HTC Titan II HD video sample

January 10, 2012 | By Surur

Engadget have been one of the lucky few to actually get a video sample directly from the HTC Titan II’s camera and have uploaded this excerpt.

Myriam Joire, their phone camera expert, was quite impressed with the 16 megapixel shooter. She notes:

After spending some quality time with HTC’s latest Windows Phone flagship we came away pretty impressed with the camera. Our test shots contain tons of detail, with accurate colors and very little noise. We left the handset in the default "Intelligent Auto" scene mode for the majority of our pictures, and it handled the varying conditions with aplomb. Exposure was particularly well balanced, despite difficult lighting condition.

The ability of the camera to manage different lighting conditions is well illustrated in the video above (which should be watched in HD) as the camera pans from lighter to darker areas, but overall of course it is still a brightly lit Las Vegas scene.

What is however somewhat disappointing is what still appears to be a low frame rate and jitters, especially when the camera is being managed via a specialized image processing chip with image stabilization. Hopefully it is simply a case that these features were not activated.

How do our readers feel so far about the camera quality? Let us know below.

nor am I impressed at the 720p video recording

Wow, this video is amazing. I agree about the unstable image, but I didn’t see any framerate issue. From what I’ve seen from the Titan I’s video samples, this is a clear improvement.

The video is awesome, it’s just that Malcolm and Lovenokia are hating.

i think optics matter more in video recording and that is why i find the lumia 900 more appealing. My focus doesnt stutter like that so HTC better get those problems resolved by launch.

HTC just forgot to add a image stabilization AGAIN!

This is just so absolute useless. Seriously, 16MP with such a tiny sensor and crappy lens. The new Nikon D4 has a 16MP sensor which is like 20-30 times it’s size with far superior lenses available.
5MP is more then plenty for these tiny sensors. They should use less but bigger pixels to get better noise reduction with low lights situations.
People don’t use their camera for high MP pictures (you loose way too much date to use all 16 anyway), people much rather have camera that will take the pictures quickers so that they are actually sharp.
