Recently I started following a tech blog, and since then I find myself updated with all tech associated news. It was here I had read about HTC Hero, one of the latest Android devices, which is known for its ease of usability, and few other features. And now next in the line of HTC device is HTC Legend.
HTC legend is not completely different from Hero, but it has few better functions. In fact, HTC Legend is an upgraded version of HTC Hero. There is no change in the screen size and resolution of the two devices; it is in the display of the phones that the major actual comes. And HTC Legend will be the first mobile phone to have an AMOLED touch screen.
Intro To AMOLED Touchscreen:
AMOLED is an Active matrix organic light emitting diode. It is used for display technologies in mobile phones.
Apart from having AMOLED touch screen, HTC Legend will also have a very quick Qualcomm processor. The launch date of the phone has yet not been announced, but it will be brought out sometime in Feb, 2010, followed by Google phone and Xperia10. The cost of the phone is yet to be disclosed. Before Hero was launched, there was HTC Tattoo (it ran on the Operating System Android 1.6) where one could customize everything as per your requirement. In short, HTC tattoo was a Smartphone.
Below are a few specs of the phone (HTC Legend)
