HTC Desire 500 Phone

El HTC Desire 500 It is not the most powerful phone on the market, but it is true that it is an adequate solution to carry out the most common tasks with a mobile terminal, such as managing mail and browsing the Internet. Well, its autonomy has undergone a performance test.

For example, the screen on the HTC Desire 500 is 4,3 inches with a resolution of 800 x 480, so it shouldn't consume a lot of power.

The same happens with the processor, which is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 that has two cores that work at 1,2 GHz. Regarding its battery, and due to its dimensions, the one included in the terminal has a charge of 1.800 mAh, and it is the one that "supports" the demands of all components, including 3G and WiFi antennas.
