New HTC Desire HD and HTC Desire Z

Just in London, HTC introduced two new Android-smartphones of the Desire family: Desire HD and Desire Z, but NOMOBILE.RU has already managed to touch them!




Desire HD is a thin Android smartphone with a screen of 4.3 ”resolution 800 x 480 pixels, packed in a metal“ unibody ”case. Together with the new chipset (Qualcomm 8255) - a new, made on 45 nanometer process technology, CPU with a frequency of 1 GHz. RAM on board - 768 MB. Camera - 8 MP, records video in HD 720p with a frequency of 30 frames per second.

Not disappoint and soft kit. First of all, everything works on the newest version of Android 2.2. Secondly, Dolby Mobile 5.1 is supported and Xvid codecs are added. Third and most interesting, the new version of the interface Sense - 2.0. They promise a lot of new chips, but some are still a secret. We learn - immediately let you know.


Desire Z is not a side slider - a new design, we have not met this before. The top panel does not move sideways, but leans back. Due to this, firstly, it was possible to make the case very thin (for the keyboardist!), And, secondly, to remove almost all the backlashes.

The screen at the gadget diagonal 3.7 ", capacitive, made by technology Super LCD, its resolution - 800 x 480 pixels. The camera is five-megapixel, writes video at 720p at 30 frames per second. The device works on the new Qualcomm 7230 chipset, has a processor with a frequency of 800 MHz.


It is immediately evident that this smartphone has the most convenient hardware QWERTY-keyboard from all that is available in Android smartphones. The keys, of course, are only 4 rows, but are large and well spaced (there are even two programmable ones). I would like to hope that the Russification does not disappoint. Navigation joystick on the front panel - touch.

The Sense version 1.6 shell is the same as that of Desire, however new applications and utilities such as the file manager, office document editor, proprietary navigation software, and codec pack for playing AVI videos have been added. Well, the most interesting thing is the possibility of remote control of the gadget. You can connect to the smartphone from a remote computer, change its settings, or, for example, leave a message if the device has been lost or stolen.
