Hence, there is always important to ensure that you buy a hard body case for the handset to make sure the risks of breakage are lowest.<\/p>\n<p>The moment you put the phone on your hands you will feel that you have held a premium phone which would be atleast $500+ priced and the moment you unlock the screen you would get a beautiful tiled screen. Following this the main front part of the phone has a 4.3&#8243; screen with speakers on the top and bottom. The steel speakers on the top &amp; bottom of the front part is not on the front but placed bit backside giving you a space at that location.<\/p>\n<p>Next on the backside there is a large camera sensor with a kickstand on the top of it which allows you to use the same as a stand to watch movies on your phone easily. Below that is a HTC logo followed by an irremovable bottom with the Windows Phone logo. On the top part of the phone is the lock switch and on the bottom is the reset button, 3.5mm headphone jack &amp; mini USB slot to connect the phone to the power adapter or the PC for transferring files.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the smart phones have the audio jack on the top which allows you to easily listen to music or make phone calls while the phone is on your top pocket but with the jack available in the bottom, this task becomes hard because the phone has to be kept upside down.<\/p>\n<h2>Camera :<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/HTC-HD7-Camera-Snap.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17301\" title=\"HTC HD7 Camera Snap\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/HTC-HD7-Camera-Snap-300x224.jpg?resize=300%2C224\" alt=\"HTC HD7 Camera Snap\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/HTC-HD7-Camera-Snap.jpg?resize=300%2C224&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/HTC-HD7-Camera-Snap.jpg?resize=1024%2C767&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/HTC-HD7-Camera-Snap.jpg?resize=150%2C112&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/HTC-HD7-Camera-Snap.jpg?w=1630&amp;ssl=1 1630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nOne of the best reasons for buying this phone is that, it offers you with a 5MP camera powered with a dual flash. These days different smartphones are being launched with a Camera quality in the range of 8-12MP but the HD7 is powered with a comparatively lower MP but also with a dual LED Flash. The Camera Settings are very simple with a very limited number of options available to make changes. The lens would automatically focus on the object after 1-2 seconds and optimize for the best snap.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/HTC-HD7-Camera-Settings.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17303\" title=\"HTC HD7 Camera Settings\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/HTC-HD7-Camera-Settings-300x180.jpg?resize=300%2C180\" alt=\"HTC HD7 Camera Settings\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/HTC-HD7-Camera-Settings.jpg?resize=300%2C180&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/HTC-HD7-Camera-Settings.jpg?resize=150%2C90&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/HTC-HD7-Camera-Settings.jpg?w=420&amp;ssl=1 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Camera Settings :<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Scenes &#8211; Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Sports, Beach, Backlight, Candlelight, Macro<\/li>\n<li> Effects &#8211; grayscale, Negative, Sepia, Solarize<\/li>\n<li> Resolution &#8211; QVGA (320 X 240), VGA (640 X 480), 1M (1280 X 960), 2M (2048 X 1536) &amp; 5M (2592 X 1944)<\/li>\n<li> Metering Mode &#8211; Center, Average, Spot<\/li>\n<li> Flickr Adjustment &#8211; Auto, 50Hz &amp; 60Hz<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are planning to buy this phone considering the 5Mp then it&#8217;s not suggested because the quality is not really impressive and it&#8217;s just another normal camera with no special features.
