Specifications
Hardware and design
HTC offers another 4.3-inch device with the Desire 500. An aluminum unibody case with a removable battery and expandable storage. A micro SD slot and a removable battery are certainly two important features of the Desire 500, similar to the Galaxy S4 Mini and quite the opposite of the One Mini. The quad-core SoC is based on the Snapdragon 200 series; the mainstream smartphone has 1 GB memory and the Adreno 203 GPU.[4]
The larger sensor is on the back and takes pictures with 8 megapixels and is supported by an LED flash. The size of the BSI sensor is 0.312 inches with an aperture of f/2.4 and a 28 mm lens. The front camera has a resolution of up to 1.6 megapixels and can record HD videos (720p) - just like the main camera.[4]
The Desire 500 has a resolution of 800x480 pixels (WVGA) and a pixel density of 217 ppi.[4]
HTC equips the Desire 500 with a Qualcomm SoC, the Snapdragon 200 8225Q. The quad-core CPU has a clock of 1.2 GHz and is produced in a 45 nm manufacturing process. It supports the ARMv7 instruction set and can use 1 GB memory.[4]
Software and services
The Desire 500 is using Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean) in combination with the latest version of HTC's launcher Sense; one popular feature is HTC BlinkFeed.[4]
