HTC Desire 520 Review

    See other variants reviews Score: 58.9 / 100

HTC Desire 520 is a pretty good Android phone launched back in the year 2015, coming with a powerful 1.1 GHz CPU, a 4.5 inches touch-screen, and 2 cameras, an 8 MP back side camera and a 2 megapixels front camera. We will get a better understanding of this cellphone's wonders when we get into specific details.

The HTC Desire 520 feels much lighter than what you expect from a cellphone this size. Being just 0.36 inches thick,this cellphone is incredibly slim and practical.

The HTC Desire 520 comes with a fast CPU clocking at 1100 megahertz, included in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 8909 chip with 1 GB RAM memory. This phone comes with an interesting 8 GB internal memory and an SD memory slot, which allows you to install hundreds of apps and games without any trouble.

HTC equipped the HTC Desire 520 with a good level 4.5-inches display, and a resolution of 854 x 480 , giving this cellphone a nice image quality. This display uses LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This phone has two cameras, an 8 megapixels back-facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front-facing camera. This cellphone can also capture 1280x720 HD videos. This camera also counts with a couple of interesting features: auto-focus, flash and geo tagging.

This cellphone has Wi-Fi capability (although it can't be provided to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), LTE 4G high speed connection and also HSPA+ connection type, which is a lower speed 4G network and the fastest 3G data connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a Nano SIM card for GSM carriers.

The HTC Desire 520 uses a good 2000 mAh Li - Ion replaceable battery, which is quite poor for a thirsty phone like this.

This cellphone also comes with a handful of useful characteristics like Bluetooth (4.1), GPS Localization and FM Radio, and a couple sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

This phone costs around 249 dollars, not a really offer for a phone this level. If you are looking for a phone for work, want this device for playing games or will use it as a social phone, you will definitely love this device.
