Comparisons Featuring HTC Desire L
Short Review
- The HTC Desire L features a compact design with dimensions of 128 x 66.9 x 8.9 mm and a weight of 118 grams, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 4.3-inch Super LCD2 display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 217 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A5 processor paired with 4GB of RAM, providing modest capabilities for everyday applications.
- The Adreno 203 GPU handles graphics, though it may struggle with more demanding games.
- The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus but lacks optical image stabilization, and video recording is limited to 720p.
- Battery life is supported by an 1800 mAh capacity, with no fast charging or wireless charging options available.
- The device runs on Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean), which is outdated compared to current software standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The HTC Desire L is available in white, black, and pink colors, but lacks water resistance features.
- Overall, it is a basic smartphone suitable for users with minimal demands.
