HTC Desire HD has been the talk of Android world. The phone is rumored to have a 1Ghz Snapdragon processor, 4.3″ WVGA capacitive touchscreen, Sense UI, 8MP camera with 720p video capture, dual LED, Android 2.2, and 4GB of internal storage. The features does not sound very tempting as most of the Android devices launching these days already come with almost the same specs. Its basically an EVO 4G lookalike, minus the front camera. But then a video of the phone popped up on YouTube today and honestly it looks way better than the specs read on paper.
The clip is surprisingly clear for a leak, nothing like the usual shaky cam stuff. You can see the 4.3″ screen, the dual LED flash next to the camera lens and the 3.5mm jack moved to the bottom like on the HD2. The back is half matte half glossy with rubber patches, and the optical trackpad of the original Desire is gone. Pics of the same phone had leaked over the weekend on a Hong Kong forum and this video seems to have come out of the same place.
HTC hasnt said a word officially yet and the phone is rumored to launch sometime in October. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is it too big?? Stay tuned for more.
