Short Review
- The HTC Primo features a compact design with a black finish, emphasizing portability.
- Its 3.7-inch Super AMOLED display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of 480 PPI, which delivers vibrant colors and decent clarity.
- Performance is powered by a dual-core 1.0 GHz CPU and 512MB of RAM, suitable for basic tasks but limited for multitasking.
- The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, capable of capturing decent photos, though it lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- Battery specifications are unspecified, but the device does not support wireless charging.
- Running on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience may feel 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 may affect audio quality, while the inclusion of a headphone jack is a positive feature.
- Overall, the HTC Primo is a basic smartphone with essential features for everyday use.
