The HTC Desire Z (also marketed as T-Mobile G2 in the US) is a smartphone developed by the HTC Corporation, that was announced on 15 September 2010 and was released in Europe and Canada in November 2010, following a number of delays related to Google's quality assurance tests.^[3] The HTC Desire Z features similar specifications as the HTC Desire and the HTC Desire HD but is a slider.^[4] The design of the HTC Desire Z has capacitive face buttons rather than the mechanical ones the HTC Desire features.

Features

HTC Desire Z features a new improved version of HTC Sense and online services at HTCSense.com. It has a proximity sensor, a G-sensor and an ambient light sensor. The Desire Z has HTC's new "Fast Boot" feature, which is a type of sleep/hibernation mode instead of the traditional full power off, letting it power on in less than 5 seconds; a full boot can only be accomplished by removing the battery. It runs Android 2.2 Froyo.^[5].

Hardware

HTC Desire Z has an aluminium shell and QWERTY keyboard with three programmable keys. The smartphone has an 800 × 480 3.7-inch Super LCD capacitive touchscreen. The HTC Desire Z has a 5 megapixel camera with flash on the rear side.^[6] The camera is capable of recording 720p video.^[7]

Variants

T-Mobile USA sells a variant of the Desire Z called the T-Mobile G2. The primary operational difference is that the G2 runs the stock Android interface instead of HTC's customised Sense interface, and that the G2 has 4 GB^[8] of internal storage (only 2 GB user accessible, usable equivalent equal to Desire Z)^[9] while the Desire Z has 2 GB. The Canadian version of the HTC Desire Z comes with a 1.5 GB
