  • MicroSD card slot
  • HTC Sense offers lots of fun
  • Useful features to Android Ice Cream Sandwich
  • The HTC Desire C is an entry-level phone
  • But HTC hasn’t skimped on its design. There are nice touches everywhere you look. Even when you life the cover off
  • The red interior screams out as if to say “look at me.” The cover is plastic

  • Weak processor
  • Small low-res screen
  • Call volume is quite quiet
  • 600MHz chip is slow under pressure
  • Average snapper
  • Higherspec handsets available for the same price.
  • The display isn’t at the same level of HTC’s more stellar smartphones such as the HTC Desire One X. Its 480 x 320 pixel display isn’t as clear
  • Or as bright
  • But still manages to cope adequately in bright conditions
  • But don’t expect it to blow you away. The camera is fixed focus
  • Which means you’ll never get close to the high quality photos possible on more advanced smartphones. You’ll need stea

  • Attractive design, ICS & Sense 4.0, Beats Audio, Easy to use
  • Slow and sluggish, screen unresponsive at times, poor account integration
  • The HTC Desire C is better than the handsets it's come in to replace, but not by much.The intuitive interface, attractive design and competitive price tag means the Desire C certainly has the opportunity to do well at the low end of the market – especiall...

  • Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, HTC Sense 4.0, decent camera,
  • Slow processor, unresponsive screen
  • The HTC Desire C is a decent little smartphone, with Ice Cream Sandwich as a special treat and a half decent camera too, but that low-powered processor means it's outshone by other low-priced Androids.SpecificationsSoftware : Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sa...
