Build

• The Design of the handset is simple but it is nice.
• The back is smooth and the corners are curved.
• The bezel at the top and at the side of the screen makes the handset seem large.
• BoomSound speakers are present beneath the screen which also adds to the length of the phone.

• There is a slot for micro USB on the bottom edge.
• The handset is available in 6 different colours.

Display

• The handset offers a 4.7 inch screen with 960 x 540 pixels of display resolution.
• The resolution is not that bad but at 4.7” it is simply insufficient. The text seems fuzzy at time.
• Video and image viewing is passable but the web browsing experience is not that good.
• If the screen was compared to Moto G that has a 720p 4.5-inch screen, you might begin to have second thoughts.

Camera

• The back holds an 8 megapixel camera.
• On the front there is a 1.3 megapixel camera, which makes video calling possible.
• Videos can be recorded at 1080p.
• The back camera gives nice shots.

Processor

• The 2GHz Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor gives efficient processing.
• The accompanying 1 GB RAM is a little less but it will do.
• Response is fast, the processor does a good job with almost all the tasks.

Memory & Battery

• The handset has 8 GB of built in storage.
• The memory can be enhanced by the use of a microSD card.
• The 2040mAh battery will get you through a day of full use. If the handset is more on standby mode it might even make it to second day.

Features

• HTC Desire 610 Android 4.4.2 operating system with HTC Sense 6.
• The interface is not much different from what we are used to.
• The handset is 4G supported.
• Features of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Near Field Communications and GPS are also present.
