HTC Desire Z review

The HTC Desire Z does not look like the original Desire.Actually, there seems to be more of the Google Nexus One in it. The overall styling feels just the right bit more chiseled and angular. Having just reviewed the Desire HD – recycling an old design is not the way to to get us impressed. In the case of the Desire Z, we’re pleased to report it has a unique and easily identifiable face.HTC‘s traditional values are Quality materials and strong build, to which the Desire Z remains faithful. Play Bobowap games will be funny on HTC Desire Z. Well, for the most part anyway. The key design elements of this phone – the Z hinge – is perhaps the most questionable too.The metallic front frame and battery cover has a soft brushed feel. The remaining surface is rubbery and very pleasant to the touch. The phone’s body (save for the screen apparently) is slow to take fingerprints and thanks to the light-color finish even when it finally get greasy, smudges are difficult enough to notice.The Desire Z’s screen is better than Desire HD’s, but by a small margin. The S-LCD screen has better contrast, slightly more saturated colors and excellent perspective compared to normal LCD. But it falls obviously short of SuperAMOLED – and even Retina – in terms of both contrast and viewing angles.
