The HTC Desire HD is a smartphone capable of handling extremely high quality 720p video. It is a very powerful choice, a real step up from the regular Desire and a genuine alternative to the iPhone. Here we will consider the various features of the HTC Desire HD, especially its improvements over the regular model.
Higher detail:
Compared to the regular Desire’s camera, the HTC Desire HD ramps up the functionality big-time, with a full 8 megapixels of resolution instead of just 5. This produces images with the huge size of 3264×2448 pixels: all the detail you could ever need. Also, the flash improves over the lower-spec model by incorporating a dual-LED design instead of a single LED.
Higher storage:
Although both phones use a microSD slot suitable for up to 32GB storage, the HTC Desire HD ups its internal storage by a factor of three, holding up to 1.5GB of ringtones, contact details, messages and so on all in the phone itself, independent from any external memory cards.
Longer battery life:
The HTC Desire HD has a colossal standby time of up to 490 hours and you can talk for over 9 hours on 2G and over 5 on 3G. This is an improvement of nearly half all-round, and is due not to a larger battery which would weigh more and be more cumbersome – in fact in milli-amp-hours the new battery is slightly lower at 1230 mAh compared to the old 1400mAh – but through clever and thorough design making the phone’s processor and software more efficient.
Conclusion:
Add to all of this an improved Wi-Fi system, adding the 802.11n protocol over the regular model’s b/g, the HTC Desire starts to look very tempting. It is in general the next generation of smartphone, as we move towards full-HD technology in your pocket. Available worldwide, the HTC Desire HD provides 720p to everyone around the globe.
