HTC Rhyme Smartphone

HTC and Verizon Wireless introduced the HTC Rhyme smartphone powered by Android with the new HTC Sense interface. The elegant smartphone is aimed at people who care about how it looks and feels and can overlook its lack of 4G LTE download speeds.

HTC Rhyme features a 3.7-inch WVGA, super LCD display and high-quality stereo sound and a 5-megapixel camera that includes auto focus, power LED flash and instant shutter. In addition, the camera features a number of photo-taking and sharing elements, including face detection, which ensures that friends are always in focus, action burst scene, which automatically takes five consecutive shots of a scene, and panoramic mode, which lets users stitch several photos for those larger-than-life views. The HTC Rhyme's locked home screen can be customized to display the most important content, making it quick and easy to see social updates, photos, snapping a photo or the weather forecast by simply turning on the display.

A refreshed HTC Sense experience includes an all-new home screen that provides a clean and uncluttered way to interact with the essentials. The home screen enables quick, uncluttered previews of your appointments, messages or whatever is important to you. HTC selected custom wallpapers to offer a variety of original art to complement the HTC Rhyme experience.

HTC Rhyme makes entertainment come to life through HTC Watch, which features a wide selection of movies and TV shows that can be downloaded for instant viewing.
