HTC Desire HD A9191 review: reviews, specs, features and description

This review will be unusual. It will be dedicated to the device under the name HTC Desire HD A9191, about which you can find at the end of this article. But first we will return to the sources, by the time when the operating system "Android" just came into being and list the main characteristics of the device. We all remember very well that then some companies began to work in this direction, reworking the shell for their devices. The same was touched and HTC Desire HD A9191, the reviews of which we cite at the end of the article. And how did it end up as the first flagship of the Taiwanese manufacturer?

Introduction

The last flagship of the company, I remember, was the product under the name HD2. It was built on the basis of Windows Mobile technologies. The communicator in question is, at the time of its release, a very, very expensive device. Probably, it was in its segment of devices that it was more expensive. The time has passed, the technology has changed, a large number of models have appeared, but the HD2 communicator remained the only one of its kind.

Early Prerequisites

In parallel to how the devices of the Windows Mobile segment were created, the Taiwanese manufacturer conducted active intelligence activity with regard to devices that operated on the basis of the Android operating system. Meanwhile, the era of the flagships was coming to an end. HTC Magic has become, rather, a test version. But not commercial. His follower was HTC Hero, which entered a really mass production. According to the characteristics, it was, of course, quite averaged apparatus. But the effort invested in its creation justified itself.

Many users who remember how the successful career of the Taiwanese manufacturer began, believe that the "Hero" has rightfully become an exemplary model of a smartphone equipped with the Android operating system. In principle, such a decision has certain practical grounds. In fact, if we try to understand the reasons for this decision, we will notice a lot of factors.

These include the dimensions of the device, for example. They are not so big, which positively affects the ease of operation. At the same time, the screen of the smartphone is not bad. It is easy to handle. The battery dictates its terms, of course, but in general the work time pleases the users. Among the advantages of the device can be noted good technical equipment. Immediately after our "Hero" for such characteristics was Nexus One. So the same thing is equipped with the subject of our today's review?

On board the device is installed the operating system version 2.2. User Interface HTC - 2.0. The display diagonal is 4.3 inches. Multi-touch function is supported. The device is equipped with a good camera, whose resolution is 8 megapixels. There are all necessary communication interfaces, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The clock speed of the Qualcomm processor is 1 GHz. For use is available in the order of 800 MB of RAM.

The cost of the device is currently 7,500 rubles.

Continuation of the ruler

When the HTC Desire HD A9191 came on the market, it was mistakenly always confused with the previous model, namely, with the ordinary Desire. In principle, for this were all the reasons, because the exterior of the device differed only except that the larger screen diagonal.

In general, this situation looked quite logical. Especially if we take into account the fact that both devices had practical identical names. In fact, the name of the device was retained for users to see the development of the product, its improvement. That is, it turns out that the choice was absolutely deliberate. Which again looks logical in view of the development of the product range of the Taiwanese manufacturer.

However, whatever it was, but in fact the smartphone has become a completely different device. This is the first real flagship of the company, which entered mass production. And it's about the device, which was based on the operating system "Android." Well, it's time for us to get down to business. In the queue we have an overview of the appearance of the smartphone.

Design

Appearance HTC Desire HD a little different from the appearance of other devices of the Taiwanese company. All the same we can note the combination of gray and black colors. The shape of the hull can be said that it is made in a strict style. There are, of course, rounding. But they are insignificant, so it does not have the proper effect on the overall parameter. On the other hand, this style is not so bad. More than once, many users noted that, using this approach, the Taiwanese company was able to achieve the beauty and convenience of using its creations. That, by the way, won the hearts of many mobile device owners.

Design chip

The company decided to apply one interesting feature to the device. On the back of the smartphone you can see patches. Many are inclined to criticize the manufacturer and designers of the firm for the application of such a solution. However, in fact, patches can only be attributed to benefits. In their presence there is nothing wrong. In general, with the rest of the body they look quite harmoniously. With tactile contact, no negative feelings arise. Unless it looks a bit unusual, but it's only in the first time.

In general and general

The design, in principle, is typical for most models of the Taiwanese mobile phone manufacturer. We can say that it is even universal. At the same time, the typical design, which in the subject of our today's review was diluted by the presence of special patches, did not even become a little worse. Not prevented from putting a positive estimate for this parameter and a fairly large size. But the simplicity, which was from the very beginning in the devices HTC (meaning exactly the simplicity of design solutions), and remained in place. To lovers of the original appearance, this may seem like a defect.

As they say, every designer should have a special talent. And now the Taiwanese manufacturer seems to have the talent to create almost identical products. Nevertheless, to call it a drawback, which simply crosses out the possibility of using the appropriate smartphones, well, it's impossible. If you still take into account the good hardware of the devices, then in general you can say that they are not ashamed to get out of your pocket.

Colors

At first, after the device was released to the smartphone market, the manufacturer did not seem to have thought about making another color variation. The only salvation was the case for the HTC Desire HD A9191. Thus, in the smartphone market the device was available only in one design. However, later in the network began to appear photos of the new smartphone, already in a different composition. It's a white device. This step can be called another reference to the Desire model, since it was exactly the same with her.

Materials of manufacture

On the front side, at first sight, a protective glass is placed, the shielding device from applying mechanical damages. In fact, this is nothing more than a plastic of a special kind. However, this still does not change anything. Traces from damage (not strong) do not remain. In case of loose contact with sharp objects (including scissors, knives, keys), the screen will not be maimed.

Battery HTC Desire HD A9191

To ensure the autonomous operation of the device in the model, a 1230 mAh source is used. The Taiwanese company assured users that it will give the opportunity to use the phone within 9 hours of voice calls. Also it will withstand the device and 17 days with total inactivity. However, tests showed that in fact everything is somewhat different. The whole day without recharging you can not use the device well. Although the company itself has repeatedly tried to prove that the HTC Desire HD A9191 is a high-capacity battery.

Conclusion and feedback from the owners

So, what can users tell who bought this model of the smartphone? First, let's figure out who, or for what needs, it is suitable. If you want to use the device after you arrive somewhere, for a few more hours, listening to music during a long trip is highly discouraged. The battery, of course, is rather weak, which can not be ignored.

In fact, the device can withstand about 6 hours of battery life. And then this is despite the fact that it works in the second generation network. If you put an automatic switch to 3G, the running time may be shortened.

We will dilute this disadvantage with advantages. Among them - good quality of communication and signal reception. The interlocutor is clearly audible through the conversational speaker. Yes, and the user himself, thanks to a quality microphone, at that end of the wire will certainly be disassembled. Note that the distinct receipt of the signal does not allow to disappear from the network.

There is one interesting feature built into the device. If the mode called "etiquette" is activated, then at the first touch of the phone (in case of an incoming voice call), the volume will be lowered literally to the minimum bar. A very useful thing for those who often get to business meetings, as well as meetings of various levels. Pleased and vibration. It will not let you not hear the incoming call even when the device is in your pocket. Well, and perhaps it's time to answer the question "How to flash HTC Desire HD A9191?", Which is so interesting for many users. Find the software for the model you can on the official website of the company. A firmware is required for the program. However, do not forget that all this you do at your own peril and risk.
