Comparisons Featuring HTC Desire 526
Short Review
- The HTC Desire 526 features a compact design with dimensions of 140 x 70 x 9.9 mm and a weight of 156 grams, making it easy to handle.
- Its 4.7-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 234 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 chipset with a quad-core 1.1 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1.5GB of RAM, suitable for light usage but may struggle with demanding applications.
- The rear camera is an 8 MP unit with an f/2.2 aperture, capable of recording video at 720p, while the 2 MP front camera is basic for selfies.
- Battery life is supported by a 2000 mAh capacity, but it lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- The device runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop with Sense 7 UI, providing a straightforward user experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers and HDR support is notable, though it does include a headphone jack.
- Overall, the HTC Desire 526 is a basic smartphone with essential features for everyday use.
