Reviews for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8928 processor

HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle Smartphone Review

HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle Smartphone Review

Provoking the mid-range. HTC has often tried to score with stylish looks, hi-res sound, and decent cameras. Thus, HTC's Desire 10 Lifestyle dual-SIM handset is an interesting offer in the mid-range. Can the 720p panel and relatively slow SoC stop this wave?
