC devices most likely have the worst battery life -- not by significantly, but even now, it is a minus level.

There are so many causes to decide on specific smartphones and it will often come down to individual preferences. For me the create quality and the Sense UI are the major factors to decide on a HTC above another Android smartphone. The Dropbox deal is just an additional welcome enticement. What do you believe?
