HTC

addition to the end devices in the HTC One range, a number of devices in the middle. For example, the HTC Desire 601 and we have watched this for you. How does this middle class?

HTC Desire 601

The HTC Desire was a huge hit when it came out a few years ago. That was at the height of HTC, they are then the same status as Samsung in the Android Market. Unfortunately for the brand they hit the track quite a bit. Yet we still have a soft spot for this brand, we can surely count as HTC primal mother Androitoestellen because the company’s first Android phone, the G1, has ever made.

The HTC Desire 601 is not attractive, high when we talk about the specifications, this model is designed for the middle class. This category of phones is becoming increasingly important as more people use a SIM-only, so go buy separately.

Design

This unit has looks of the HTC One, but with some rounded corners, and that’s not a shame, because for me it is the design of the One made one of the best ever. The design may show many similarities, but the material is different. One where the entirely of metal is, we see that the Desire 601 is almost entirely of plastic, except for the two parts on either side of the screen at the front.

The back is completely made of plastic with a soft finish, and it feels very comfortable and provides good grip. I just noticed that this material attracts a lot of dirt. At the top we see the camera with the flash in addition, HTC has incorporated these very nice half-circle of the camera. further we only see the logo. You would not say, but the Desire 601 is not unibody and the rear is just off (with difficulty) and you can change the battery if necessary. On the side we see around the usual buttons for on / off and volume, and the connections for the microUSB and headphone.

The front looks so very much like the HTC One with the top and bottom and metal strip containing the speakers processes that produce the sound boom. At the top we see the sensors and camera.

Specifications

601 HTC Desire has a 4.5 inch screen with a pixel aspect ratio of 540x x 960 and a pixel per inch of 245. That is more than enough for this unit and as long as you’re not a pixel-slave program, you will be very happy with. Fresh colors and the unit has a very good viewing angle to make little to no space between the screen and glass top (zero gap).

Under the hood is a dual-core Snapdragon chipset 400 with a clock speed of 1.4 GHz and a RAM of 1 GB. This chipset has proven itself well in other devices and hear also at home in the Desire 601. As long as you do not get a lot of heavy apps will change then you will not encounter delays.

There is

standard 8GB of memory in this handset you can expand to 64GB via a microSD card so plenty of room for your music, movies and photos. The battery of the Desire 601 is not very large 2100 mAh but is quite long time when you are not using it too intense. I did exactly along one day and that should be enough for a device of this class.

Camera

At the back of the Desire 601 is a 5-megapixel camera on the front we have a VGA camera for video calling. I keep repeating, put more pixels in the camera view of the selfies hype and the increasing popularity of video calling. Here are a few samples of the camera in both photos and video.

Performance

You should review a device to the (price) class in which he competes. The development of the Android Smartphone is now at such a nieveau that the new generations do not make big steps more and you can have fun. Of your device with ‘older’ generation chipset The Desire 601 runs very smoothly and it meets all the requirements, do not compare him with an attractive, high because that makes no sense.

a HTC so then the phone uses HTC Sense. This has its own coat of HTC Android over which they change the entire user interface. Anyone who has ever read a more frequent review of me knows that I’m always very unhappy with this sort of thing. You have to love it and like anything, it gets used. HTC has listened to its users and the Sense layer made a lot quieter.

Tree Sound

Besides

Sense HTC has also the extras on the phone, and that includes the Tree Sound. The “invention” that speakers in the front for a better sound is fantastic. The Desire 601 has access to Tree Sound and that is definitely a nice feature.

Blink Feed and Zoe

If you are interested or not at all tek crazy or anything. HTC Blink Feed is a customizable news feed on your homescreen, alijd the latest news nice shape on your screen. You can select the feeds you want to see yourself there in the settings, you can also choose the articles Androidworld. The Zoe function is over this allows you to combine photos and videos to an event and even put some music under it.

Conclusion
