HTC pays considerable attention to the production of mid-range devices. The recently released Desire 620 was replaced by a more interesting model - 626. What changes have occurred in the new product?
Design
At first glance, no special changes in appearance have occurred. However, a more detailed HTC Desire 626 review reveals minor differences. The smartphone has become a little thinner than its predecessor and received less weight.
The smartphone is made of a nice matte plastic. The material used allows to avoid slipping of the device, which is important for the convenience of work. Weight reduction also has its advantages, now the device can be used with one hand.
Phone HTC Desire 626 received many variations of colors. The company released blue, white, dark blue and even purple models. The number of colors, material and stylish appearance distinguish the device from the gray mass.
The arrangement of parts on the case creates its own style of apparatus. On the front of the smartphone is a display, controls, front camera, sensors, logo and speakers. The left side has a slot for cards, and the right one for the power button and, of course, the volume control.
The main camera, the flash and the manufacturer's mark are located behind. The butt at the top of the device was taken under the headset jack, and at the bottom for the USB jack and microphone. In addition to the details of the case, the painted sides are also eye-catching.
Unfortunately, the manufacturer had to make sacrifices for the sake of design. The smartphone is non-separable, given the weak battery, this becomes a noticeable drawback. In addition, the back instantly collects scratches and fingerprints.
Camera
The HTC Desire 626 matrix has also undergone changes . A review of the camera will delight as many as 13 megapixels and a resolution of 4128 by 3096. However, the images are far from ideal: the image is not very bright and detailed. Actually, the quality is more like eight megapixels.
When taking a photo in low light conditions, the user has new problems. In addition to low brightness, grit and noise are added. Unfortunately, the settings are unable to fix all the flaws of the camera.
Smartphone HTC Desire 626 received an excellent front-end. Surprisingly, five megapixels of the front camera have the necessary brightness and sharpness. In addition, the front camera is capable of recording HD-video.
Display
Much more attention was paid to the screen of HTC Desire 626. The review should start with a diagonal of five inches, with a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels. All characteristics are perfectly balanced, and it is very difficult to detect flaws.
Installed IPS technology provides a high angle review and picture saturation for HTC Desire 626 . The screen fades slightly in the sun, but the situation is not particularly critical. A nice detail will be the HD-quality, absolutely indistinguishable from Full HD.
Hardware
HTC Desire 626 Dual received 8 cores, each of which operates at a frequency of 1.7 GHz. The Snapdragon 410 processor, which is often used in HTC, consolidates the success. The “filling” looks impressive and will certainly cope with many tasks.
The manufacturer did not stint on the RAM in two gigabytes. However, the Mali video accelerator was definitely saved. Among the advanced details, such a graphics engine looks pale. The only good news is that the video accelerator is the latest version, namely the T760MP2.
Changes also affected the amount of native memory. Now the phone has not 8, but 16 GB. Of course, only 9 are available, but that’s enough. It is also possible to expand the flash drive up to 32 GB.
Autonomy
Batteries are the most painful topic on most devices. This problem was not spared by the brainchild of HTC. The smartphone got a battery of only 2000 maH, which is definitely not enough for him. In standby mode, the device will last a day, and with active work only 5 hours.
Cost
The asking price for the 626 model ranges from 16-18 thousand rubles. This is definitely a lot, even for such a phone. Among competitors, you can find similar models with lower cost.
Positive reviews
The strongest side of the device is its hardware. Stuffing allows the owner to work with a host of programs and run demanding games.
The display also shows itself on the best side. Although the resolution is the smallest for this size, it doesn’t affect the quality much.
Negative reviews
The main disadvantage of the phone is the material soiled. Fingerprints as well as scratches will become an integral part of the device.
Confuses and high cost. Although the device’s good characteristics, it clearly does not correspond to the asking price.
Total
Unfortunately, changes in the phone affected the price more than the quality of work. The unsuccessful processing of the camera and the increase in memory are not at all what I wanted to see in the new version of the model. Naturally, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, but the smartphone is clearly not matured to the middle class.
