Short Review
- The HTC Dream, released in 2009, features a compact design with dimensions of 117.7 x 55.7 x 17.1 mm and a weight of 158g, making it portable but somewhat bulky.
- Its 3.2-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of around 180 ppi, which is modest by today's standards.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm MSM7201A chipset with a 528 MHz ARM 11 CPU and 192MB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking and demanding applications.
- The rear camera is 3.15 MP with autofocus but lacks optical image stabilization, and it does not support a front-facing camera.
- The battery capacity is 1150mAh, providing limited longevity without fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 1.6 (Donut), the software experience is basic and lacks many modern features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device lacks a headphone jack and stereo speakers, which limits audio options.
- Overall, the HTC Dream is a foundational smartphone with basic features that reflect its era.
- Its build quality and design are functional, but it falls short in performance and modern capabilities.
