    See other variants reviews Score: 45.4 / 100

HTC Hero is a mid-end Android cellphone released many years ago, provisioned with a 3.2 inches multi touch screen, a 5 MP back facing camera and a 528 megahertz processing unit.

The HTC Hero feels a bit heavy comparing with today standards, weighting 4.76 oz. This cellphone is 4.41 inches long, it just holds a way smaller 3.2" screen. This phone is a bit thick compared to current devices, with its 0.56 inches thickness.

The HTC Hero is powered by a Qualcomm MSM7200A system chip, including a good 528 megahertz processing unit with just 288 MB RAM memory.

This cellphone has only a 5 mega-pixels back-facing camera. This phone can also film videos in 352x288 . In addition, the camera counts with auto-focus.

HTC equipped this device with an average 3.2-inches display, and a resolution of 480 x 320 , providing this cellphone with an average image quality. Its display uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

This cellphone packs a good 1350 mAh Li-Ion removable battery providing the HTC Hero with a quite short battery duration. HTC says this cellphone has a 440 hs stand by time and a 7.8 hs talk time.

This phone has WiFi connection (although it can't provide it to other devices acting as a hotspot) and the fastest 3G connection type, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone uses a SIM card for GSM networks.

This device also comes with some cool characteristics as Bluetooth (provides communication with other devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS Localization, and a couple sensors likeLight Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone is priced about 399 dollars, expensive for comparing with other similar phones.
