The T-Mobile G2 is the official successor to the world’s first Android phone, the G1. While there have been countless phones released running the Android OS, the G2 is something of a milestone. We’re not talking about the capabilities of the phone itself, it’s just that the G2 shows where the OS has been in less than two years, and the G2 keeps the G1 alive going forward. While it looks like a solid successor, has the new HTC handset earned its name? Read on to find out!
The T-Mobile G2‘s hardware is a representation of HTC’s genius, mixing a svelte and sexy look with a touch of industrial design. The G2, if darker in color, could look like it belonged to the Verizon Droid family. In short, the G2 may be the successor to the G1, but I’d still consider it something like a Nexus One Pro.
Along the top of the phone, you’ll find the 3.5mm headphone jack along with the power button. The button is click-able enough, but is almost flush with the device, so it may not be very reassuring. Still, there was never a time that I had frustrations unlocking the device. On the right side, you’ll find a dedicated camera button and the switch to unlock the backplate. The only thing you’ll find on the bottom of the device is the microphone, as the charging port is found on the left side of the handset.
You can also find the volume rocker on the left side. The back of the G2 houses the 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, as well as the loud-speaker. From playing videos and listening to music, I can say that the loud-speaker is very nice, loud, and clear. The front of the handset sports the gorgeous 3.7 inch display, and the four soft buttons you’ll find on virtually any Android device, home, menu, back, and search.
