The original HTC Desire, released in 2010 was a hit among people with its attractive looks, sturdy build, a fairly good camera and plethora of apps. HTC has now debuted its mid-range smartphone, the 4.3-inch HTC Desire 501. It is a dual SIM and an affordable Android with a price tag of Rs 18,290. The phone has a reasonable display with its WVGA, super LCD 2 screen. The screen features decent brightness and colour balance, and offer users fairly reasonable viewing angles.
The 501 is powered by a dual-core 1.15 GHz processor, backed by 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal storage; there’s also a microSD slot for memory expansion. This specification is standard for the price and the minimum that we can expect on an Android handset. On the camera front, we are looking at a familiar 8-megapixel snapper with auto focus.
Externally, the 501 is a good-looking phone with bevelled edges and a slightly raised screen, which together give it a chiselled, defined look. Our test unit was a Blue model, but whichever colour you choose, you’ll have a phone which is both slimmer and more stylish than pretty much any budget handset out there.
In terms of real-world performance, the 501 is fairly good. It is fast, loads web pages quickly and is generally easy to navigate. It is also good at taking photos.
