Comparisons Featuring HTC Merge
Short Review
- The HTC Merge features a compact design with dimensions of 120.7 x 61.9 x 13.8 mm and a weight of 198g, making it relatively portable.
- Its 3.8-inch S-LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 246 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM7630 chipset with an 800 MHz CPU and 2GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- The battery capacity stands at 1400 mAh, with no fast charging or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 2.2 (Froyo) with Sense UI, the software experience is dated compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device has a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack.
- Overall, the HTC Merge offers basic functionality with limited features, reflecting its 2011 release.
- Its design and build quality are functional, but it may not meet the expectations of users seeking advanced capabilities.
