The primary difference to be seen is with the price tag and the Operating System, where Radar is an amazing bargain for the price it is offered, and running on Windows Mobile 7.5 while Amaze is best suited for the tastes of a techie running on latest Android Gingerbread. We will compare the differences between these two smartphones that would give you a comprehensive understanding about both.

HTC Amaze 4G

This is one of the best smartphones in the market with a 1.5GHz Scorpion dual core processor in Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 chipset, and runs on Android version 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) along with HTC Sense 3.0 UI. It is offered for a wide range of users starting from the business personnel to average customers and with its 4.3 inches gigantic screen having a resolution of qHD (960×540), promises extreme pleasure in multimedia. In addition, Amaze also features a powerful 8MP camera that can capture videos in HD 1080p and has multi burst and HDR modes. But the surprise waits until you get the phone to check out the zero shutter lag feature, which would make sure you’d never miss the perfect moment again. Having Bluetooth v3.0 with A2DP and a front camera of 2MP enables the utilization of video calling feature on the run.

Moving to the specs, HTC Amaze 4G comes with a 1GB RAM that boosts its performance significantly. It supports up to 48GB of memory that can be achieved by extending the inbuilt 16GB memory using a micro SD card. It has a 4.3 inches qHD super LCD touchscreen with 256ppi pixel density and measures 130 x 65.6 x 11.8 mm, which is obviously larger than its rival. Amaze comes with Wi-Fi 802.11 that enables the phone to act as a wi-fi hotspot, and it promotes the use of T-mobile 4G (HSPA+) network with HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100. Having GPS with A-GPS support enables the user to make use of the Geo-tagging feature easily. This amazing phone also provides active noise cancellation with a dedicated mic, a TV-out, NFC support and microUSB (MHL) v2.0. It has a Li-Ion 1730 mAh battery that promises a talk time of 6 hours, which would not be the best in the market. Still, for a smartphone with this much of processing and a gigantic screen, we would say it is brilliant.

HTC Radar 4G

Radar is what you call an upper mid-range smartphone nowadays. It features a 1 GHz Scorpion processor in Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon chipset, a 3.8 inches S-LCD touchscreen, and running the latest Windows Mobile 7.5 (codenamed Mango). The performance is given a boost with its 512MB RAM, and it also has an 8GB internal storage. The lack of memory expansion certainly counts as a disadvantage. Nonetheless, it is equally suited for any user but targeted towards business users who concentrate on connecting and sharing real-time. Of course, it helps if you have been a fan of Windows Mobile for some time because the new redesign in Mango is promising.

Radar 4G measures 120.5 x 61.5 x 10.9 mm, and a weight of 137 g, which is nearly 1mm thinner and substantially lighter than its competitor is. HD video capturing at 720p enabled 5MP camera allows the user not to miss out much from capturing the moments, but it certainly is not the best camera you look for. It’s fully equipped with a front camera with VGA resolution and Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP to make the full use of video calling. It has A-GPS support with Bing Maps and features Geo-tagging. Radar 4G as the name suggests makes full use of T-Mobile’s fast 4G infrastructure with HSDPA 14.4 Mbps, HSUPA 5.76 Mbps. It also has Wi-Fi 802.11, which makes it fully connected at all times, with fast browsing through the HTML5 enabled default browser. It has microUSB v2.0 and Wi-fi hotspot, as well as, HTC Watch, T-Mobile TV, and Xbox live for entertainment purposes. Featuring a Li-Ion 1520 mAh battery, Radar promises up to 10h of talk time, mainly due to the relatively small screen size.

Radar 4G may not seem like the ideal choice for a tech savvy, but for the price tag it is offered, We’d say HTC Radar 4G does justice as it promises.
