HTC Hero Features and Specification

24 June 2009 No Comment

HTC today officially unveiled its next Android based touch screen smartphone called as HTC Hero. The smartphones though similar in its spec to the HTC Magic beats it with 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus, 3.5mm headphone jack, improved battery life and Adobe Flash support.

What is exciting about this phone is the all new HTC Sense UI which breaks free from the dull Google-centric Android interface to deliver a fresh, smooth, sleek new way of staying in touch with people.

With HTC Hero, personalization reaches a level never before possible. Rather than burying important content under layers of menus, the HTC Hero lets you put it at glance view, with a selection of widgets that can be placed right on the home screen. The widgets themselves can be personalized with a variety of designs and sizes that best match your personality.

The Hero provides "a mobile experience that basically doesn’t feel like you have to think, and is second nature," HTC America vice president Jason Mackenzie said.

The Hero will be available next month in Europe with Asian availability coming in the later summer months (Orange UK has already announced it will be carrying the Hero in graphite for as low as £0 on contract this July). As for North Americans, well, we’re just going to have to wait for a little while longer.
