Short Review

  • The HTC Desire 516 dual SIM features a plastic build with dimensions of 140 x 72 x 9.7 mm and weighs 160g, providing a lightweight and manageable design.
  • It sports a 5.0-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 220 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for high-definition content.
  • Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 chipset with a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and Adreno 302 GPU, supported by 1GB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking and demanding applications.
  • The rear camera is a 5 MP unit capable of recording 720p video at 30fps, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
  • The battery capacity is 1950 mAh, providing limited endurance without fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 4.2.2 with Sense UI 5.1, the software experience is dated, lacking updates and modern features.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device is available in black and white colors, but lacks water resistance and stereo speakers.
  • Overall, the HTC Desire 516 is a basic smartphone with essential features suitable for casual users.
