Following on from the success of the original Desire,The HTC Desire HD IS A Great Looking Smartphone Articles this technologically advanced touchscreen smartphone boasts a wealth of impressive features ranging from an 8 megapixel camera, the innovative HTC Sense UI, Android 2.2 Froyo OS along with downloadable applications from Android Market.

 

Measuring up at 123x 68x 11.8mm in order to accommodate the large 4.3 inch touchscreen, it is actually relatively slimline, making it a pocket friendly device. The large screen is great for browsing the web, watching HD video, or playing games. This is due to a pixel configuration of 480x 800 which is capable of displaying up to 16 million colours. A built in accelerometer sensor allows the contents of the screen to be automatically rotated based on the angle at which the phone is held. The highly innovative HTC Sense user interface allows user to customise up to 7 home screens, so they can customise their phone to their own preference.

 

1.5 GB of internal storage is provided as standard, which is ideal to start with, however anyone who wishes to store further data such as a digital music collection, can take advantage of expandable memory in the shape of a microSD card slot. This can accommodate a memory card of up to 32 GB, however it does come with a pre-installed 8 GB card as standard.

 

Browsing the internet is a pleasure with the HTC Desire HD, thanks to a fast 3G connection at speeds of up to 14.4 Mbps, via HSDPA. In order to take advantage of local wireless networks, full Wi-Fi connectivity is also included. This allows for a faster connection, by utilising signal from wireless internet routers. When online, users can enjoy the vast majority of web content, thanks to flash support, whilst reading text online is easy thanks to automatic reshaping of the text when zoomed in. This means users can zoom in to read small text and it will instantly reposition itself to fit the screen, meaning users do not need to scroll sideways to see an entire section of text.

 

An impressive 87 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash is built into the handset, giving users the opportunity to take high quality still images, and even shoot HD video. Face detection and autofocus are included to simplify the process, whilst geo-tagging is included, so users can record their photos locations on a map. Therefore the HTC Desire HD doubles up as one of the most advanced camera phones on the market.

 

The combination of the new Android 2.2 Froyo OS in conjunction with a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor means that an impressive user experience is assured. Along with the customisable UI, users can also download numerous apps from many different categories, further customising the phone whilst increasing its functionality.

 

Whether you are looking for an entertainment device with comprehensive multimedia compatibility, or a powerful functionality tool, you cannot go far wrong with the HTC Desire HD.
