HTC Salsa

Description

The description of HTC Salsa includes:

  • Qualcomm 800MHz processor
  • Android 2.3 operating system with HTC Sense
  • 512MB RAM, 512MB of internal storage and also an expansion slot for external memory
  • 1mm length; 58.9mm width and 12.3mm thickness
  • A display of 4-inch as well as 480 x 320 pixels display resolution
  • It weighs 120g

Build

  • The build and design of this handset is beautiful.
  • HTC Salsa has a rubber back, which is segmented through different shades of blue
  • The rest of the back is made of greyish metallic material which is actually attractive.
  • The same metallic material is wrapped around the front.
  • The back plate cannot be removed. So, to reach the SIM and microSD card you have to remove the small cover at the lower portion of the back side. Of course, this design reminds us of HTC Legend.
  • There is a slight lip at the front bottom edge, which is also not new to us.
  • The colour contrasts used are weird but look good.

Features

HTC Salsa: The Verdict

HTC Salsa is actually a very nice phone. It fulfills all the need of mid-range users. The Facebook button is not that appealing, other than that there are no visible faults in the set. Battery life is amazing, display is crystal clear, design is good and performance is also fast. Finally, It fulfill all the expectations of average user.
