The New HTC Desire HD Teams A Super Screen With Unrivalled Sound

HTC have followed up their best selling Desire handset with a model geared towards multi media fans in the form of the new Desire HD.  Sporting a bigger screen and a newer version of the Android operating system the phone looks to continue the success that the original Desire enjoyed.It seem only right when looking at this new model that we give plenty of attention to the excellent on board multi media features.  Regardless of whether you are watching a movie or listening to music the phones loudspeakers are a cut above the usual mobile phone affair.  This sound quality can be attributed to two sound enhancement features that enable these tiny speakers to punch well above their weight.  These are Dolby Mobile and SRS Surround.  Dolby is a name that has become synonymous with high quality sound and this enhancement helps give a depth to the sound that would normally not be possible.  SRS Surround works in a similar manner but by widening the sound to make it appear a if it is coming from speakers placed much further apart, thus improving the stereo effect.  There will obviously be times when using the speakers is not practical, and therefore the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone socket enables the user to use a wide range of headphones with this phone.

It is not only the audio side of things that excel on the HTC Desire HD but visual the phone is outstanding.  Much of this quality is down to the high standard of screen used on the phone.  At 4.3 inches the display is the largest currently available on any mobile handset and teams this large size with a super high resolution of 480 x 900 pixels which means whatever material you are viewing on the phone looks crystal clear. The screen uses LCD technology and a capacitive touch sensitive panel which responds well to the slightest touch.  The screen come into its own when using the phone to view movies and numerous codecs can be handled by the handset with usual suspects such as MP4 teamed with lesser used varieties such as WMV9 and the high quality DivX.

The HTC Desire HTC takes the features and functionality that you come to expect from a high end smartphone and throws a large screen into the equation.  The result is a handset that remains streamline but comes into its own for activities such as watching movies and gaming.

The HTC Desire HD and the Google Nexus S White are available now.
