HTC Desire P Review
Score: 53.6 / 100
HTC Desire P is a mid-to-low level phone launched back in the year 2013, including a 4.3 inches multi touch screen, a powerful Dual-Core processor speeding at 1 gigahertz and an 8 megapixels back side camera.
HTC sells this cellphone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Play MSM8225 system chip, including a great performance Dual-Core processor clocking at 1000 megahertz with 768 MB RAM. Graphic intensive games and apps often uses a lot of processing time, so this cellphone counts with an extra Adreno 203 GPU speeding at 245 megahertz to help the processor with those tasks. This phone comes with a fair 4 GB internal memory, which is fine knowing that this cellphone also has an SD memory card expansion slot .
Apparently HTC didn't care much about the weight in this 4.8 oz cellphone. This phone is thin and looks really nice, even though it's not close to being one of the thinnest cellphones you can find, with a thickness of 0.42". HTC made the HTC Desire P in two different colors, red and gray.
HTC equipped this phone with a very good 4.3-inches screen, and a resolution of 800 x 480 , which makes it hard to distinguish the pixels taking part of the screen. Its screen uses S-LCD 2 capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.
The HTC Desire P only has an 8 megapixels back-facing camera. In addition, the camera has flash.
This device counts with wi-fi connectivity (although it can't be provided to other devices around, as a mobile mobile hotspot). This device works with a SIM card for GSM networks.
This cellphone uses a 1620 mAh medium sized removable battery, which is quite poor for a consuming cellphone like this.
This phone also comes with a few interesting characteristics as Bluetooth (for communication with other devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS Localization, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
HTC is selling this cellphone for $ 249, which is a very high price for comparing with similar devices.
