Short Review

  • The HTC Rhyme CDMA features a compact design with dimensions of 119 x 60.8 x 10.9 mm and a weight of 130 grams, making it easily portable.
  • Its 3.7-inch S-LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 252 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
  • Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon S2 chipset, a 1.0 GHz Scorpion CPU, and an Adreno 205 GPU, complemented by 4GB of RAM, which provides adequate functionality for everyday use.
  • The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, capable of recording 720p video, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
  • The 1600 mAh battery supports standard usage but does not offer fast or wireless charging.
  • Running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) with Sense UI 3.5, the software experience is dated but functional for basic applications.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, though it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
  • The device is available in Clearwater, Hourglass, and Plum colors, providing some aesthetic variety.
  • The absence of stereo speakers may limit audio quality, but it does include a headphone jack for wired listening.
  • Overall, the HTC Rhyme CDMA is a straightforward device with essential features suitable for basic smartphone users.
