HTC brings us the smartest Smartphone in the world, “The HTC Desire HD”.

Many people consider the HTC Desire to be the best Smartphone in the world. Most reviews give it a 5 star rating and if they had any more stars they would give those too, Desire is supposed to be everything the Smartphone should be; all in all it is very smart. But HTC has now come up with an even better and even bigger phone that they claim to be even better than the best phone in the world, The HTC Desire HD. At the first look it seems to be quite big , and with its massive frame and features it does look a bit difficult to carry, but once we start to use it, the phone just captivates the user and it becomes impossible to leave it. So over looking the size of the gadget lets get into the inner details of this monster.

Lets start with the 4.3 inch LCD touch screen with lends a massive look to the phone, it is a big increase from the 3.7 inches of HTC Desire. There are basically no buttons on the side except the sound control and lock/unlock button which are embedded into the frame of the body thus giving the phone a very smooth finish. The front look is clean with a few touch sensitive buttons and android logo at the back.

The most innovative and attractive feature of the HTC Desire HD, by far, is the HTC sensor UI technology. Desire also had that feature but it has been further developed for the Desire HD and the effects are easily seen. The phone has Auto rotate speaker capability, ringer volume control and Screen brightness control options and all of them can be operated very easily by the user.

 

Media options of the phone are equally impressive with a 3.5 mm input port at the bottom with a USB 2.0 connecting port. Putting these features at the bottom of the phone has really started a design change in the other Smartphone as well. It also comes with a 8Megapixel auto focus camera with double LED flash which can also record HD videos at 720p.Besides all that Desire HD also supports various third party applications like Flash player 10,Google products etc. The best apps are all listed in the android apps store which can be easily accessible on the phone.

 

Desire HD comes with the Android 2.2(Froyo) OS which is an improved version of the Android 2.2 version used in Desire. It also has a 1GHZ snapdragon processor and a 760 MB RAM. There is an internal memory space of about 1.6 GB and there is also a memory card reader slot available for Micro SD cards with up to 32 GB.   

Update options are given for all the applications and downloading these updates is very easy because of the new web browser available in the Android Froyo 2.2 and update widgets already installed in the firmware. Desire HD supports full 3G facilities and thus with the new Wi-Fi version 802.1 you can access download speeds up to  14 MBps over the 3G network.

All these heavy options take a heavy toll on the battery life of the phone and we believe that a fully charged battery would only last a day. But with so many features you can expect that to happen.

HTC Desire HD is a worthy successor to the HTC desire and if you like your Smart phones big and healthy with lots of features and unlimited options then Desire HD are the perfect phone for you.
