Test: HTC Desire 500 - CHIP

“Spend 2000 gold, or even more, on the phone? What a nonsense! “- Because just as many customers believe in offering the most recognized manufacturers of smartphones, there is no shortage of equipment with a more accessible price range. It is up to them to HTC Desire 500 With a weight of 125 grams phone measures 131 x 66 x 10 mm, so it is compact and comfortable in the hand. The positive impression is also the merit of good quality performance polycarbonate housing. This does not mean that it is perfect – the flat surface quickly covered with fingerprints. Under the rear lid and find a removable battery and SIM card slots Micro SD card. When you open it the first time you have to be careful – otherwise we can break a nail.

bright but pale screen

front of the device you will find a 4.3-inch LCD display. It has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, which is an acceptable value considering the price of the device. However, one should accept the fact that the daily use of the smartphone will notice the individual pixels. In addition, the colors appear faded at times, which can also be seen in the results of laboratory measurements. Deserves praise for the very high brightness of 425 cd/m2 reaching.

camera on four

most important part of the HTC Desire camera 800 is a matrix with a resolution of 8 megapixels. Made the test images were characterized by high sharpness. Also in terms of color fidelity and contrast the financial HTC usually performs well compared to other smartphones. Camera, however, there were problems with white balance: photos taken during the day were sometimes too cold colors, and those registered under artificial light – too warm. In low-light images onto a surprisingly sharp, but the image processor is not able to hide the clearly visible noise. The LED flash is acting as indeed lightens the frame, but if it was clearer than ever, perhaps autofocus dzia?a?bym with greater precision. As designers of mobile phone users have left only about 500 MB of free space on the file, it is necessary we should stock up on a Micro SD card. Otherwise, you will quickly find that there is no where to put not only other images but also appów, videos or songs.

Performance and Operating System

The heart of the HTC Desire

500 quad-core processor – not bad for this price class. System and Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 is clocked at 1.2 GHz and works with 1 GB of RAM. Components are running Android 4.1.2 with HTC Sense interface 5 The operation of the processor usually runs flawlessly, although it may sometimes appear stuttering. But you can not hide the fact that Chrome is opening a long time. Also, zooming and scrolling hardly be described as smooth.

HTC Sense UI Appearance is not different from that to which we have become accustomed previous phones of the company. To the right of the main screen is a screen Blinkfeed known models of the One. It collects information from social networks and news sites, so that instantly provides information on user interest topics.

interfaces, battery, acoustics

exchange data with other Bluetooth devices provide interfaces 4.0 and Micro USB. Unfortunately, we can not rely on NFC module. There is also no support LTE high-speed wireless standard. The mobiles are loaded in the HSPA maximum speed of 7.2 Mb / s In practice, this means that the use of mobile Internet more inhibited phone than infrastructure constraints. Loading a test dealing with 600 kB took HTC Desire 500 until 6.7 seconds – it’s too long. To make the Internet run faster, we need to connect to a WLAN n

Speaking of surfing-the test battery consisting of browsing websites with maximum screen brightness of 500 HTC Desire withstood nearly seven hours. This is a surprisingly good result, but that was not so rosy, while telephoning current missing after 4:30 h Before this time, however, the phone provides good acoustics, and the voices of the callers are strong and clear – at least as long as we hold the phone to your ear. The hands-free with this smartphone does not have a lot of good.

Summary – HTC Desire 500

General Desire 500 is an interesting proposition. For about 1000 z? get a well-made and decently equipped Android smartphone with an overlay of thought. Taiwanese could still perform the assigned duties with a little more verve.

Alternative: Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini

more handy Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini test showed a very good performance and a much longer battery life. In addition, the Galaxy S3 Mini you can buy for a little more than 800 z?, so it is noticeably cheaper than the HTC Desire 500 The price of Samsung, like HTC for money, you have to include the cost of additional micro SD card.

PROS:

Android 4.1 with Sense overlay of 5
HSPA, WLAN, Bluetooth 4.0
High quality

Cons:

Price: 1000 z?
