HTC Desire HD will be HTC’s Fastest Known Android Phone

Today HTC announced the Desire HD, which now becomes their fastest Android phone. Desire HD features a second-generation Snapdragon processor that uses a low-power 45nm process and offers four times the graphical performance.

Qualcomm’s MSM8255 has a similar 1 GHz Scorpion CPU as the previous Snapdragons, but it includes the newer Adreno 205 GPU which can pump up to 41M triangles/sec. Some of you might notice that is only half the 90M triangles/sec of Samsung’s Hummingbird SoC, but leaked benchmarks show they should perform in the same neighborhood. The Adreno 205 might not be the fastest GPU and we need to test it out more, but it addresses the major complaint of the first-gen Snapdragon phones.

HTC also raised the bar for Android phones by including 768 MB of RAM. That’s 256 MB more than most high-end Android devices and it should allow for increased performance when running multiple apps.

Other high-end features of the Desire HD include support for HSPA+ 14.4 Mbps networks, Dolby Mobile and SRS virtual surround sound speakers, and the unibody aluminum frame. The Desire HD is also the first device to feature HTC’s Fast Boot which shortens the power up sequence of the device so you can access your data faster.

As we have seen with other recent HTC phones, AMOLED displays are out and the Desire HD features a S-LCD. The picture quality is said to be near the quality of AMOLED and the LCD display’s have the advantage of less power consumption.

Surprisingly, the Desire HD only includes a 1230 mAh battery (compared to the 1500 mAh battery found in the EVO). Hopefully the more power effiecient 45nm processor, lack of 4G radio, and display type will help to improve the overall battery life.
Look for the Desire HD to be available through mobile operators and retailers across major European and Asian markets this October. No U.S. availability was announced, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw some regional carriers pick up the Deisre HD (like the original HTC Desire).
