HTC Desire Z American Version Review

Score: 50 / 100

HTC Desire Z American Version is a mid-to-low level Android cellphone released in 2010, which features a 5 megapixels back facing camera, a 3.7" display and a good performance processor running at 800 MHz. We will get a better understanding of this cellphone's specifications when we get into specific details.

This cellphone ships with a fast 800 megahertz processing unit, packed into the Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 MSM7230 chip with 512 MB of RAM. To handle graphic intensive apps, the HTC Desire Z American Version also counts with an Adreno 205 graphic processing unit ticking at 245 MHz. This cellphone counts with a 1,5 GB internal memory, a moderate quantity that should be having that this cellphone also has a slot for an external memory card to store songs, photos and videos and even some games and apps that can be installed in the external memory.

This phone is quite thick for today's standards, with its 0.56" thickness. This phone feels quite heavyweight comparing with today standards, with a weight of 6.35 oz.

HTC equipped this phone with a interesting 3.7-inches screen, and a 800 x 480 resolution, which makes it hard to distinguish the pixels taking part of the screen. Its screen uses S-LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This phone offers wi-fi connectivity (but it can't be shared with other devices around, acting as a hotspot) and the fastest 3G data connection, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a SIM card for GSM networks.

This cellphone only features a 5 MP back-facing camera. This phone can also capture videos in 1280x720 (HD). To complete the camera, it also includes flash.

This phone uses a mid capacity 1300 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery that can keep this device running for many hours, although you will probably find yourself looking for a place to charge it after some moderate use. HTC says this device has a 9.2 hs talk time and a 420 hours stand by time.

This cellphone also features a couple nice features such as Bluetooth (provides communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories), GPS Geolocation and FM Radio, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
