HTC Amaze 4G Reviews
Engadget What do you do when you've already created a Sensation? If you're HTC, you repackage that lightning in a slightly different chassis, turn the volume (read: speed) up to 11 and borrow a bit of optical wizardry to add that new smartphone smell.
The Verge Does the HTC Amaze 4G live up to its name or is it just another Android phone in T-Mobile's arsenal?
CNET Now, the new HTC Amaze 4G holds that claim to fame, bringing some new tricks to help create and highlight the best images.
PCWorld The HTC Amaze 4G is sort of like a hybrid of the myTouch 4G Slide with its awesome camera and the HTC Sensation with its unibody aluminum design. It is a bit on the heavy side and HTC Sense might not appeal to everybody. It is also a bit on the pricey side.
PCMag The HTC Amaze 4G ($259.99 with a two-year service agreement) is a powerful, cutting-edge Android smartphone that's an excellent addition to T-Mobile's roster.
Android Community Say hello to the new HTC flagship device over on T-Mobile, the HTC Amaze 4G. This smartphone takes everything we love from the popular myTouch series at T-Mobile and blends it with the fancy design of the HTC Sensation.
Gizmodo The day that cheap point-and-shoot cameras will be completely redundant and obsolete is coming, and the HTC Amaze 4G would like to help them toward extinction.
Android And Me The HTC Amaze 4G has great performance, as well as the outstanding build quality you can always expect from HTC. It would definitely make many Android fans happy. Let’s go into the details and see what the pros and cons are.
Laptop Mag The HTC Amaze 4G takes one of the best cameras in a phone ever--from the myTouch 4G Slide--and puts it inside an exquisitely designed device with a larger 4.3-inch screen and a faster 1.5-GHz dual-core processor.
Phone Arena With the onslaught of top-end Android devices hitting the market it takes a lot to amaze, but as they usually do, HTC have managed to make us pause with their latest superphone.
Talk Android The Amaze 4G from T-Mobile aka the “Ruby” has landed and is a wonderful follow up to its little brother, the Sensation 4G. However, this HTC experience is a little more geared to the “point and shoot” crowd wanting to capture photos and videos in an instant.
