HTC DESIRE 310 BLUE

Product Information

The HTC Desire 310 is just a little too overpriced for only 3G, the poor display and camera…with devices like the Motorola Moto G out there offering a much better value, the Desire 310 may have a rough go of it. HTC claims it is a mid-range smartphone, but the it just does not add up – the processor does a fine job, even with gaming, and the Dual-SIM is nice, but the poor display, poor camera and poor calling sound just does not make this a first choice in 3G smartphones. The camera isn’t super-sharp, but there is an OK amount of detail on offer in good lighting. Note that the swans are overexposed, though. Don’t like the idea? HTC has also made it easy to turn BlinkFeed off, giving the Desire 310 more of the feel of a standard Android phone. System on Chip (SoC) A system on a chip (SoC) includes into a single chip some of the main hardware components of the mobile device. SoC The HTC Desire 310 has good software and offers decent performance at the price. However, the camera and screen are weak points, and as they’re both pretty important, this is not going to be remembered as an HTC classic.

Information about the process technology used in manufacturing the chip. The value in nanometers represents half the distance between elements that make up the CPU. Similar to the CPU, the GPU consists of processing units called cores. They handle the computation of graphics in various applications. Sleek Elegance: The HTC Desire 310 combines a sophisticated design with reliable performance, making it a statement piece that mirrors your sense of style and refinement. The HTC Desire 310’s CPU is pretty capable, too. It uses the Mediatek MT6582M processor, a quad-core 1.3GHz number that is roughly comparable with the Snapdragon 400 used by the Motorola Moto G. However, the Mali 400MP2 GPU is a little less competent than the Adreno 305 used by the Snapdragon 400, and we did notice that gaming performance was slightly less consistent than it was in the EE Kestrel or Moto G. Can it handle games like Real Racing 3 though? Absolutely, it runs fine, with just slight frame rate inconsistency.

CPU is the Central Processing Unit or the processor of a mobile device. Its main function is to interpret and execute instructions contained in software applications.

We will admit that this isn’t something you’ll naturally do often, but it does mean you can’t really share videos all that well when you hold the phone in landscape orientation – the screen will look pretty rubbish to anyone sat to the to the left or right. It’s also not great if you’re playing a game where you have to tilt the screen, as you see the limited angles altering the look of the screen with every move.

With a bit of careful use you can get a good day and a half’s use, thanks to the efficient standby mode. It’s roughly on-par with something like the Motorola Moto E. The camera app is one part that the Desire 310 doesn’t share with the HTC One M8, though. Here you get a pretty basic affair with HDR and panorama modes, but no extra fun filters or more creative modes. The instruction set architecture (ISA) is a set of commands used by the software to manage the CPU's work. Information about the set of instructions the processor can execute.
