HTC Desire Camera Quality
Everyday I learn more and more about my HTC Desire which has quickly become my favorite smartphone. I’ve been very impressed with the camera quality which has surprised me somewhat. Look at the statistics, the Desire uses the same 5 megapixels camera that my previous device, the HTC Hero had, but that is where the similarities end.
The Hero camera also had a short lag after taking the picture, this would often mean you miss that perfect shot and in low light situations you could almost guarantee the picture would be blurred.
The Desire has an LED flash and the significantly faster processor which most definitely makes the difference. In low light the LED flash brightens the environment but not overly so, the image is instantly taken, no delays and the inclusion of face recognition perfects focus on subjects, mainly my daughter so far.
For me, the colour reproduction is the stand out feature, maybe its just the devices screen but images look bright and crisp, I’ve uploaded two quick shots from the garden taken today straight from my Desire using the Wordpress application.
I will have my full HTC Desire review online soon.
One response so far
Picked up a brand-new Desire about a month ago as a company phone however am very disappointed , firstly i would have about 900 contacts on my previous XDA and was able to view by company or individual, not so on Desire only by personal which is of no use particularly with no search option either. Android 2.2 is intended to have search facility but not different view option launch date seems to differ each time . Battery pretty good approx 18 hrs medium usage. Bluetooth poor, paired with parrott car kit ok for day or so however won’t connect even by unpairing and pairing new, same issue with bluetooth headset……..any ideas
