HTC Desire 600

HTC recovered the loses very well with the launch of HTC One, and they are carrying the momentum to their upcoming devices too. HTC Desire 600 is the device which is following the footsteps of the flagship device. The device has also support for two Sims, so we better call it HTC Desire 600 dual Sim. The dual Sim support is becoming a need for people but most of them think of it as an extra feature. Well let's see what the HTC Desire packs other than the Dual Sim support.

Display & Design:
HTC Desire 600 packs a 4.5" 720p Super LCD2 Display with a resolution of 540 x 960 (245ppi). The resolution isn't HD which is a sudden set back. Talking about the design, it off course is inspired by the HTC One and it would be an awesome alternative to it. The whole body is made of plastic which gives the device a firm grip and make the device immune to fingerprints. The back panel is removable. BoomSound speakers are located at the front just like the HTC One had on the front. The device also has built-in amplifiers.

Processing & Capturing:
HTC Desire 600 uses the Snapdragon 200 chipset, a 1.2GHz Quad-core Cortex -A5 processor and 1GB of RAM. The Snapdragon 200 chipset would sound outdated as well as the Cortex-A5 CPU, but they can handle most of the tasks very well. The capturing is controlled by an 8MP primary sensor which helps you record 720p videos (disappointing not to have 1080p video recording). This device also has a dedicated chip for the capturing, and also has LED flash. The device uses a wider lens. So the capturing department has a lot to offer. There is also a 1.6MP front cam.


Software & Connectivity
This device uses the outdated Android version 4.1.2, while its siblings HTC One and HTC One Mini had Android 4.2.2 out of the box. However the device is skinned with latest HTC sense UI 5. It had some of the extra goodies too like BlinkFeed. The Sense UI 5 is really an amazing thing to have in the bucket. The device lacks LTE support but it has NFC, its optional though. Talking about the dual Sim feature only one Sim can use the 3G network other has only 2G support.

Storage, Price & Conclusion:
The device has only 8GB on-board storage. But you get the Micro SD card slot with the device which can support up to 64GB of storage.The device costs 420 euros, so its not a mid-range device it lies in the upper mid-range territory. The device is already available globally in Black and White colors. As I mentioned earlier the device is a great alternative to the expensive HTC One, but you can't forget the fact that the outdated software and CPU structure can cost you later. However the device manages to have a premium look and eye catching design.
