    See other variants reviews Score: 57.1 / 100

HTC Desire 500 is a mid-end Android cellphone, packed with a medium 4.3-inches display, a fast Quad-Core processor clocking at 1200 megahertz, and two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 1.6 MP front-facing camera.

HTC decided to sell this cellphone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 MSM8225Q system chip, backed up by a great performance 1.2 GHz Quad-Core processor with 1 GB RAM memory. This phone comes with a 4 GB internal memory, a moderate quantity that should be fine for the average user considering this cellphone also has an SD card slot to store pictures and videos.

This device has an amazing design, with a thickness of just 0.39 inches. HTC has made a very nice job making this device weight only 4.34 oz. HTC made this phoneavailable just in black color.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, an 8 megapixels back-facing camera and a 1.6 mega-pixels front-facing camera. It can also film 1280x720 HD videos. In addition, the camera includes a few interesting features like flash, auto-focus and fast burst mode.

HTC packed this cellphone with a nice 4.3 inches screen, and a resolution of 800 x 480 , which makes all pictures and movies look colorful and brightful. Its screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

This device has a 1800 mAh mid capacity Li-Polymer battery, which is quite poor for a thirsty cellphone like this. HTC afirms this phone has a 17.8 hs talk time and a 401 hs stand by time.

This phone has WiFi capability (but it can't provide it to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G connection type, using HSDPA and EDGE technologies. The HTC Desire 500 works with a Micro SIM card for GSM carriers.

The HTC Desire 500 also features a handful of useful features as Bluetooth (provides communication with other bluetooth cellphones, computers and accessories) and GPS Localization, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

HTC is offering the HTC Desire 500 for $ 135, which is high for comparing with other similar cellphones. If you want a phone for gaming or want a social cellphone, you will definitely love this phone.
