Review: T-Mobile myTouch 4G
Photos
The myTouch 4G has a five megapixel camera. That's enough pixels for most people and most needs. I found images captured to be clean, clear and well focused. Color came through accurately, and — when the flash doesn't go off — indoor shots actually look passable. Sure, there's a bit of extra grain and noise, but it's an acceptable level. The camera does much better outdoors. Colors look rich and lush.
One thing that impressed me was the myTouch 4G's ability to take macro shots (close-ups). I was able to focus on subjects that were about two inches from the lens. That's amazingly close for a camera phone. Overall, I was pleased with image quality. You have to pay attention to the settings when in challenging shooting environments, but chances are you're going to come away with a usable shot.
Video
The myTouch 4G improves on its predecessors by offering 720p HD video capture. Video was much better than video captured with the HTC mTouch 3G Slide, for example. The myTouch 4G displayed some noise and grain, but focus was solid and there was no odd motion or ghosting as you panned the myTouch 4G around. You'll definitely be able to capture some YouTube-worthy clips. Too bad the phone doesn't have an HDMI port for easier sharing of HD content.
