Short Review
- The HTC Flyer features a compact design with dimensions of 195.4 x 122 x 13.2 mm and a weight of 420.8g, making it portable yet sturdy.
- Its 7.0-inch LCD display offers a resolution of 600 x 1024 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 170 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking in sharpness for high-definition content.
- Powered by a Qualcomm MSM8255T Snapdragon S2 chipset and a 1.5 GHz Scorpion CPU, it delivers adequate performance for everyday applications, although it may struggle with more demanding tasks.
- The device includes 16GB of internal storage and 1GB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p, while the front-facing camera is a basic 1.3 MP.
- The 4000 mAh battery provides decent longevity but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) with an upgrade path to 3.2 (Honeycomb) and Sense UI, the software experience is dated compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers and the presence of a headphone jack are notable features for audio.
- Overall, the HTC Flyer is a basic tablet that meets fundamental needs but falls short in several areas compared to contemporary devices.
