Short Review
- The HTC Desire 530 features a compact design with dimensions of 146.9 x 70.9 x 8.3 mm and a weight of 140g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 5.0-inch Super LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 294 ppi, suitable for everyday use.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 chipset with a quad-core 1.1 GHz CPU and 1.5GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with demanding applications.
- The rear camera has an 8 MP sensor with f/2.4 aperture, capable of recording 720p video at 30fps, while the 5 MP front camera serves well for selfies.
- The 2200 mAh battery provides moderate usage time but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the software experience is basic and may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, and NFC support, but it does not support 5G.
- The phone is available in black and white colors, offering a simple aesthetic.
- There are no stereo speakers, but it retains a headphone jack for audio needs.
- Overall, the HTC Desire 530 is a straightforward device suitable for users with minimal requirements.
