Comparisons Featuring HTC Desire XC
Short Review
- The HTC Desire XC features a compact design with dimensions of 119.5 x 62.3 x 9.4 mm and a weight of 107 grams, making it lightweight and portable.
- Its 4.0-inch TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for high-definition content.
- Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.0 GHz CPU and 4GB of RAM, providing sufficient power for everyday applications, although it may struggle with more demanding tasks.
- The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, capable of recording video at 480p@30fps, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- The battery capacity is 1650 mAh, which offers limited longevity and does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers and the presence of a headphone jack may appeal to some users.
- The device is available in black and white colors, but lacks water resistance features.
- Overall, the HTC Desire XC is a basic smartphone suitable for users with minimal requirements.
