Sluggish or Not?


Recently, a lot reviews from different site claiming that HTC Hero's interface is not that good. They experience lag, lag, and lag. The latest review is from Engadget which they said that: What we are saying is that this build is a bit too much for a device like the Hero to handle, and that makes for an uneven, sometimes frustrating experience. Going into the review, we desperately wanted to love this phone, but given the combination of a few poor hardware choices and an OS which outclasses the device it runs on, we can only recommend that you enter at your own risk.

Really? Well, Some HTC Hero's user are not convince, yes they experience some lag but to the point that they get frustrated. They said that they only experience a little bit "lag" when some internet apps are updating or there are so many application running at the background. Well, this is not new to android users that is why there are so many remedy about this problem in Android market like Advance Task manager. And about the Flash in the browser, there are some videos in youtube showing that flash is usable.

I notice that a white version of Hero got some good reviews(ex. from SlashGear) while the graphite version got some bad reviews(ex. from Engadget). Anyway, For those who are still wondering, why don't you watch some videos in Youtube? Here I got something new for you from Phonescoop:




Do you see any lag? I see nothing but a smooth UI. There are also some great collection of videos from coolsmartphone.

Even it is not really that sluggish, we are still expecting some small lag. Some people are claiming that there are several solutions like using a class 6 memory card, or just wait for an update to make everything smooth. Well, we are hoping for one.

In my opinion, I believe it is HTC's fault why there are something like this. They use a two years old processor which I think is just enough for normal users, but what about for some power users? Yes Hero is not that sluggish, but I think it is better if Sense UI is not pushing the processor in the limit. I mean, it would be better if it got a very powerful processor so that even there so many applcation that are running in the backgroud you will not experience any lag. Well anyway we cannot change it, Hero is now available in the market (In Orange) we just hope to have a good update to improve the Hero.

By the way, there are some small reviews poping out in the web like this one.
