Summary
- The HTC Pure features a smaller 3.2-inch TFT resistive touchscreen with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, while the HTC Touch HD T8285 has a larger 3.8-inch display with the same resolution but lower pixel density at ~246 ppi.
- Both devices are powered by the same Qualcomm MSM7201A chipset and have identical CPU and GPU specifications, resulting in similar performance levels.
- The Pure has a slightly lower battery capacity at 1100 mAh compared to the Touch HD's 1350 mAh, which may affect longevity.
- Both cameras are 5 MP with autofocus, but the Touch HD offers better video recording capabilities at CIF@30fps versus the Pure's 480p@15fps.
- The Pure runs on Windows Mobile 6.5, while the Touch HD operates on an earlier version, Windows Mobile 6.1, and the Touch HD includes a headphone jack, which the Pure lacks.
