The HTC Legend offers high-end specs

HTC, the respected smartphone maker, recently released one of its most desirable phones, the HTC Legend. This phone packs impressive features ranging from a 5-megapixel digital camera, touchscreen navigation, the latest version of the renowned Android operating system, all packed into an attractive aluminum phone.

The AMOLED capacitive touchscreen measures 3.2 inches and has the ability to display up to 16 million colors within a 320×480 pixel layout, delivering unparalleled levels of on-screen display quality. An optical trackpad offers an alternative method of navigating menus within the user interface, while an accelerometer sensor is also included, offering an auto-rotate feature that allows you to view the screen both vertically and horizontally.

Vibration and ringing are the primary methods of alerting users to incoming calls and text messages. The ability to use MP3 and WAV music files as ringtones allows users to customize their phone to hear the song of their choice every time the phone rings. Effective hands-free communication can be achieved thanks to a built-in speaker system and a 3.5mm audio jack that can also accommodate headphones for listening to music via the internal media player.

The dimensions of the HTC Legend are 112 x 56.3 x 11.5mm, making it a perfect size for comfort of use, while its light weight of 126g also makes it a pocket phone. The appearance of the phone is attractive thanks to a manufacturing process that uses a single piece of aluminum, which gives it a sophisticated touch.

The HTC Legend is equipped with a 5-megapixel digital camera that includes features such as autofocus and LED flash. These features make it easy to take good quality photos. Unsurprisingly, the camera can also record video, offering an alternative method of image capture.

A variety of different connectivity features are used to provide HTC Legend with optimal levels of connectivity based on location and network coverage. The Class 10 versions of EDGE and GPRS provide the initial means of cellular network connectivity. In areas covered by 3G, the HSDPA connection provides Internet access at speeds of up to 7.2 megabytes per second (along with HSUPA at 2 MB per second). A faster Internet connection can be achieved through the inclusion of Wi-Fi technology that uses signals provided by local wireless Internet routers, allowing users to surf the web at broadband speeds. Micro USB connectivity allows the phone to be connected to a computer for various tasks such as backing up phone book information, transferring music tracks, etc.

Plenty of internal storage is provided for files and data, such as music tracks. Expandable memory is provided thanks to the inclusion of a micro SD slot that can accommodate a memory card of up to 32 GB. This is enough to store most people’s digital music collections along with other files.

Thanks to its super-impressive styling and compelling spec list, the HTC Legend deserves its recent popularity among a variety of mobile phone users.
