HTC Bravo to Give Nexus One a Challenge
Looks like HTC is planning to dominate the Android market this 2010. Despite the fact that the year started with the launch of the Google Nexus One, HTC is delivering a new Android smart phone with specs to match and a little something extra.
The HTC Bravo first popped up in the leaked HTC 2010 roadmap last year. It was not until later in December that were reports that the device will go into production. Now, it has already been confirmed that the Bravo would indeed be launching sometime this March or April. While Bravo is going up against the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 –their launch dates are pretty close together, it is impossible to not compare the Bravo with the Nexus One.
This is because HTC manufactured both mobile devices and that the two phones are closely similar in terms of specifications. Both the Bravo and the Nexus One use 1GHz Snapdragon processors and the latest Android OS –this means that the speed of both devices would be similar.
The screen on both phones is 3.7 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screens with multi touch, accelerometers and of course, high resolution displays. The Bravo moves a little ahead of the Nexus One with its camera. While both have 5 mega pixel snappers, only the Bravo has 720p HD video recording capabilities.
There is going to be one more advantage to the Bravo; it will be easier to purchase. Unlike the Nexus One which will only be available via the Google online store, the Bravo will be available as a standard device. Even better is the news that the Bravo will be selling at a lower price tag than the Google phone. Looks like the Android wars are about to break out this March.
