HTC introduces Hero in India

HTC Corporation has announced the launch of the Android-powered HTC Hero in India. This marks the debut of the HTC Sense user inteface that will soon be introduced across a range of phones from the company.

The device comes equipped with access to Android Market, where users can search for and download applications to personalize and customize their phones. 

When asked why HTC has chosen the Android platform for Hero’s Indian launch, Ajay Sharma, Country Head, HTC India, said, “Our intention is to enrich the user experience and make it uniform so that it isn’t based specifically on any OS. Windows is also our strong partner, and with this Android based launch we see both the OS’ complementing each other rather than competing. We are also pleased to introduce a fully customized user interface called HTC Sense with the HTC Hero. HTC Sense is a distinct experience created to make HTC phones more engaging, immersive and intuitive and it will be integrated across a portfolio of HTC’s phones in the future.”

With its 3.2-inch HVGA display, the HTC Hero is optimized for Web, multimedia and other content while maintaining a small size and weight that fits comfortably in your hand. It also boasts a broad variety of hardware features including a GPS, gravity-sensor, 3.5mm stereo headset jack, a 5 mega-pixel autofocus camera and expandable MicroSD memory. HTC Hero also includes a dedicated Search button that goes beyond basic search, providing you with a more natural, contextual search experience that enables you to search through Twitter, locate people in your contact list, and find e-mails in your inbox or search in any other area in Hero.
