HTC U Play Review

Score: 73.5 / 100

HTC U Play is an absolutely great device launched many years ago, having a very fast Octa-Core processor running at 2 gigahertz, a comfortable 5.2" screen, and 2 cameras, a 16 megapixels back-facing camera and a 16 MP front facing camera.

HTC decided to power this cellphone with a MediaTek Helio P10 MT6755 chip, packing an extremely fast Octa-Core processor clocking at 2000 MHz with a huge 3 GB RAM. This cellphone has a great 32 GB internal storage and an external memory slot, allowing you to install hundreds of apps and even the heaviest games currently available without thinking about running out of space.

Regarding its body materials, this phone is majorly created with Glass and Aluminum . The HTC U Play is just 5.75" long, but it is able to fit a a 5.2" display. This cellphone is incredibly thin, being just 0.31" thick. This device is available in a nice range of color options: black, blue, pink and white. The HTC U Play is much lighter than what you expect from a device of this size.

This cellphone is equipped with a incredible 1080 x 1920 (Full HD) 5.2" display, providing this device with an amazing graphical experience.

The HTC U Play is equipped with two cameras, a 16 mega-pixels back side camera and a 16 mega-pixels front camera. It can also capture videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 frames per second.

This cellphone packs a 2500 mAh inmense Li - Ion non-replaceable battery that can keep it running for many hours and even reach the end of the day without charging it. An issue to take into consideration is that this phone's battery is not replaceable so you won't be able to replace it when it starts losing capacity, even though with so much capacity you will probably buy a new phone before that becomes a real problem.

This phone features Wi-Fi connectivity (which it can share with other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE-A super fast connectivity and also HSPA+ internet connection (a lower speed 4G variation) and the fastest 3G internet connection, supported by HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This device works with a Nano SIM card for GSM services.

The HTC U Play also features a great numbre of cool characteristics like Fingerprint Reader, Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (4.2 ) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

HTC sells this cellphone for 440 dollars, which is not cheap for a phone this level. It doesn't matter whether you want this cellphone to take many photographs, are looking for a cellphone to mostly use social networks and internet browsing, will use this phone to play tons of games or want a phone for work, this phone is the correct option for you.
