HTC Desire HD: Review

HTC Desire HD is an improved version of its laudable predecessor with an improved aluminum unibody construction, WVGA (800 x 480) display, 8 megapixel camera with dual LED flash plus 720p video, and a fast paced 1GHz CPU. Previously, we have reviewed its predecessor HTC Desire and were quite impressed by its performance. The first word which erupt in my mind while watching HTC Desire HD is “Jumbo”. Desire HD is a surely a huge phone and the 4.3-inch display is simply remarkable.

We are already familiar with the 1GHz QSD8255 chip (with Adreno 205 graphics) powering the Desire HD. This is the second generation Snapdragon which is built under a 45nm process and also promises to give you high performance.
