Introduction to HTC Hero & HTC Legend life, many people are called heroes or legends;
Do you prefer someone to call you?
Both HTC Legend and HTC Hero are legal names and they make HTC and their users proud.
The legend is considered one of the best Android-based smartphones so far, and the hero's name says everything.
Let's take a look at the two and compare their specifications to the specifications and functions to see which one appears above;
Is it a hero or a legend?
Given that they're all Android phones, it's definitely a great game if it's not a close match.
Design, look and feel (4 out of 5)
Heroes and Legends are in almost the same size as any HTC smartphone.
The hero came in at 4. 41 inch long (tall)by 2.
21 inch wide 0.
57 inch deep, slightly smaller, but thicker than the legend, the legend is 4 points. 41 inch long (tall)by 2.
22 inch wide by 0. Thickness 45 inch
They weigh only 4 lbs. 76 ounces 4.
The two phones, 44 ounces respectively, are one of the lightest HTC smartphones at present.
Since the small phone in hand is easier to use for some people, many people say that heroes are better phones, but because the legend is thinner, others find it easier to manage, in terms of size and personal preference, this round is a draw.
As for the display, hero sports a 3. 2-
Inch tft LCD touch screen with 320 pixels by 480 pixels of HGVA resolution.
Legend runs the same size screen at the same resolution, but legend has an AMOLED touch screen that also offers "pinch-to-
Zoom, and no hero.
Any AMOLED screen is a better option as it uses less power and has its own lighting using the pixels themselves.
The LCD screen uses a backlight, which looks "faded" or has a bleaching effect when used in the sun.
The LCD screen also consumes more battery power due to backlight.
1 point legend.
The hero is a full touch screen, which means it has no physical keyboard, only virtual keyboard.
The hero also has trademark lips at the bottom of the phone, which is purely HTC style.
In addition, the four buttons below the screen and the trackball are solid in their placement position, which is very similar to most HTC phones.
As for the legend, this is another full touch screen without a physical keyboard.
However, while the legendary bottom still has trademark lips, it does not bend like other phones, and its buttons are no longer on the lips, and they are now part of the screen itself.
User interface: Android OS and Sense UI for everyone (4 out of 5)
Both Heroes and Legends use Android's OS and HTC's Sense UI.
Hero is the first HTC phone to use Sense UI.
However, they did not use different versions of the Android operating system until recently.
HTC released the hero with Android's cupcake 1.
5 and Android Legend 2.
But since Sprint released a "maintenance version" in May 19, 2010, it is stated that heroes can now access Android 2.
Both smartphones have the same operating system.
Upgrades to the Hero operating system also include upgrades and enhancements to the Sense UI.
As for the Sense UI, both heroes and legends use seven separate screens on one screen, but for heroes you have to navigate with different icons and widgets, the legend provides users with a new Leap feature that allows them to view all the home screens at once;
One feature that comes with Android 2. 1.
This means those who upgrade the hero to 2.
You can also see the Leap function in May 1.
The legendary feature is "stream of friends", which means that users can now use Facebook, Twitter (
Peeping by clicking on Twitter)
You can see the Flickr from the home screen.
Hero is the first HTC Android phone to be programmed with Adobe Flash, but the time limit for playing games or watching videos is not good.
Flash uses a lot on the web, so don't expect it to surf like it does on a PC, because the only time it really works is on YouTube, even then, it's still too slow to use.
Legend seems to do better in Flash;
However, it is still too slow to be of any use as the Internet and page loading times are terrible.
As long as you update your hero to the new Android 2, this is a game between legends and heroes. 1.
But if you don't choose, then the legend here is the real winner.
HTC Hero of Lenovo HTC: function (4 out of 5)
Because HTC Legend is released in Europe, it runs on the HSPA/WCDMA band at 900/2100 MHz and GSM band at 850/900/1800/1900 MHz.
In Asia, it operates on a 900/2100 MHz HSPA/WCDMA network and a 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM network;
Unfortunately, the legend is not used in the United States, but it would be nice to see it sometimes.
On the other hand, hero is an American smartphone with 900/2100 MHz and 4 on HSPA/WCDMA network
GSM/GPRS/EDGE network with 850/900/1800/1900 MHz.
HTC Hero also has Bluetooth 2.
0 EDR with A2DP for use with wireless stereo headphones and with Wi-
IEEE 802, Fi standard.
11 B/g, same as most.
Legendary sports compatibility with Wi-Fi standard 802.
11b/g and support for better Bluetooth 2.
1 with EDR, A2PD and FTP and OPP file transfer and other profiles.
What's special about the hero is that it uses the HTC ExtUSB port, which means it has a USB 2.
One port and one audio jack and the other.
There is also a USB port in the legend, but it is not a hero's ExtUSB; just a USB 2.
Port 0 with separate audio headphone jack, standard 3. 5mm.
The legend certainly won, but a USB/audio jack is good, depending on your personal preference.
The audio functions of heroes include playing MP3 and AAC (AAC, AAC+, AAC-LC), AMR-
NB, WAV, MIDI and Windows Media®Audio 9 without recording.
Hero's video features include support for MPEG-4, H. 263, H.
264 and Windows Media®Video 9 with a resolution of 352x288 and a frame rate of 15 frames per second makes video playback dangerous.
Audio playback supported by this legend. AAC, . AMR, . OGG, . M4A, . MID, . MP3, . WAV and .
WMA format.
AMR for recording.
In terms of video, Lenovo supports 3GP ,. 3G2, . MP4, .
WMV for playback and recording, with format compatibility with 3gp, makes it very risky to play the recording again with a low frame rate and a lot of beating videos.
In any case, do not bother to record the video;
It's not worth the time.
However, the camera is completely a different story.
Hero sports a 5.
A 0 pixel camera with autofocus but no flash or editing.
The legend is also equipped with a 5-pixel camera, but it also has autofocus, Flash, Widescreen capture support, and geo-tagging support.
The legend is the winner here.
As for the add-on, the hero includes support for the scene, which allows the user to switch between completely different desktop types, for example, one for travel, one for work, and one for play.
There are a total of six scene settings in which users can change wallpaper, widgets, etc.
Email and messaging features include support for home screen widgets, including photos, emails, Twitter, YouTube, and more.
On the other hand, the legend has more feature-rich support, offering apps to watch photos and videos, FM radio, GPS, and of course Facebook's stream of friends, twitter and so on are all on one screen;
These tools also have separate widgets.
The legend also provides an automatic backup of some information that the hero does not have.
In terms of function, Legend is the overall winner;
However, it is similar in other areas.
Performance and battery life (4 out of 5)
Both Heroes and Legends use Qualcomm processors.
Hero, using Qualcomm MSM7200A at 528 MHz, Legend uses Qualcomm msm72 27 at 600 MHz, which makes the start-up time of the two very different.
The hero appeared in about 40 seconds, and the legend was only half at most.
As for the power behind these smartphones, Legend offers a choice of rechargeable lithium
Lithium-ion polymer battery or lithium batteryion battery;
Both are 1300 mAh, hold up to 440 minutes on WCDMA, 560 hours on standby, up to 490 minutes on GSM, and 440 hours on standby.
The hero offered a lithium.
The Ion 1350 mAh battery can hold up to 420 minutes of talk time on WCDMA, 770 hours of standby time, up to 470 minutes of talk time on GSM, and 440 hours of standby time.
Surprisingly, the hero has this.
The call clarity of the hero is very good, and the reception is very good.
When the call is connected, the hero vibrates to let the user know that the call has passed.
If the hero's call clarity is good, the legendary call clarity is much better, and there are great speakers in terms of reception and loudness.
For a longer battery life, the overall vote for this part was for heroes.
Verdict: Who won? (4 out of 5)
It's purely personal judgment, which phone is better in our HTC Legend vs HTC Hero comparison, depending on where you live.
But I personally prefer the legend of four stars.
Because of the upgrade of Android, the hero got three and a half.
There is a better social network integration in the legend, the updated Android operating system is in place, when there is an updated mobile phone available, I do not see a reason to buy a mobile phone that needs to be upgraded.
From a professional point of view, the hero did win some points, such as USB/audio and battery life for one port, even though the legend was made better;
It has better call quality, more built-in features and better connection options.
Generally speaking, Android OS mobile phone is a better legend without any trouble;
However, if you live anywhere in the United States, it is not suitable for you because it is only sold in Europe.
Go with the hero.
HTC Legend is selling for about $600 on Amazon.
From Google's products, com and HTC Hero can get about half the price, or $330.
