Most smartphone manufacturers 4G functionality keep still mainly for their high-end devices. With the HTC Desire 601 breaks the habit and brings access 4G internet to the mid-market. Reason enough to see the unit. Closer
Design
HTC Desire 601 is clearly a member of the Desire series, with rounded corners and a rear panel that slopes down gently to the edges and the same matte plastic is made, for example, we were back at the Desire X. These characteristic features are combined with some aesthetic traits of the HTC One, the new flagship of the Taiwanese manufacturer. In particular, the luidsprekergrillles on the front of the unit – which provides excellent stereo sound – are typical of this
.
The plastic from which the Desire 601 is raised, makes that he is very scratch resistant, but lacks some grip and feels simply cheaper than the aluminum of the HTC One. That does not mean that this unit is built. Really decent The back panel is removable, but fits perfectly on the display. I had initially even bother to pry the back cover because there is nowhere a recess provided.
At the top left of the device we find the on / off button and the right headphone jack. The USB port is located on the bottom right and the volume buttons are incorporated into the right edge. Below the screen is central the HTC logo, flanked by two capacitive buttons: a home button to the right and a back button on the left. On the back we find the top center of the camera back.
As mentioned above, the back panel of the HTC Desire 601 removable. Under the panel there is a removable battery and SIM card slots and an extra memory card.
HTC Desire 601 weighs 130 grams, is 9.88 millimeters thick and measures 134.5 by 66.7 millimeters.
Screen
Desire 601 has a screen size of 4.5 inches and a resolution of 540 by 960 pixels (245 pixels per inch). That is certainly not the best you can get for this price other devices in the same segment often been providing a resolution of 1,280 by 720 pixels. Yet the lower resolution does not translate necessarily into a poor screen quality, quite the contrary.
The screen of the Desire 601 looks fine, and the low resolution is really only obvious when you put it next to the HTC One example. The same can be said about the brightness. That is enough, but compared dims slightly. Viewing angle, contrast and color reproduction are also OK, just what was pure white.
Hardware and Performance
Under the hood is a 1.4 GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm 400 and 1 GB of RAM. The processor is not the fastest you can find in a device of this price but provides enough horsepower to rotate the device. Smoothly Apps open almost immediately and the camera is ready for use within two seconds. Also graphically demanding games run properly. In our benchmark tests, the Desire 601 came good and he did it is generally much better than the P6 Huawei Ascend, which nevertheless is slightly more expensive.
default, the Desire 601 has 8 GB of internal memory. There you’ll be in itself a final note, but not yet sufficiently shows that, you can always expand the storage capacity further with a microSD memory card up to 64 GB.
HTC has opted for a battery with a capacity of 2,100 mAh, which says to 12.8 hours to deliver. talktime on 3G In practice, I came without much trouble and a half day to a single charge and wants with a little good can this possibly even some stretching.
HTC Desire 601 supports the most common connectivity options (Bluetooth, DLNA, Wi-Fi, 3G), but somewhat special is that it also supports 4G. That is certainly no evidence in this price range and it makes this phone an interesting choice for those looking for a good mid-range. 4G is just coming, in Belgium, but all operators are making every effort to roll out their network, enabling 4G devices are getting more interesting.
Software and camera
601 HTC Desire runs on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean with about the graphical interface HTC Sense 5.0. That brings a lot of functionality of the HTC Desire also these 601. You’ll find the news Blink Feed back on the home screen and the camera can capture Zoe. Instead of a picture you make a movie of three seconds, where you can save. From the best picture
Those photos and videos you make with the 5 megapixel camera on the back of the unit. HTC Desire speaks at the 601 non ultra pixels and the camera must indeed inferior to the 4 megapixel camera of the HTC One and One mini, which do get stuck on that label. The screen of the phone, the pictures still look acceptable, but the colors lack vibrancy and what the camera has difficulty in low light situations. View your photos in full size, it’s hard to watch. Beyond the noise At the front is a simple VGA camera.
Conclusion
At first glance, the HTC Desire 601 seems to be a descendant of the One-family. The design shows clear similarities and much of the functionality of the HTC One is aanwezig.Toch in this handset, HTC has chosen the name Desire, because this is a cheaper unit from the mid.

You can see above all in the lower screen, some slower processor and lesser camera. Yet these restrictions are the user experience of this HTC Desire 601 barely in the way. The screen looks fine and the unit can easily handle most of the tasks that you put on firing. In addition, such low screen also involves less consumption along with it, so that the 2,100 mAh battery can sing. More than one day
601 Desire is HTC’s cheapest model with 4G capabilities and that is a selling point in the near future will only become more important. Proximus and Base roll out their 4G network is already running at full capacity and Mobistar is all in readiness to bring a commercial offer to start. Early 2014 4G support can be a decisive factor when choosing a new smartphone.
