GADGET GIZMO REVIEW .......................HTC Desire 310



GADGET GIZMO REVIEW HTC Desire 310

SPECIFICATIONS  
4.5-inch (854 x 480 pixels), 1.3Ghz quad core Mediatek processor, 512MB RAM, 4GB + microSD, 5MP rear + VGA camera, 3G, Android 4.2, 2,000mAh battery, 140 grams Compact size, well built, full HD video recording, stock Android UI Low resolution display, poor still camera performance, average battery life

In 2013, HTC solely focused on their flagship HTC One. This was probably the reason they lost a substantial share in the growing entry and midrange smartphone segment. Now, in 2014, they are looking to get a foothold into the segment starting with the HTC Desire 310.
Unlike usual HTC Android smartphones, the Desire 310 does not include Sense UI. Instead it comes with a stock Android interface with minor tweaks to deliver a smooth performance. HTC has also included the BlinkFeed section, video highlights, app drawer interface and the customised HTC keyboard on the phone.
At 140 grams, the phone feels heavy for its size. However, in typical HTC fashion, it is well built with no creaking or flexing of the panels. The matte finish on the rear provides a good grip but tends to develop scratches over time. The 4.5-inch display has good viewing angles but average brightness. It's also a fingerprint magnet and the Android buttons are on the screen which takes up screen space while running apps.
Performance was good thanks to the stock user interface. We were able to play a 720p HD video as well as games like Subway Surfers and Temple Run 2 without any problems. The rear 5MP fixed focus camera was sort of a letdown. The images it captured were too noisy and the lack of an LED flash made it useless in low light environments. The only good thing is that the Desire 310 records full HD video in good quality. The 2,000mAh battery struggled to last a single day with mix use of multimedia, calling and social networking. Overall, the Desire 310 tries hard to impress but fails in comparison to the Moto G in every aspect (except expandable storage). The Moto G offers better hardware, better screen, software, performance, camera and battery life when compared with the Desire 310.
