HTC has been quite aggressive in getting its One and Desire line-up in India. The latest smartphone to join the league is HTC Desire VC. This is the first dual-SIM smartphone from HTC that runs on Android 4.0 and supports both GSM and CDMA functionality. In terms of specs, this device is very similar to the HTC One V but whether or not it performs at par or better than the One V is something we shall.
Now we talk about looks of phones and other features.
The HTC Desire VC is a good-looking smartphone. At 9.5mm, it is pretty slim and sleek and lighter too weighing just 119 grams. The outer body seems to be made of plastic, however it does not look cheap and feels rather sturdy. There is a rubberised texture on the back panel, which allows for a comfortable grip.
Most of the front screen is taken by the 4-inch touch screen, which is large enough to read emails, browse the net and even watch videos. The bottom houses three capacitive standard Android buttons for Back, Home and Recent. The left panel houses the Micro-USB/charging port while the right has the volume rocker keys.
The back panel features a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash and the speaker along with the Beats Audio branding. The top of the device has the standard 3.5mm headphones jack and the power/wake button while the bottom has the microphone.
Considering that it is a high-end dual-SIM smartphone, we were expecting its SIMs to support hot swap but that is not the case here.
HTC Desire VC packs in 1 GHz Cortex-A5 processor and 512 MB of RAM and there is a 1650 mAh Li-Ion battery on board.
Display
The 4-inch capacitive touch screen has a 480x800 pixels resolution translating into pixel density of 233 ppi. Though this is slightly less than 252ppi of the HTC One V, but the images and text look good on this smartphone. Viewing angles are also good and so is visibility under the sun. The screen of HTC Desire VC is reflective.
On the downside, the glass used is not Gorilla glass so one needs to be a bit careful with it so as not to accidentally scratch it.
Camera
The HTC Desire VC packs in a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash. In terms of functionality, the camera of features touch-to-autofocus and a handful of scene modes and settings to make photography easy and fun. These options are available for still photography as well as for video recording.
The camera on this smartphone is fast, even while focusing. However, the quality of the images is at most decent in adequate lighting conditions and quite dull while shooting pictures indoors. There is no front camera on this smartphone for video calling.
Video recording also doesn't perform exceptionally and the maximum resolution that one can get is 800X480. The quality of videos too was sub-par. There is no dedicated camera button on this smartphone.
Phone performance is well. this phone like too much peoples
