HTC Desire 310: reviews, photos, prices and specs

In the first half of 2014, the smartphone of the average price range HTC DESIRE 310 was on sale. The reviews, a detailed description of the technical characteristics and indication of its strengths and weaknesses - this is what will be described in detail in this short article. Initially, in April, sales of a single-use version of this smartphone with the code mark D310H started. In three months it became possible to buy a two-part version of this device. It is designated D310W. Otherwise, they are identical devices, and their hardware characteristics are the same.

Hardware base of smartphone

Most middle-end devices are based on the chips of the company "MediaTEK". This HTC device is no exception. It is built on the basis of the single-chip system MT6582M. As expected, it includes 4 cores of energy-efficient architecture "Cortex A7". In the peak load mode, they operate at 1.3 GHz. If there is no need for such an intensive mode of operation, the clock frequency is reduced to 300 MHz. Again, if one kernel is sufficient to solve the problem, the unused components of the CPU are automatically turned off. The possibilities of this chip are enough to solve most problems, including demanding 3-D games. With everything HTC DESIRE 310 can handle. Reviews of the owners of the device just confirm this.

Graphic arts

A sufficiently efficient graphics subsystem distinguishes HTC Desire 310 from its competitors. The reviews indicate that it copes with a wide range of tasks without problems. It is based on the graphic accelerator 400MP2 from the developer company "Mali". The display diagonal of this gadget is 4.5 inches, it displays more than 16 million colors. The screen is built on the basis of the TFT-matrix. This technology is a bit dated, but for middle-level device its use is quite justified. The resolution of the display is 854 points at 480 points. Protective glass in this gadget is not provided, so you need to buy a protective film, otherwise damage to the surface of the touch screen can not be avoided.

Cameras and what they are capable of

The main camera boasts a 5 Mp matrix. This device does not have autofocus technology and there is no LED flash. There is only a digital zoom, so the quality of the photo leaves much to be desired. But the video recording is much better with the HTC Desire 310. Reviews Say that the videos are recorded in HD-quality, that is, in the resolution of 1920x1080. The quality of the picture pleases the eye. The second camera is displayed on the front panel of the device. Its main purpose is to make video calls, so a matrix of 0.3 Mp is enough.

Phone memory

Only 1 GB of RAM is equipped with a smartphone HTC DESIRE 310. Reviews owners say that this is enough for the normal operation of the gadget. The integrated memory in the device is only 4 GB, of which the user can use only half. The rest is reserved for the installation of programs and for the needs of the operating system, so without an external flash drive, the owners of such a device simply can not do. It can install a TransFlash card with a maximum size of 32 GB. This is enough for a comfortable work.

At once in three color cases this model of a smart phone is on sale: orange, black and white. Housing material - plastic. The HTC DESIRE 310 WHITE is the biggest criticism. Reviews indicate that the surface is very dirty. White color seems to attract dirt. The orange version is very bright and not bright. Best of all, of course, is a black case, on which no scratches or dirt are visible.

According to the form factor this model is a monoblock with a touch screen. All the control buttons are located on the right edge of the smartphone, so you can control it even with one hand. On the top edge are two main connectors - micro-USB and 3.5 mm micro-jack. At the bottom is a small hole for the microphone. Under the screen there are three classic buttons for controlling devices with the Android operating system: Menu, Back and Home. Above the screen is a front camera, sensors and a talking speaker.

Battery

The smartphone is equipped with a battery for 2000 mAh. Its resource, according to the manufacturer, should be enough for 852 hours in standby mode. In reality, it is enough for a day, a maximum of two days of battery life with a mediocre load. If the intensity is increased, then the apparatus will need to be put on charge in the evening. Of course, this device can not boast of phenomenal autonomy, but still it is enough for comfortable work. Some similar devices can not boast of even such capabilities.

The program part of the device

The release of Android OS with serial number 4.2 with the firmware Blinkfeed from HTC is preinstalled on the HTC DESIRE 310 DS smartphone. Reviews indicate that with her help you can customize the interface to your needs and significantly increase productivity on your smartphone. Also installed a set of services from Google: maps, e-mail, and + google. Do not forget the programmers and social services. Preset "Facebook", "Tweeter" and "Instagram." The rest of the software to the owners of the device will have to be installed from the Playmarket.

Connectivity options

A rich set of data transfer methods for HTC DESIRE 310 DUAL. The feedback of the owners of the device suggests that they function quite well and allow you to exchange information with the outside world without any problems. The list of interfaces in this case is as follows:

• Wi-Fi provides a good data transfer speed (maximum it can be 150 Mbps). Great for those cases when you need to download large files from the Internet, for example, movies or music. With more simple tasks, this wireless interface will cope with a bang.
• Bluetooth is designed to exchange files of small size (photo, for example) with similar devices. The maximum range of this technology is 10 meters. But this is quite enough for comfortable data transmission.
• Micro-USB. The main purpose of this wired interface is to charge the battery, but it can also be used when connecting to a personal computer. To do this, it is enough to disconnect the cord from charging and install it into the corresponding connector of the personal computer.
• Also, there is a transmitter that provides navigation with the use of two systems - GPS and "GLONASS". So this smartphone can be used as a navigator.
• Another wired way of transferring information is the 3.5 mm audio jack for connecting headphones or speakers.

The above list is sufficient for solving any problem related to the transmission of information.

Owner feedback and results

An excellent combination of performance and price is HTC DESIRE 310. Reviews of owners characterize this device only on the positive side. Essentially, he has only two drawbacks. The first is that the user can only use 2 GB of internal memory during operation, but this problem can easily be solved by installing an external drive. The second minus is a poor degree of autonomy. A maximum of one battery charge is enough for 2 days of operation with a mediocre loading of the device. But this defect can be eliminated. Nuno only find a similar battery, but with more capacity. And you can do it at any time. Overall, this is an excellent mid-range smartphone.
