HTC Desire 626 Dual SIM Mobile Price List in India

Taiwan-based HTC is popular all over the world for its smartphones that seamlessly blend appeal with versatility. The company of late in February 2016 put up for sale the HTC Desire 626 Dual Slim LTE smartphone strapped with almost all the proprietary features that HTC handsets are known for. Though the device isn’t exactly a frontrunner as premium HTC phones happen to be but it still packs in quite a punch at its listed price which is relatively modest compared to its high-end predecessors.

Specifications

The chassis of HTC Desire 626 is all reinforced plastic lending to the phone an extraordinary robustness. The internal parts remain supremely protected as you’d be hard put to disassemble the framework. The slimness of the handset (8.19mm) allows for an easy fit in your palm and carrying the gadget is effortless as it tips the scales at 135g. Devoid of any glossy finish at the back or front translates into having a good grip.

The 5-inch HD user-interface is large enough to exhibit clear and distinct illustrations or representations but the low display resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels (not up to the mark by HTC standards) is a compromise. This resolution is perfect for texts but just not par for the course if you want to watch movies or scroll through photo albums. However, this deficiency is more than made up by the Desire 626’s Android v4.4 KitKat OS letting you use the phone’s features with amazing convenience.

Additionally, reinforced with the proprietary HTC Sense UI, the handset allows you to customize themes as per your preferences and requirements. You’ve ready access to innumerable user-specified themes classified under a gamut of categories enabling you to personalize a theme of your choice and also choose how the same is displayed. The MediaTek MT6752 Octa-core 1.7GHz processor comes in handy when you’re using the gadget for accomplishing routine tasks and attempting to run many apps.

2GB of RAM memory is adequate for playing games, viewing movies or downloading music files. 16 GB of ROM expandable up to 32GB with a micro-SD card lets you create backup of all your files and documents. The primary 13 megapixels camera comes preinstalled with features like autofocus, backside illumination, gesture controls, countdown timer, and face sensor letting you take shots with amazing leeway. The 5 megapixels camera at the front is good for making video-calls and taking selfies.

The 2000 mAh lithium-polymer battery offers excellent support to the phone keeping it functional for long hours.

Verdict

Costing Rs. 12,000-13,000, the Desire 626 will be up for grabs particularly by those who had been looking forward to own a HTC handset but could not because of the steep price of most of its models. All in all, the HTC Desire 626 makes a good buy if you’re willing to overlook the low resolution and the extended load times. There are a number of other options in the same segment which includes the likes of Moto G Plus, 4th Gen (16 GB), Panasonic Eluga Turbo, and Asus ZenFone 2 Ze551ml.
