HTC's 4.3-inch Desire HD shows up on video

We saw our first images of the Desire HD over the weekend, and just as day follows night, video leaks typically follow pictorial ones. You'll already be familiar with the mooted specs -- including 720p HD video recording, WVGA screen resolution, and an 8 megapixel imager -- so what else does this handset tour reveal? Well, the family resemblance to HTC's other 4.3-inchers is inevitably apparent to see, with the Desire HD sticking its headphone port at the bottom just like the HD2, and employing a dual LED flash à la the EVO 4G. Beyond that, it looks like yet another well rounded device from the prolific Taiwanese phone maker -- hurry past the break to see it for yourself.

[Thanks, Cj]

Took the words right out of my mouth!

@Harp
That's seriously creepy, dude. I literally did that out loud when I saw this article rofl.

This is gonna be an amazing release of phones from HTC!

[Harp Posted Aug 9th 2010 4:12AM]

@Mike10010100

LOL me too

[Almo Posted Aug 9th 2010 4:16AM]

Gorgeous! Hoping this is at least GSM!

[krishansy Posted Aug 9th 2010 4:48AM]

@Harp
Looks soooooooooooooooooo awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

[CJisohsocool Posted Aug 9th 2010 5:10AM]

OMG THEY POSTED IT :D
AND SAID MY NAME!!!
*GOOGLEY EYES*

Back to the point, This phone looks amazing, I hope its GSM

[toyotast165 Posted Aug 9th 2010 5:29AM]

@Harp wowee is right! Finally something different in the android game, something that hasn't been done before....

lol wait would it be discrimatory to say they are all starting to look alike to me?

[techbot224 Posted Aug 9th 2010 5:30AM]

@Harp

sure hope were gonna get this decently sized 4.3 inch screener for verizon!


i.e. not droid x sized ;)

[MrMusic Posted Aug 9th 2010 5:48AM]

@Harp
Indeed, But where's the HDMI?
Lack of HDMI makes it a no go for me. =(

Why are we in Europe left trailing 6 months after the US in android technology?

[dero Posted Aug 9th 2010 5:54AM]

@Harp
Although I consider myself sort of an apple fan I wonder why these HTC leaks/announcements are not tagged as BREAKING. When a single part (lets say the antenna) of the iPhone 5 is rumored to be going to be leaked it would be breaking news on the frontpage for 5 days but these new HTC devices that look extremely hot are not breaking news? :o

(sorry if the news becomes breaking after I submit this post)

[guideXD Posted Aug 9th 2010 6:09AM]

@Mr Music
Not just Europe buddy, also Australia. The only phone we have that is decent and runs Android is the HTC Desire. We have a fair few Moto Android phones but for some very strange reason we still don't have the Droid/Milestone which is plain bullshit.

[elvinu Posted Aug 9th 2010 6:37AM]

@Harp i have 2 mo from my iPhone 3g contract than i`m getting THIS!!!

[Lucky Businessman Posted Aug 9th 2010 6:45AM]

@Harp

That's what Borat said!!! LMFAO

[legionssolution Posted Aug 9th 2010 6:52AM]

@dero Reason is that apple is a very large corporation. With a lot of money, power, and influene. So when the new htcs r coming out just check out engadget. I have an iPhone 4, using it right now. I haven't had a single issue, only it's to damn slick and it slides of of my couch. Lol

[stevelam Posted Aug 9th 2010 7:17AM]

Because there are about 20 android phones coming out every second

[trekrema Posted Aug 9th 2010 7:22AM]

@wickywills

[tnethacker Posted Aug 9th 2010 7:54AM]

@Harp ehm... I still haven't seen the Htc Desire on ANY shop yet... so HD?... Get real.

[custmmade Posted Aug 9th 2010 8:23AM]

@Harp AT&T....hopefully. I have an unlocked HD2 and i want to upgrade soon!!!!

[williammmw Posted Aug 9th 2010 9:10AM]

@Harp ...i'm wondering...since there is a flashing green led...is da circle at the far right of the speaker grill could be da front facing camera?? Plus is it me or do anyone notice there is a small hole near the camera...is that the mic for video recording?? If yes..then there's 2 mic...which at the camera n at the bottom of the phone

[daftvirgin Posted Aug 9th 2010 10:10AM]

@dero that's because Apple has a huge hype and lots of fanboys.

[recharged95 Posted Aug 9th 2010 11:48AM]

@Harp

Plastic pieces definitely make it look more like a Cyborg than an Android. Still, awesome job HTC.

[andthen Posted Aug 9th 2010 11:58AM]

@dero
Not breaking news because this is the 100th device that HTC has released this month. It's boring news. All their phones are identical and they try to release a new phone every week out doing last weeks "best phone over". They say Apple tricks it's customers into buying "Magical" devices, HTC and other Android used companies are no different.

[phreshprinz Posted Aug 9th 2010 12:12PM]

@Harp

Well put lol. HTC continues to kick ass and take names lmao

[timalan42 Posted Aug 9th 2010 1:23PM]

@MrMusic
Why are we in the US always second behind Europe to get any other phone?

[Juggernaut408 Posted Aug 9th 2010 1:24PM]

@dero You're full of yourself!

[StalkyTheFish Posted Aug 9th 2010 2:55PM]

@williammmw

The hole to the right of the flashes is probably the noise canceling/video mic. The hole to the right of the camera is likely the speaker.

[pagusman Posted Aug 9th 2010 5:56PM]

@CJisohsocool
yeah, I too hope it's GSM. CDMA gets all the android goodnedss :(.

[Maxrunner Posted Aug 10th 2010 5:37AM]

@timalan42 joking??

[Revolutionary Posted Aug 9th 2010 4:02AM]

NICE LOVE IT WANT IT! RIGHT NOW!

[WhoIsCalvin Posted Aug 9th 2010 4:10AM]

@Revolutionary Agreed. I want it now. But I'm not liking the Nipple Camera.

[Tes Posted Aug 9th 2010 4:15AM]

@WhoIsCalvin

The hell kinda nipples do you have man!??!?

[TickLe MY eLMo Posted Aug 9th 2010 4:17AM]

@Tes

yes

[shreyas Posted Aug 9th 2010 4:40AM]

@Tes Does it produce MILK!

[cdf74dc9 Posted Aug 9th 2010 6:20AM]

@Revolutionary

Yea, it's a sexier younger sister of the Evo.

[One Love Posted Aug 9th 2010 10:04AM]

@Revolutionary : If it doesn't have a better GPU, then its nothing new. Just another Evo clone. :| Imagine if the EVO had a hummingbird processor in it? OMG!

[EggoEspada Posted Aug 9th 2010 12:03PM]

@One Love Means a lot to people considering the EVO is a CDMA phone.

[chastiser Posted Aug 9th 2010 4:03AM]

very very very fat phone... kind of shows the moder america in its design.

[TickLe MY eLMo Posted Aug 9th 2010 4:19AM]

@chastiser

What are you talking about? It looks no thicker than the EVO, you don't need phones to be any thinner than this, they don't bulge or any of that crap.

[loocas Posted Aug 9th 2010 4:24AM]

@chastiser An interesting thought... I'm an European, yet I wouldn't buy anything smaller.

[r34p3r Posted Aug 9th 2010 5:11AM]

@chastiser

Just your average American stopping by, letting you know that there are multiple grammar and spelling issues in your post. :)

[canny Posted Aug 9th 2010 5:39AM]

@TickLe MY eLMo
Fat is not thick. Yes, he could have said wide to be more precise; but it still made sense to the most of us that had a brain.

[Eric77lv Posted Aug 9th 2010 4:04AM]

WANT.

[zebrainez Posted Aug 9th 2010 4:05AM]

What's that blur at the top left that was in other photos as well?

[colemagoo Posted Aug 9th 2010 4:47AM]

@zebrainez Watermark. Kinda odd one though.

[hfm Posted Aug 9th 2010 8:26AM]

@zebrainez
It looked like they were trying to hide something that was on the top left of the front of the device.. Happened twice where there is no blur while the back of the phone is in view.

[uck Posted Aug 9th 2010 11:51AM]

@zebrainez

I'm guessing its a logo of the carrier of the phone

[uck Posted Aug 9th 2010 11:53AM]

@zebrainez

or they are covering a front facing camera.......

[saintdavid Posted Aug 9th 2010 4:05AM]

Its finally time to upgrade my G1

[TheOrioles33 Posted Aug 10th 2010 3:37PM]

@saintdavid Ya think? :)
