HTC Desire Review

    See other variants reviews Score: 50.6 / 100

HTC Desire is a decently made Android phone launched back in the year 2010, which features a 1000 megahertz CPU, a 3.7 inches multi touch display and a 5 MP back side camera. But let's get into more details.

This device is equipped with a great performance 1 GHz processing unit, packed into a Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 QSD8250 chip with 576 MB RAM. Helping with graphic intensive apps, this cellphone also uses an Adreno 200 GPU ticking at 128 MHz.

HTC didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 4.76 ounces cellphone.

The HTC Desire is only equipped with a 5 MP back side camera. The camera also includes flash.

This phone is equipped with a nice 3.7 inches display with a 800 x 480 resolution, which makes everything look vivid. Its display uses AMOLED capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

This phone has wifi connection (but it can't provide it to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G connection type, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a SIM card for GSM services.

This cellphone also includes some nice characteristics as Bluetooth (2.1, EDR), GPS Navigation and FM Radio, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The HTC Desire packs a medium sized 1400 mAh Li-Ion battery, which is quite low for a consuming cellphone like this. This phone has an aproximate stand by time of 340 hs and a talk time of 6.7 hours.

This phone is very overpriced considering it is priced $ 110, and some similar cellphones are offerred way cheaper than that.
