HTC Desire 310 Smartphone Review

HTC is now ready to compete with the rivals in the entry and midrange smartphone segment with its new HTC Desire 310. The midrange smartphone is available in the Indian market at a price tag of Rs. 11,700. The budget phone is powered with Quad Core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and runs over Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS. The high resolution TFT capacitive 4.5 inch display comes with HTC Sense UI 5.1 and offers decent video experience. Crystal-clear sound quality of loudspeakers would please the ears as well. It sports 4 GB of internal memory which can be expanded up to 32 GB with a microSD memory card.

You can browse the internet and play games with ease, though multitasking can lead to slower performance as it has 512 MB of RAM. It gets power from a removable 2000 mAh battery that lasts up to 8 hours. The phone sports a 5 MP rear camera, but autofocus and flash are missing. The video quality is quite satisfactory with the rear camera, but video calling is average with the front VGA camera.

It looks pretty in hands; the sleek and lightweight plastic body is about 140 gms, which makes it handy as well as pocket friendly. It is powered with in-built GPS with GLONASS that allow you to navigate places effortlessly.

On extensive benchmarks like AnTutu and Qandrant, it performed well but not better than its competitors like Moto G and Canvas Turbo Mini. The phone is available in black and white colors.

Bottomline: A good mid-range smartphone, but lags in multitasking performance as compared to competitors like Moto G and Canvas Turbo Mini.
