Yeah, again an entry-level smartphone has erupted out of nowhere. But, it’s a product of HTC’s profound desires and the quest to churn out an affordable product without compromising on crucial attributes, so it gets imperative to have a look at it.HTC Desire C sits at the bottom of the smartphone market, but we can’t just dismiss the device thanks to the Desire branding it carries. Let’s have a recap of the Desire lineup. First, the HTC Desire was a fabulous smartphone back in 2010, and even now we can see many individuals carrying this device. However, users were taken back by the release of the Desire HD. Interestingly; both devices were flagship models at the time of their release. Going against the tradition, the Desire C is a budget offering, which, obviously, surprise us. Still, the Desire name excites us anyway. The “C” here probably means compact, but we are not much concerned about the nomenclature of the smartphones. Also, the device seems similar as all devices from the kitty of the Taiwanese mobile manufacturer tend to possess similar facial features. Nonetheless, the device hits the right chords, and can fool anyone into believing that it’s an expensive tool (of course, don’t try to fool a geek). HTC has been kind enough to churn out a sturdier product, but cruel enough to dampen our spirits by incorporating a plastic cover. What a letdown! Pop the hood and you get to see everything in red color, literally! We have hired Sherlock Holmes to find the reason behind this (Ah, just kidding). Ignoring the bright red interiors, let’s evaluate the dimensions. The smartphone, we must profess, is comfortable to hold (even for clumsy ones like us). No need to state, but the touchscreen envelops most of the façade. The 3.5-inch screen size may sound small at the outset, but sufficient enough to avert us from infidelity, at least before we get tempted by another seductress. The single-core 600MHz CPU pumps-up the device and as you can understand we would like to steer clear of mentioning anything about it. Something is better not discussed. 512 MB RAM is existing, and it do help to speed up the show a bit. Micro SD card facilitates memory expansion, up to 32GB. The screen resolution is intolerable, and asks for frequent zooming to see the text precisely. However, this has become a standard for smartphones in this segment. The 5MP snapper seemed exciting at the outset, but before long we found out the absence of Flash. Regrettably, the camera is restricted in terms of clicking great pictures. The Android Ice Cream sandwich is the show-stealer here, with the Sense UI sitting on top of it. This twosome makes for smooth and swift user experience.  |
