There is no doubt that HTC’s Desire 510 offers up value, with a fast 4G connection at a budget price, but at what cost? The screen on this handset is truly a shocker, and makes using the phone not so much of a joy or even a mediocre experience, but more something you’ll want to put away the first glance you get.

HTC Desire 510 review: Inbetweener

The HTC Desire 510 is the kind of phone that's likely to be in high demand for a good while. Perhaps not the device itself, which will soon start dealing with growing competition, but the very concept of an affordable phone with the fastest network data will make more and more sense as 4G networks extend to even the emerging markets.

If you just want a phone for taking advantage of the new, super fast 4G network at a low price, then you'll be quite happy with the HTC Desire 510. However, if you want your smartphone to be more than just a portal to the internet, and to watch high definition media and take superb photos, then you'll want to look elsewhere – and probably consider spending a bit more money.

There are two things we outright don't like about the HTC Desire 510, and these happen to be its camera and display. The display is borderline unusable under direct sunlight, and the image looks washed out. A fixed-focus 5MP camera is very unimpressive in 2014, but its quality is absolutely disappointing.

HTC Desire 510 hands-on review: HTC's new budget 4G phone rivals Moto G
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
It's a shame about the screen and the cameras on the HTC Desire 510, because aside from that it's a strong contender in the budget smartphone market. We're looking forward to putting the Desire 510 through some speed test to see how it compares with rivals, though.

The HTC Desire 510 is the latest phone to offer 4G for cheap, but with some slick LTE rivals like the EE Kestrel and the Motorola Moto G 4G to contend with, the Desire has a lot to prove. We quite like the Desire's design, although it isn't as handy for one-handed use as the Moto and the Kestrel, and the screen and camera are ultimately a little disappointing. Still, some slick performance and excellent battery life make it a handy portable pal, if you're not too bothered about watching video on the move.

Comment

Model: The HTC Desire 510 is designed as a smartphone that doesn't break the bank. Despite its low price, the HTC Desire 510 has a few features which makes it stands out, for example 4G LTE and being the first Android phone to ship with a 64 bit processor. The design looks similar to some of the higher end HTC models; all plastic with a single matte finish. However, when held in hand, it feels heavy and thick. This is not surprising since it weighs a rather chunky 158 g and measures 10 mm in thickness.

It comes with a 4.7 inch screen with a resolution of 840 x 480 pixels, which is as low as it gets on smartphones these days. While the brightness is good, the display appears rather fuzzy. The HTC Desire 510 stands out by being one of the first budget phone to support the faster 4G LTE network in addition to the usual 3G. The Desire 510 is also notable for switching to a quad core Snapdragon 64 bit processor, although the speed upgrades are not significant. While it comes with 4 GB internal storage, only 0.84 GB is available for use, which makes an external MicroSD card absolutely necessary.

Qualcomm Adreno 306: Integrated mid-range graphics card in the Snapdragon 410 SoCs that supports OpenGL ES 3.0 and features unified shaders.

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

This display is tiny. You will probably see very little on the screen and be able to use mini-resolutions.

HTC:

High Tech Computer Corporation (HTC) is a Taiwanese manufacturer of cell phones, tablets and other electronic products.

71.14%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
