Comparisons Featuring HTC Vivid
Short Review
- The HTC Vivid features a solid build with dimensions of 128.8 x 67.1 x 11.2 mm and a weight of 176.9g, available in black and white.
- Its 4.5-inch S-LCD display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 245 ppi, although it lacks HDR support.
- Powered by a Qualcomm APQ8060 Snapdragon S3 chipset and a dual-core 1.2 GHz Scorpion CPU, the device performs adequately for basic tasks with 1GB of RAM.
- The 8 MP rear camera captures decent photos and can record video at 1080p@30fps, while the 1.3 MP front camera is suitable for selfies.
- Battery capacity is 1620 mAh, but it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) with an upgrade path to 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and HTC's Sense UI, the software experience is relatively dated.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
- The device includes a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack.
- Overall, the HTC Vivid is a functional smartphone with basic features and performance for its time.
