Comparisons Featuring HTC Desire 501 dual sim
Short Review
- The HTC Desire 501 dual sim features a compact design with dimensions of 128.5 x 66.7 x 9.8 mm and a weight of 130g, available in black, white, and pink.
- Its 4.3-inch Super LCD2 display has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 217 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU and NovaThor U8500 chipset, supported by 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage.
- The rear camera offers 8 MP with autofocus, capable of recording 720p video, while the front camera is 2.1 MP.
- The 2100 mAh battery provides adequate power but lacks fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) with Sense UI 4+, the software experience is basic by modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC support.
- The device does not support 5G and uses a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer.
- The absence of stereo speakers may limit audio experience, but it retains a headphone jack for wired audio.
- Overall, the HTC Desire 501 is a straightforward device suitable for basic tasks.
