HTC Desire 610 Review and specifications






HTC-DESIRE-610


HTC has recently launched its new flagship, HTC Desire 610 which looks quite similar to HTC One. Many features are also similar. As we all know brands like Motorola, Samsung and Sony are trying their best to give products of all range. So to compete with these brands it is necessary for HTC to release all range products. Recently HTC had launched a high end device HTC One M8 with duo camera which was appreciated by the users and now HTC is trying to launch its plastic version without any duo camera. This product will come in the market by the mid of the June.





It can also be a tough competitor for Sony Xperia M2, Moto G and Micromax Canvas Knight. All of them are mid-range products. HTC has provided 4.7 inches of display with screen resolution of 540x960 pixels which gives better look to the screen. Front part the smartphone is embedded with dual speakers for better playback performance. Unlike HTC One M8, HTC Desire 610 has come with matte and glossy plastic body with dimensions 143.1 x 70.5 x 9.6mm. Its weight is slightly lower compared to the weight of Sony Xperia M2 which is 143.5g. Company has given various color options like Black, White, Red, Gray, and Green.

Company has provided 8MP of primary camera with BSI Sensor (video resolution of 3264 x 2448 pixels) to click exceptionally good pictures and 1.3 MP of secondary camera for video calling. 8 GB of internal memory storage is quite enough for storing the apps and data. Also expandable storage of 128 GB will attract users wishing to store high memory data. 1 GB of RAM will let you play the high resolution games without any interruption. It will support 2G/3G/LTE network for high speed internet surfing.

It will be based on the latest android OS v4.4 (kit-kat) which will help users to get latest apps from Google play store. Quad core processor with 1.2 GHz of clock speed will run application smoothly. But HTC has not provided latest chipset Qualcomm snapdragon 801. HTC desire 610 will be embedded with Qualcomm snapdragon 400 chipset. One more negative point is there regarding sensors; they have provided only accelerometer, proximity and ambient light sensor. So user will miss sensors like compass sensor, gyro sensor etc.

Pros:

Latest android OS v4.4 is provided.
Quad core processor is given.
4.7 inches of screen is quite satisfactory.
1 GB of RAM runs app successfully.
Expandable memory is up to 128 GB.

 

Cons:

Gyro sensor and compass sensor is not given.
Screen resolution could be increased.
They could have given 13 MP of primary camera instead of 8 MP camera.
Battery is only 2040 mAh.
Chipset is Qualcomm snapdragon 400.

Comparison with Sony Xperia M2:


Sony Xperia M2 is dual SIM device whereas HTC Desire 610 is compatible with single SIM only. Also Sony Xperia M2 runs on Android OS v4.3 jellybean whereas HTC Desire 610 runs on Android OS v4.4 kit-kat. 
Expandable storage of Sony Xperia M2 is 32 GB but on other hand Desire 610 has up to 128 GB of expandable memory.


Both have same pixels of primary camera but secondary camera of HTC Desire 610 is better than Xperia M2. Xperia M2 is compatible with magnetometer sensor and eCompass sensor but HTC Desire 610 has less of these features. Talking of battery life, Sony dominates over HTC.  

Conclusion:

All features are good by considering its price. Features could have been made better to attract the users. Although they are quite sufficient. In my opinion it can be good smartphone for mid-range users. Now we have choice among Moto G, Sony Xperia M2 and Micromax Canvas Knight. So you can select your product based on your brand taste.
