Comparisons Featuring HTC Pure
Short Review
- The HTC Pure features a compact design with dimensions of 108 x 53 x 13.7 mm and weighs 117.5g, making it portable.
- Its 3.2-inch TFT resistive touchscreen offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 292 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM7201A chipset, with a 528 MHz ARM 11 CPU and Adreno 130 GPU, supported by 288MB RAM and 512MB ROM.
- The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus but lacks optical image stabilization, and video recording is limited to 480p at 15fps.
- Battery capacity stands at 1100mAh, with no fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- The device runs on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional, which may feel outdated compared to modern operating systems.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- Notably, it lacks a headphone jack and stereo speakers, which may limit audio options.
- The phone is available in black and has no water resistance features.
- Overall, the HTC Pure is a basic device reflecting its 2009 release, suitable for essential tasks.
