Nice little phone, I made a real good choice though I didn't think so at the beginning. I bought it new in the O2 shop for ￡119, the phone come with 3 years warranty, I like the way you can handle it with one hand, it is just the right size and with a screen big enough to see you basic browsing and...

Price quality is excellent

Good quality budget smartphone. Does exactly what I wanted to and is far easier then my old phone. Sleeker, more stylish and far more efficient. Would definitely recommend. One thing to say though; make sure you remove the plastic protector from the battery before charging it for the first time.

1. Camera are poor and terrible, these 5mpx are maybe for kids. Even my old Nokia with 2mpx was better... Doesnt exist autofocus as well, so cannot use for QR code reading. 2. CPU are slow. Using a 60/70% for just a standby mode... 3.

Here we are at the end of another smartphone review, and this one has been a real eye opener in to the world of the ‘budget smartphone' because I have been truly surprised by how good the device is.

The HTC Desire C is a cheap and very compact Google smartphone running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

the phone is a good 1st smartphone it does plenty ok

Mid-range handsets running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich are still quite a rarity. Most manufacturers settle on releasing devices that only have Android 2.3 Gingerbread pre-installed, or worse, some other version of the Android software that's even older, like Froyo or Eclair. But not HTC.

There's a lot to be desired about HTC Desire C but its low price point would have to be its most attractive spec. It may be an entry-level phone but it runs Ice Cream Sandwich and features Beats Audio technology. For a cheap phone, its specs are quite decent.

All in all the HTC Desire C is very close to being a recommended handset, but falls short thanks to the humble 600MHz processor, mediocre camera and HVGA screen. It does get a lot right, we love the design with its red accents and think HTC did a great job getting Android 4.0 and Sense 4.0 on their...

Great design; Ice Cream Sandwich; Sense 4.0

HVGA screen; Poor camera; Slow processor

Great for school and get by for work. To take classroom board pictures notes and work pictures to any work better. Text to friends and family.

Good phone with great sound and talking receiption

Internet and videos for the price; but good phone
