HTC Desire 516 dual sim Specs and Reviews

The Taiwanese company HTC introduced around March a new terminal in principle had to be available only to China. But with the release of other devices of the same size, the firm has seen fit to announce that the new HTC Desire 516 are also available in Europe. We are facing a mid-range smartphone that has all those features that you would ask any intelligent device today, able to compensate for the absence of large specifications with a very economical price, within reach of a vast majority of pockets. In exchange for not having 4G/LTE connectivity or with a more powerful processor, the HTC Desire 516 will sell for about 270 euros and India for Rs 14,200 an amount which for now is only hypothesis, the absence of official confirmation from HTC itself.

But why can be interesting for the HTC Desire 516 users? We highlight his wide 5-inch screen with a maximum resolution of 540 x 960 pixels and has a quad-core processor combined with 1GB RAM. Too bad for now, run through an old version of Android rather than with some of the most recent. We refer to Android 4.4 KitKat logically. But let's look a little more closely. We analyze thoroughly the technical specifications of HTC Desire brand new 516.

HTC Desire 513 - Design and Display :

The HTC Desire is a 516 mid-range phone as you can see from the pictures, comes equipped with a fully finished in plastic housing. Nevertheless, architecture design respects the other members of the Desire family, with a nice structure to the touch and comfortable to hold, with rounded edges an texture that makes it a most handy smartphone. And that complies with generous measures 140 x 72 x 9.7 mm and weighing 160 grams, largely because the screen that HTC has chosen for this team is not exactly small. Nothing is further from reality. The HTC Desire 516 will be presented in two different versions that differ only by color: black and silver gray, two classic shades.

But let's talk about the screen, one of the most important components of any smartphone. For the occasion, HTC has decided to opt for a large 5-inch panel on the device category phablet. It is a capacities screen with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels and a resulting density of 220 dots per inch. You see, this is not an optimal resolution, but very successful for a phone like the present one. This will ensure we correctly display the contents. 

Camera and Multimedia :

As for the camera, HTC has opted for a basic. We are facing a main camera with 5 megapixel sensor, more than ready to take pictures of 2592 x 1944 pixels. This feature can be combined with many other potential features like LED Flash, essential for taking photos in dim environments or even at night, geotagging, touch focus and face detection. Moreover, this is the same camera that allows you to record video in a quality of 720p @ 30fps, which is not bad. The secondary camera to find on the front of the smartphone has a 2 megapixel sensor(480p) and can be a must for those who are used to make video calls or practicing the art of selfie tool.

And how could it be otherwise, we have to indicate that the HTC Desire is a perfectly solvent 516 for playing multimedia phone. The overview of the team ensures compatibility with most major used (AAC, AMR, OGG, M4A, MID, MP3, WAV, 3GP, 3G2, MP4, WMV, AVI) formats for playing audio files, pictures and video. Includes FM Radio and access, if users wish to tools like YouTube or Spotify (in this case have to download separate application) to enjoy playing your favorite videos and music streaming, turning the phone into a real center for entertainment.

Memory and Power :

The HTC Desire is wrong either 516 engine. Not at all. This mid-range terminal comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with 200 quad-core architecture and ability to run at a clock frequency of 1.2 GHz accompanying graphics card (GPU) is an Adreno 302, which should ensure proper implementation of the applications and content that the user integrate them into the team. This will be the case thanks to the RAM, which in this case is estimated at 1 GB. However, it would be advisable to indicate that the user is not overloaded excess equipment capacity to prevent, ultimately, a slowdown in performance.

The model has only u na version with 4 GB of internal storage that users can use to store all types of files without restrictions. This includes documents, images, videos, photos and applications. If this capacity he falls short, there's always the possibility to expand withmicroSD cards up to 32 GB.

Operating System and Applications :

Unfortunately, the new HTC Desire 516 will land on European soil runs through an old version of the Google operating system for mobile and tablets. We refer to Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, a version that should be updated to a higher edition as Android 4.3 Jelly Bean or preferably KitKat Android 4.4.2, which is one of the most recent that we have on the table. In any case, like all HTC handsets, it also combines the functions of Android with the HTC Sense interface, in this case version 5.1, which allows the brand to add certain features and native functions will not find on any terminal another manufacturer.

Moreover, as a team with Android, users will find much of installed applications that allow us access to the most important (and free) Google services. We can find the following: Google Search, Google Maps with Navigation, Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, Picasa, YouTube, Google Talk, etc.. In fact, can also access Google Play, the app store Google the company makes available to all its customers to download new content and programs that help them to improve and extend the functionality of their handsets.

Connectivity :

The HTC Desire is a smartphone 516 doubly prepared. We say this because it has two slots for inserting SIM card, allowing the user to enjoy two lines in one device, ideal resource if you have two phones, one for work and another for personal matters. In any case, as we pray the technical data, this is a device that operates on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 networks - SIM 1 & SIM 2 and HSDPA 900/2100. This means that users can connect without any problems to 3G (HSDPA 21 Mbps, HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps), but also to the following - and essential - technologies: WiFi 802.11 b / g / n, WiFi Hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP and A-GPS with GLONASS, a feature, the latter, which will help us to use the HTC Desire 516 like a dedicated GPS navigator and give us support for the various applications connect to services requiring geolocation. In the area of physical connections, we have to have the basics: A microUSB 2.0 input, an output of 3.5 millimeter headphone jack and a slot for microSD cards, interesting, as we said, to expand the storage capacity of the computer.

Autonomy and Availability :

The HTC Desire 516 has an integrated lithium-ion battery with a fairly loose capacity (1,950 milliamps) that will offer a range of approximately a day at full capacity. According to tests conducted by HTC taking into account measurement standards, we are talking 220 hours standby time and about 9 hours of talk time. However, it should be noted that the final performance of the team always variables may have affected the type of connections the user remains active, the features you use, the network status, temperature or the age of the battery itself whose capacity goes diminishing over time.

On availability, HTC has not offered an exact date. All we know is that the HTC Desire 516 will go on sale soon in Europe. Your price could be between 200 and 300 euros(INR 14,200).
