After a very successful 2009, all eyes are on Taiwanese manufacturer HTC to provide a new set of top-flight smartphones better than the last. We take a look at HTC’s new flagship device, the HTC Desire and see how it measures up to the best-selling HTC HD2.
First up, the HD2 has a huge 4.3” touchscreen with 480 x 800 pixel resolution. As the biggest screen in the business it affords the user a huge window from which to manipulate applications, view pictures and web-pages.
At the heart of the HTC HD2 is a super sharp Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 1 GHz processor and combined with the 448 MB RAM / 512 MB ROM, the HD2 is able to handle even the most demanding array of tasks.
As a Windows phone, the HD2 is the ideal organizational tool and is fully synchronisable with the full complement of Microsoft Office tools. Media-wise the HD also packs a large 5MP camera, able to record video at 30 frames per second, an MP3 and an MP4 player for music and videos, not to mention a Stereo FM with RDS.
Overall, the HD2 is quite a package and it seems that maxing out the hardware really paid off for HTC as the HD2 became one of the best sellers of 2009 with htc hd2 deals common place in all the top retailers’ most popular charts.
So what more does HTC’s new flagship phone, the HTC Desire, offer?
First of all, the Desire dazzles with a super-bright AMOLED screen. These screens really are streets ahead of the older screen technology and display vivid colours even under bright sunlight conditions.
Furthermore, the capacitive touchscreen itself, while smaller that the HD2’s massive panel, is still large at 3.7”, but the slimmer size makes for a much more comfortable fit in the hand.
Moreover, a smaller screen size means that the Desire’s processor is under less pressure, freeing up power for other tasks, such as navigating pages or running multiple applications in the background. Navigation is made super-simple by the inclusion of a slick optical trackpad- so no more tricky-to-replace track ball, as seen on the Hero.
Another difference is that the HTC Desire runs on Android, as opposed to Windows. The benefits of this are that HTC have been allowed to customize the overall user experience, as opposed to having to stick to the Windows Mobile template, which some users find frustrating.
While the Desire has got the same Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 1 GHz processor as the HD2, this time HTC have crammed even more user memory inside - 576 MB RAM; 512 MB ROM, so the HTC Desire ends up performing that much better.
With the HTC Desire, HTC look poised for yet another successful year and HTC Desire deals will available in the UK from April.
