Taiwan based mobile phone manufacturer HTC is busy working on several upcoming handsets that are expected to come out later this year. With a newer version of the Android OS coming and the Windows Pone 7 OS about to launch by that period, HTC is making sure to cover all ground by offering several handsets for each new platform.
Several of the devices have been outed by a leaked roadmap, while others came out on separate rumors. The latest in the new HTC phones is the HTC Desire HD, which is basically a second version of the original Desire but with a much larger touch screen display and more emphasis on video playback.
The Desire HD’s hardware is identical to the original phone: it has a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, a 5 mega pixel camera, Android 2.2 Froyo and all the same extra features. The device has been upgraded to have a much larger 4.3 inch capacitive touch screen (the older screen is only 3.7 inches). The device will also support XviD videos and 720p HD recording.
Another upcoming HTC Androids are the HTC Vision and the HTC Ace. So far, no details have been uncovered about the Ace (though it is possible that the Desire HD and the Ace are one and the same). As for the HTC Vision, this upcoming Android smart phone is the very first time HTC combines the Google OS with a slide out QWERTY keyboard. This is quite notable as many Android fans have been hoping for such as device from HTC (though Motorola’s Milestone is also a pretty good alternative).
With a physical keyboard, the new Android 3.0 Gingerbread (as rumors state), a 1.2 GHz CPU, and a 4 inch AMOLED touch screen, the HTC Vision is one of the most exciting handsets to ever be announced by HTC.
