HTC Incredible S Vs HTC Desire HD : The decisive battle


The HTC Incredible S is a smartphone with innovative appearance having loads of features embedded inside it. It features a large 4-inch touchscreen with unique rubberized back cover. The handset supports an 8 mega-pixel camera with dual LED photo lights. We are not big fans of LED lights as it tends to emit a very bright and harsh light which is quite hard to bear. It has got a well designed widgets which on the other side compensated with an older version of Android that brings problem and speed degradation.

I also got chance to move my hands on the HTC Desire HD. At the first look, it appeared very bulky and huge to me. But as I further analyzed the handset, it appeared an ultimate phone with fast and responsive touchscreen. The handset comes with 8 mega pixel camera with again dual LED flash. The machined aluminium case feels wonderfully solid but looks too massive in hand. The social networking integration on Desire HD is awesome with impressing fast web browsing.

HTC Incredible S Vs HTC Desire HD

Despite of few features in common such as dual LED flash, the same 8 mega-pixel camera, the RAM amount (768 MB) along with the same processor and Android 2.3 Gingerbread, I noticed many dissimilar features in HTC Incredible S and HTC Desire HD.

If HTC Incredible S has slighlty bigger battery of 1450mAh, a 1.3 mega pixel camera for video conferencing and weighs less as compared to HTC Desire HD, then HTC Desire HD also flaunts its larger 4.3 inches touchscreen, good standby time and more of on-board memory of 1.5 GB. Front facing camera is absent in Desire HD.

Price Comparison

the HTC Incredible S costs £500 SIM Free, £449.95 on PAYG and as little as £25 per month on a two year contract (Vodafone, 300 minutes, unlimited texts, no web data).

In comparison, the HTC Desire HD costs a mere £384.58 at Amazon and as little as £20.42 on a two year contract (100 minutes, unlimited text and 250MB data from Orange) or £35 per month on a one year contract (with an initial fee of £59, with 300 minutes, unlimited text messages, 500MB data allowance). So, would you pay £115 more for a front facing camera and a smaller device??
