Mobile Phone Reviews – HTC Desire HD

January 28th, 2012 | Google Android, HTC, Mobile Phone Reviews, Mobile Phones

HTC’s Desire HD is a follow-up model to the HTC Desire, which was one of the most popular Android mobiles, according to many mobile phone reviews.

The handset itself is 123 mm long x 68 mm wide x 11.8 mm thick with a 4.3-inch touchscreen that takes up most of the front of the unit.  Four touch points are located beneath the screen, replacing the physical keys found on the original Desire.  A decent graphics processor means that the unit can handle a good selection of games.

On the back, there is an 8-megapixel camera featuring dual LED flash and 720 pixel high definition video recording.  Speakers are located on both the front and back of the handset; however, the primary source of sound appears to be the back speaker.

The Sense user interface includes a series of extra widgets and several home screens, which can be personalised.  A pinch motion allows the user to easily navigate to an overview page.  A notifications bar features the most recently used icons, making the best-loved ones easy to get to.

As a whole, the HTC Desire HD is a mobile that offers a user friendly, smooth interface and exceptional web browsing capabilities.  Building upon the original Desire’s reputation, the Desire HD is a strong Android offering that works well.  Its only true downsides are the short battery life and the fact that some users might be put off by its larger size.

However, against the current trend, it does not possess a dual-core processor.  Its design, coupled with a fast 1GHz processor manufactured by Snapdragon, enables it to meet all the requirements of current smartphones, though.  It runs on the latest Android platform, Gingerbread.

Another standout feature is the camera, coming in at 8.1 megapixels.  When combined with a proper CMOS sensor, Sony’s Exmor R, it takes stunning photographs.  There is a low-light sensor, autofocus activated by touch and an LED flash too.  The video is great as well, recording at 720p and equipped with a video light and stabilisation functionality.  Sony Ericsson has its own Timescape interface enhancements that run on top of the Android platform.  The excellent GPS has Google Maps pre-installed, as well as Google Latitude, a great app that informs your chosen friends where you currently are.
