HTC Desire 310

The first android device by HTC that claims to be in the budget is the new ‘HTC Desire 310’.it has got several advantages as well disadvantages that needs to be well-known prior to buying the product.

Look and feel of HTC Desire 310

Unlikely to the several thin products rising in demand in the market of technology, HTC desire 310 is rather overweight. The product has got a thickness of about 11.25 mm with a weight of 140 grams. Individuals can easily handle this 4.5 inches screened product with one hand.

The various attractive colours of the product are white and dark blue, which increases its demand in the market. Its dual-sim facility and slot for micro-SD card also is a great facility that brings it in huge demand in the market.

Software

The HTC desire 310 runs the ‘Android 4.2.1often called as jelly bean’.it does not rather support the ‘usual customised sense UI interface’.it has the ‘blinkfeed visual newsreader’ and with the help of the ‘Sense’, the device has borrowed its app drawer. Rest of the icons are all in-built stock in the android.

The famous apps like WeChat, twitter as well as Polaris office suit are some of the ‘third-party apps’ that come in-built in a package with this package. Also, it has got the useful app of Video highlights that helps in the collaboration of the pictures taken and creation of instant pictures slide-show.

Camera

In spite of having several outstanding features, this phone has got a disheartening picture quality of the rear camera. Its five pixel rear camera with no auto focus facility had made all the viewers disappointed. The camera becomes almost useless in no light or low light.

A lot of noise is created while taking the pictures, even at the daylight. Also, the front view camera has got a low picture resolution of merely 640 by 480 pixels. The presence of the panoramic and HDR modes are ultimately worthless with such a low quality of the camera.

Phone features

1. Mediatek MT6582 quad-core processor clocked at 1.3 Ghz, with Mali 400 MP graphics. 2. A RAM of 512 MB capacity that is claimed to be a very poor quality in today’s market. 3. Though the internal storage capacity is of 4 GB, the available capacity of only 1 GB. The space has to be expanded with the help of Micro-SD card. The external storage capacity is of 32 GB.

Performance

The less capacity Ram makes the device ‘to stutter and lag in day-to-day operation’. The battery longevity is found to be only of 6 hours and 23 minutes, which is very low and thus the device gets shut down if used for a long time in discharging condition.
