Flaunting a large display, the HTC Desire 626 is a mid-range Android smartphone with LTE support. The phone is noticeably lightweight and offers decent performance with its 64-bit processor, while also enabling significant degree of customisation.
Build and Display
Considering the features available on the HTC Desire 626 vis-a-vis the price, it might not be quite surprising to see that the phone is made of plastic. This is no doubt part of the reasons the smartphone weighs in at only 140 grams.
The phone is strongly-built despite the choice of material for the chassis. It is also neither too thick nor thin at slightly over 8 millimetres. HTC Desire 626 packs a 5-inch capacitive touch display with an HD resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels.
Camera and Storage
Packing a 13-megapixel main camera with flash, the HTC Desire 626 can hold its own against the primary shooters on some high-end devices in terms of resolution. There is also a 5-megapixel snapper on the front for quality selfies and video calling purposes.
Internal memory of 16GB should be able to hold significant number of photos, mobile videos and songs. You can also add up to 128 GB extra storage space using a microSD card should the provided storage memory prove insufficient for your needs.
Hardware and OS
HTC Desire 626 is equipped with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor, which is clocked at 1.2GHz. The 64-bit chip is paired with economical RAM of 1GB while an Adreno 306 GPU takes care of graphics.
The mid-range smartphone runs on Android 4.4.4 KitKat operating system overlaid with HTC’s Sense 6.0 UI, which enables users to customise the device to their taste. The HTC Theme Store makes it possible for you to completely alter the look of the phone.
A non-removable battery of 2000mAh capacity supplies needed juice for the HTc Desire 626. Connectivity options on the smartphone include Bluetooth 4.0, microUSB, 3G and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n. HTC Desire 626 also supports LTE and features HTC BoomSound speakers for improved sound.
