First experience with the HTC Desire 500 - All About Phones

BERLIN – The HTC Desire 500 is the logical sequel to the HTC Desire X that launched with a lot of success last year. We were therefore very interested in this unit and glad we could play with just there. At IFA Our experiences we beat here.

Once we hit the state of the HTC Desire and 500 fixed grabbed we were a bit surprised negatively. Although HTC devices that usually makes a nice finish and feel good in your hand, it goes there at the Desire 500 a bit wrong. The device is made of a glossy plastic finish that feels rather cheap. “A toy phone,” was the first reaction of fellow Nino. Another thing that struck us was the fact that the glass of the display on top of what the rest of the front is, what is a bit strange looks. Apart from those two things does the Desire 500 moreover very good for its class, making it extra unfortunate that HTC just say misses the point on two points.

The screen of the Desire 500 resembles display much like the Super LCD panels that HTC has used the last time in his more expensive devices which really too bad us. It is a 4.3 “panel with a resolution of 480×800 pixels, which it certainly is not the sharpest screen. But although the screen is certainly join us in this unit.

“The phone performs not bad, at first sight, but do not be fooled by the four processor cores.”

500 The Desire runs on Android Jelly Bean with HTC’s Sense interface over it 5. Of course, the ways in which stripped the One, but the main features and beautiful design of the interface remained. Blink Feed by HTC Desire maintained in this 500, while HTC Zoe is whittled. The device is equipped with a quad-core Snapdragon processor 200 with four ARM Cortex-A5 cores. Who performs not bad, at first glance, but do not be fooled by the four processor cores. Indeed, there are certainly dualcore processors, this chip and thus defeat the Desire 500 on all counts.

The Desire 500 has an 8-megapixel camera, which we have not really been able to try how it performs. Furthermore, the device is equipped with Beats Audio, which is probably what your music sound better. In any case, the phone in multimedia not specified.

As the successor to the Desire Desire X has 500 make it where necessary, and so fails to see that HTC is pretty good. The cheap plastic fee l of the device we find unfortunate, but appear on the important points to be good by HTC. Arrested The screen, processor and camera, it’s all more than enough for the price that HTC wants to put on the unit. Market This will incidentally at around € 250 if the phone later this month reached the shops.
