HTC Desire 500 - test phone - TELEPOLIS.PL

mobile phone market from time to time appear appliances, at which a glance at the specification is sufficient to form an unfavorable opinion about them. Obsolete processor, amount of RAM is far too low resolution of the screen in relation to its size … You know straight away that it would not do any good. Sometimes there are exceptions. Some part of the specification does not look too promising, but in practice the phone turns out to be a very decent hardware and a little embarrassed us. A perfect example of this situation turned out to be the HTC Desire 500

Achilles heel of the specification, it aspires to a representative of a solid mid-range smartofnu, was to be the layout. The quad-core processor, a gigabyte of RAM and archaic Adreno 203 GPU It could not go. But it turned out to be quite different. Desire 500 with each passing day turned out to be more and more decent hardware. How much good is proved? That you will learn the following review.

Kit

In replacement, the test box, I received a phone next to the white accessories in the form of a microUSB cable, AC adapter, and a one-piece headset with a microphone, and even a single cable. Purpose of the latter was not able to decipher – probably went to the box by mistake. Sales package should include additional traditional package instructions and the rest of the paper. No memory card, although for the price you would expect it.

Appearance

HTC Desire has used the 500, characteristic of their more recent models, enclosure rounded corners and wide opening speaker talks. At first glance, I immediately brought it to mind the One S. The tested model was also very close to it dimensions: 131.8 x 66.9 x 9.9 mm, which is larger by about a millimeter on each side, and turned out to be minimum of pregnancy, and its weight is 123 grams. Front of the phone includes a display of 4.3 inch, earpiece, camera for video calls, proximity sensor and lighting and LED notifications and two touch buttons: back and Home (below the screen). It is the first phone with Android, with whom I met personally, who does not have a standard three buttons (with the example of HTC One). Front unit black color contrasts nicely with the surrounding white portion of the housing. The side edges surrounds a very nice blue bar, which has a small gap on the right side, between the volume buttons. They are flat, so that the dark is very difficult to say whether we are just at hand button to increase or decrease the volume. The left side of the housing is smooth. On the bottom edge we can find a microUSB slot and a microphone, and on top of jack 3.5 mm jack and screen lock button / switch – also flat and niewystaj?cy over the edge of the casing, but well perceptible.
