HTC Desire 210 Hands on Review and First Look: The Rise of Low Cost Smartphones

HTC Desire 210 Dual SIM - Display

The Device has a standard 4-inch WVGA ( 854 x 480) display. Honestly, the display size seems fine, but the problem lies with its resolution. The viewing angles and color saturation on the Desire 210, however, are not passable, if one asked to compare the phone's display with the Nokia X.

Although the screen responsiveness to touch was above average. Of course the HTC Desire 210 screen have had bad viewing angles than the Nokia X though.

HTC Desire 210 Dual SIM- Processor, Battery and Dual SIM

The Desire 210 features a 1GHz Dual-Core processor ( MediaTek MT6572M) coupled with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal memory. The phone's spec looks neat on the paper, but do not expect rocking gaming performance. It would've been great to see at least 8GB of on-board storage.

The makers have added a 1300mAh removable Li-polymer battery fitted inside. Speaking about the Nokia X, it comes with a 1500mAh battery which can run up to 10.5 hours on a single charge(3G).

Like the Nokia X, the HTC Desire 210 Dual SIM has Dual SIM support ( Micro SIM + Regular SIM).

HTC Desire 210 Dual SIM- Camera

The Desire 210 Dual SIM comes with a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, and a VGA quality front-facing shooter. Unfortunately, the 5MP rear-facing camera appeared to be fixed focus. Plus, it also lacks an LED Flash.

The quality of images snapped using the phone were below average. This ought to be the case with most of the budget phones, especially, priced under Rs. 10,000 price mark. The Camera UI, on the other hand, lives up to the expectations. As usual, the front-facing camera was unbearable.
