In the first half of 2014, a mid-range smartphone HTC DESIRE 310 went on sale. Reviews, a detailed description of technical characteristics and an indication of its strengths and weaknesses - that's what will be described in detail in this short article. Initially, sales of a single-symbol modification of this smartphone with the code designation D310H started in April. Three months later, it became possible to purchase a dual-sim version of this device. It is designated D310W. Otherwise, they are identical devices, and their hardware specifications are the same.
Smartphone hardware
Most mid-range devices are based on MediaTEK chips. This HTC device is no exception. It is based on the MT6582M single-chip system. As expected, it includes 4 cores of the Cortex A7 energy-efficient architecture. In peak modeboot they operate at 1.3 GHz. If there is no need for such an intensive mode of operation, then the clock frequency is reduced to 300 MHz. Again, if one core is enough to solve the problem, then the unused CPU components are automatically turned off. The capabilities of this chip are enough to solve most tasks, including demanding 3-D games. HTC DESIRE 310 can cope with everything. Feedback from the owners of the device only confirms this.
Graphics
Sufficiently powerful graphics subsystem distinguishes HTC DESIRE 310 from competitors. Reviews indicate that it copes with a wide range of tasks without problems. It is based on a 400MP2 graphics accelerator from the Mali development company. The display diagonal of this gadget is 4.5 inches, it displays more than 16 million colors. The screen is based on a TFT-matrix. This technology is a bit outdated today, but for a mid-range device, its use is fully justified. The display resolution is 854 dots by 480 dots. Protective glass is not provided in this gadget, so it is mandatory to purchase a protective film, otherwise damage to the touch screen surface cannot be avoided.
Cameras and what they can do
The main camera boasts a 5 MP matrix. This device does not have autofocus technology and no LED flash. There is only a digital zoom, so the quality of the photo leaves much to be desired. But with video recording significantlythings are better with HTC DESIRE 310. Reviews say that videos are recorded in HD quality, that is, at a resolution of 1920x1080. At the same time, the picture quality is pleasing to 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 megapixels is enough.
Phone memory
Only 1 GB of RAM is equipped with a smartphone HTC DESIRE 310. Reviews of the owners say that this is quite 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 installing programs and for the needs of the operating system, so the owners of such a device simply cannot do without an external flash drive. It can install a TransFlash card with a maximum size of 32 GB. This is quite enough for comfortable work.
This smartphone model is sold in three color cases at once: orange, black and white. Case material - plastic. HTC DESIRE 310 WHITE causes the most complaints. Reviews indicate that the surface is very dirty. White color seems to attract dirt. The orange version is very bright and non-staining. Best of all, of course, is the black case, on which neither scratches nor dirt are visible.
According to the form factor, this model is a monoblock with a touch screen. All control buttons are displayed on the right edge of the smartphone, so you can control it even with one hand. Two main connectors are displayed on the top edge - micro-USBand 3.5mm micro-jack. At the bottom there 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 the front camera, sensors and earpiece.
Battery
The smartphone comes with a 2000 mAh battery. Its resource, according to the manufacturer, should be enough for 852 hours in standby mode. In reality, it will last for a day, a maximum of two days of battery life with a mediocre load. If the intensity is increased, then the device will need to be charged in the evening. Of course, this device cannot boast of phenomenal autonomy, but still this is enough for comfortable work. Some similar devices cannot even boast of such capabilities.
The software part of the device
The release of the Android OS with serial number 4.2 with the proprietary Blinkfeed add-on from HTC is preinstalled on the HTC DESIRE 310 DS smartphone. Reviews indicate that with its help you can customize the interface to your needs and significantly increase the productivity of your smartphone. A set of services from Google is also installed: maps, evernote, mail and + google. Programmers have not forgotten about social services either. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are preinstalled. The rest of the software the owners of the device will have to install from the Play Market.
Connectivity
Rich set of waysdata transfer from HTC DESIRE 310 DUAL. Feedback from the owners of the device suggests that they function quite normally 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 rate (maximum it can be 150 Mbps). Great for when you need to download large files from the Internet, such as movies or music. With simpler tasks, this wireless interface will cope with a bang.
- Bluetooth is designed to exchange small files (photos, for example) with similar devices. The maximum range of this technology is 10 meters. But this is quite enough for comfortable data transfer.
- Micro USB. The main purpose of this wired interface is to charge the battery, but it can also be used when connected to a personal computer. To do this, it is enough to disconnect the cord from charging and install it in the appropriate connector of the personal computer.
- There is also a transmitter that provides navigation using two systems at once - GPS and GLONASS. So this smartphone can be used as a navigator.
- Another wired way to transfer information is a 3.5 mm audio jack for connecting headphones or speakers.
The above list is enough to solve any problem related to the transfer of information.
Owner reviews and results
Excellent combinationperformance and price - this is HTC DESIRE 310. Owner reviews characterize this device only on the positive side. Essentially, it has only two shortcomings. The first of these is that the user can only use 2 GB of internal memory while working, but this problem is easily 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 work with a mediocre load of the device. But this shortcoming can be eliminated. Nuno just find a similar battery, but with a larger capacity. And you can do it at any time. Overall, this is a great mid-range smartphone.
