Today HTC did what they haven't done so far. They showcased three smartphones -Desire 501, Desire 601 and Desire 700, in different price brackets at one time. The cheapest amongst them is the HTC Desire 501 dual SIM which is priced at Rs 16,890.
HTC Desire 501 dual SIM will be made available in the market during Christmas time and can be purchased via both online and physical retail outlets. Here is our first experience with the device.
Specification:
HTC Desire 501 is 9.8 mm thick and weighs 130 grams despite having a 2100 mAh battery. It has a 4.3 inch Super LCD 2 display and with a 480x800 pixels resolution. The Desire 501 is armed with a 1.2 GHz dual core processor which is assisted by 1 GB RAM. It has ample 8 GB internal storage along with an expandable storage slot that can support up to a 32 GB micro SD card.
Besides, the HTC Desire 501 comes with an 8 megapixel rear auto focus camera, LED flash, and a 2.1 megapixel front camera. It runs on Android 4.1operating system along with HTC Sense 4.0 UI . It supports WiFi , NFC , Bluetooth 4.0, and micro USB for connectivity. HTC Desire 501 is a dual SIM smartphone - SIM 1 is for 3G and SIM 2 is for 2G.
Design:
HTC Desire 501 will be available in three colours - cream, blue and white. It has quite an attractive design. Its edges are rounded and one will feel comfortable holding it. In its front, apart from the 4.3 inch display, you will find a 2.1 megapixel camera on the top right corner, adjacent to the ear piece which has a crome ring surrounding it.
In the back panel, the Desire 501 houses an 8 megapixel auto focus camera, and an LED flash at the top while a speaker grill is at the bottom. Volume rockers, power on/off button, 3.5 mm jack and a mini USB port are in the side panels.
As compared to other phones available in the same price bracket from Indian and MNC players, HTC Desire 501 looks better in terms of design. Only drawback in HTC Desire 501 is that it doesn't have any sort of space earmarked for opening the back panel. One has to try inserting finger nails in one of the side panels to pull out the back cover and by doing so one may damage the back panel.
