HTC Hero Review

    See other variants reviews Score: 45.4 / 100

HTC Hero is a decent quality Android phone, coming with a medium 3.2-inches touch-screen, a good 528 megahertz processing unit and a 5 mega-pixels back camera.

This cellphone is a bit heavyweight comparing to other phones , weighting 4.5 ounces. This phone is quite thick for today's standards, with its 0.54 inches thickness. This cellphone is 4.5" long and 2.22 inches wide, it just packs a way smaller 3.2" screen.

This phone includes a interesting 3.2 inches screen with a 480 x 320 resolution, making everything look nice. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

HTC decided to equip this cellphone with a good processor running at 528 megahertz, bundled in the Qualcomm MSM7200A chip and only 288 MB of RAM.

This cellphone includes wi-fi connection (but it can't be provided to other devices around, acting as a wireless modem) and the fastest 3G data connection, supported by HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a SIM card for GSM carriers.

This cellphone only has a 5 megapixels back camera.

This device also features a couple of interesting features like Bluetooth (for communication with other cellphones and accessories) and GPS Geolocation, and some sensors likeLight Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone counts with a mid capacity 1350 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery, which is not really enough for a consuming cellphone like this. HTC reports a 4.2 hs talk time and a 360 hours stand by time for this device.

HTC is offering this cellphone for $ 399, which is a very high price for comparing with other similar cellphones.
