Supports two SIM cards, good battery life, large display and powerful processor, - all this attracted the attention of buyers to HTC Desire 310. And for good reason. In many respects, the phone is really good, although it is far from a flagship and the developers still saved on some points.

Design

Externally, the three hundred and tenth is not much different from smartphones in its price category. This is the same monoblock made of plastic, which is assembled conscientiously. The buyer has the freedom to choose the color scheme, which in our opinion is a big plus.

As expected, there are no stereo speakers on the front panel. The main speaker is located at the bottom of the back of the smartphone. Considering that most users are accustomed to placing the phone on the table with the screen facing up, the speaker is noticeably muffled during a call in this position.

The power button, as in many other models, is located on the left side of the top end. And if in larger models it is quite problematic to unlock the phone with this button arrangement, then in the three hundred and tenth model there is no problem with this. Even in a small woman’s hand, the smartphone lies comfortably and securely.

The rounded corners of the rear panel create a double impression. On the one hand, the tactile sensations are quite pleasant, but on the other hand, a more aggressive design is perceived better today.

Performance

I was pleased with the speed of work. The interface just flies. No freezing or jerking for you. The processor easily handles multitasking and runs heavy applications without problems. 2D games work perfectly, and there are no special problems with 3D.

The 2000 mAh battery, although not the ultimate dream of Android device users, still gives you enough time battery life even with heavy loads during the day. With average usage, the phone will be able to work for two days without recharging, which is a pretty good result for Android.

The strangest and most incomprehensible solution in this model is the inability to transfer applications to a memory card. Whether the developers wanted to protect users in this way from a possible decrease in performance when using memory cards of older generations, or whether they had other reasons is not clear. But the fact remains - for programs, games, cache, application data, etc. you will only have 4 gigabytes. Extension microSD memory The card is only needed for music, videos, pictures, documents and other files.

Functional

The phone's display is far from the best, but it can't be called bad either. He's average. The resolution is small, but working with the device is quite comfortable. Viewing angles could also be a little wider.

The camera is quite standard for a budget smartphone. 5 megapixels can give a good picture in sufficient lighting. But at dusk, at night or in rooms with poor light, you can’t count on a good shot. Noise is very noticeable, and photos often come out blurry. Front-camera This seems to be just for show. 0.3 megapixels is far from what modern users expect. Although, if the ability to take a beautiful selfie or communicate via video is not important to you, then no problem.

The external speaker is loud enough so you won't miss incoming call even on a loud street, but the sound quality is a little lame. Especially at high volumes. With sound in headphones everything is fine in perfect order– clean, pleasant and loud.

In general, the phone can be either praised with laudatory odes about its strengths, or smashed to dust, demonstrating a large number of shortcomings. HTC has long been focusing on performance in its budget phones, abandoning the IPS matrix, high-quality speaker and normal camera. But for the average user, the HTC Desire 310 is ideal.

Most mobile device processors have finally reached a level where Android always runs smoothly, and 1 GB RAM not in everyone budget smartphone. Nevertheless, quad core Mediatek MT6582M managed to lag behind all competitors in terms of at least in one benchmark, 3DMark 2013 (1280 by 720, Ice Storm) - as expected, the built-in video adapter let us down ARM Mali-400 MP2. Other smartphones with this video adapter showed similar results, so it’s not our Desire 310’s fault. In non-graphics tasks, the performance of this chip outperforms all tested competitors, and in browser benchmarks it is at the same level. Speed ​​of built-in storage memory turned out to be very not bad- for example, the sequential write speed was 83.19 MB/s, which is 30.1 MB/s faster than the second-place LG L70. In other tests (sequential writing, reading and writing of 4 KB data blocks), the smartphone either slightly outperformed its competitors or was on the same level with them.

In reality this means that system performance will good enough- no worse than competitors, and you can safely do any usual tasks. The Desire 310 will even give some competitors a head start due to 1 GB of RAM - among the alternatives there are several devices with 512 or 768 MB of RAM, potentially capable of limiting the number of simultaneous open applications (which will cause you to have to open them again when you start them again, which means a slight delay) or prevent particularly demanding games from launching. By the way, about games: they run well, but the Mali-400 MP2 has even less graphics performance than the popular alternative from Qualcomm, Adreno 305 (which is built into many budget Snapdragons). If you need budget Android smartphone with the ability to play all games, Desire 310 does not perfect solution for its price (although, of course, games will run on it). For all other tasks its performance should be sufficient.

In the first half of 2014, the mid-price smartphone HTC DESIRE 310 went on sale. Reviews, detailed description technical characteristics and an indication of its strengths and weaknesses- this is what will be described in detail in this short article. Initially, sales of a single-SIM 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, these are identical devices, and their hardware characteristics are the same.

Smartphone hardware

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

Graphic arts

A fairly powerful graphics subsystem makes it stand out from its competitors. HTC phone DESIRE 310. Reviews indicate that it copes with a wide range of tasks without any problems. It is based on a 400MP2 graphics accelerator from the Mali developer company. The display diagonal of this gadget is 4.5 inches, it displays more than 16 million colors. The screen is built on a TFT matrix. This technology is a little outdated today, but for a mid-level device its use is quite justified. The display resolution is 854 pixels by 480 pixels. This gadget is not provided, so you must purchase a protective film, otherwise damage to the surface of the touch screen cannot be avoided.

Cameras and what they can do

The main camera boasts a 5 megapixel matrix. This device does not have autofocus technology and does not have an LED flash. There is only digital zoom, so the quality of the photo leaves much to be desired. But with video recording, things are much better with the HTC DESIRE 310. Reviews say that videos are recorded in HD quality, that is, in 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 0.3 MP matrix is ​​quite enough.

Phone memory

The HTC DESIRE 310 smartphone is equipped with only 1 GB of RAM. Reviews from owners indicate 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 only use half. The rest is reserved for installing programs and for the needs of the operating system, so owners of such a device simply cannot do without an external flash drive. You can install a TransFlash card into it maximum size in 32 GB. This is quite enough for comfortable work.

This smartphone model is sold in three color cases: orange, black and white. Case material - plastic. The HTC DESIRE 310 WHITE causes the most criticism. Reviews indicate that the surface gets very dirty. White color seems to attract dirt. The orange version is very bright and non-staining. The best thing, of course, is a black case, on which neither scratches nor dirt are visible.

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

Battery

The smartphone is equipped 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, maximum two days of battery life under mediocre load. If the intensity is increased, the device will need to be charged in the evening. Of course, this device cannot boast of phenomenal autonomy, but it is still enough for comfortable work. Some similar devices cannot boast even such capabilities.

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 HTC smartphone DESIRE 310 DS. Reviews indicate that with its help you can customize the interface to suit your needs and significantly increase productivity on your smartphone. A set of services from Google is also installed: maps, evernote, mail and +google. Programmers haven’t forgotten about social services. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are pre-installed. Device owners will have to install the rest of the software from the Play Market.

Connectivity

HTC DESIRE 310 DUAL has a rich set of data transfer methods. Reviews from device owners indicate that they function quite normally and allow you to easily exchange information with outside world. List of interfaces in in this case next:

• Wi-Fi provides good (maximum 150 Mbps). Great for when you need to download large files from the Internet, such as movies or music. With more simple tasks This wireless interface will do the job with a bang.
• Bluetooth is designed for exchanging 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 but it can also be used when connecting to personal computer. To do this, just disconnect the cord from charging and install it in the appropriate connector of your 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 method of transmitting information is a 3.5 mm audio jack for connecting headphones or speakers.

The above list is quite sufficient to solve any problem related to the transfer of information.
