We looked forward to more from HTC in the form of the Kingdom. However that phone has now been given a new facelift. It’s going to be called the HTC Hero 4G and will be brought up to the podium by none other than Sprint. It isn’t just another release from the masters of touch. This time the Hero 4G will pack a 4-inch qHD display screen, a single-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm MSM 7630 processor, 768 MB RAM, a front-facing camera for video chats with a 1.3-megapixel sensor and a 5-megapixel rear shooter for all else (720p HD recording included). The HTC Hero 4G will run Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread. It has cleared FCC already and we can hope for good news soon.
