T-Mobile myTouch and myTouch Q Review

 

This week we’ve gotten our hands on the next generation of myTouch devices for T-Mobile, one with a push-out QWERTY keyboard, the other without. Both of these devices are essentially identical save for the slight difference in hardware with the keyboard, otherwise they’ve both got a 4-inch display at 480 x 800 pixel resolution, a 5 megapixel camera on their backs with a single LED flash, and they’ve got single-core 1.4GHz processor inside as well. With a keyboard you’ve got the myTouch Q, and without a keyboard you’ve got the myTouch, and both of these devices are manufactured by Huawei.

Hardware

These devices are relatively heavy for their size at 6.52 oz (185 g) (for the Q) and 4.94 oz (140 g). They’re a nice size for the palm and do have a nice styling to them since they’re basically the same set of shapes as the HTC versions of the myTouch line that came before them, including the HTC lip at the bottom of the display. They’re not made by HTC, on the other hand, they’re made by Huawei. Check out our myTouch 4G review from 2010, ourmyTouch 4G Slide review from 2011, and our T-Mobile myTouch 3G unboxing from back in 2009, each of them made by HTC.

You can see when you remove the back of these devices that you’ve got a Huawei battery (at 1500mAh) and room for a microSD card for an additional 32GB of storage space. You’re also using a full-sized SIM card and a the battery cover has a strange feel to it – almost like a very very fine sandpaper. You’ve got a dedicated physical camera button on the lower end of the right side of each of the phones, and your lockscreen can access the camera directly along with messages and your phone dialer.
