The hero of the review is the HTC model – Desire 620G, announced last winter. At first glance, the device is an ordinary “workhorse”, but is it so? Thanks to the Yulmart cybermarket, the laboratory had the opportunity to understand this issue.

I believe that the Taiwanese brand does not need any additional introduction, since we have previously reviewed many of its mobile solutions.

Yes, HTC Desire 620G is by no means a flagship, but “ workhorse", which is designed to fully satisfy the needs of the average user. The advantages of the smartphone include a good HD screen, sufficient performance provided by the eight-core MediaTek MT6592, and an abundance of body color variations.

Well, what's new? model range the company is actually capable, we will try to find out as the review progresses.

Smartphone design

Reviews of the HTC Desire 620G DUAL SIM indicate that it has much in common with its predecessor, the Desire 610. Both the first gadget and the second have a body made of the usual plastic with good matte finish. The only difference is in size. The 620G has a screen diagonal of the most common 5 inches, while the 610 has a screen diagonal of 4.7 inches. Hence the difference in the dimensions of smartphones. The newer device has a length and width of 150.1 and 72.7 millimeters, respectively, with a thickness of 9.6 millimeters and a weight of 145 grams. But for the 610, these parameters are slightly different: the length and width are 143.1 and 70.5 millimeters, respectively, the thickness is the same 9.6 millimeters, and the weight is 144 grams. Above the display in 620G are and whole line sensory elements. One of the speakers is also located here. The second of them is located above the bottom edge of the device. There is also the manufacturer’s logo and three familiar touch buttons that provide control of the device. At the very bottom edge there is a small round hole for the speaking microphone and a microUSB port. On the top side there is a 3.5 mm port for wired connection speaker system. On the back cover, in addition to the manufacturer's logo, there is a main camera, an auxiliary microphone that suppresses external noise during a call, and LED backlight.

Processor solution

The CPU in the HTC Desire 620G is rightfully considered one of the strongest points. Reviews highlight this feature. It has a real 8-core MT6592 installed, which was developed by the second largest manufacturer of automated workplace processors - the MediaTek company. Each of its modules operates in the mode peak loads at a frequency of 1.7 GHz and is based on the most energy-efficient architecture at the moment - A7. Increased compared to basic models(1.7 GHz vs. 1.3 GHz) provides normal performance levels in single-threaded applications. Well, in multi-threaded software the MT6592 feels simply excellent. Still, 8 cores make themselves felt. As a result, any application, including the most demanding ones, will run on this smartphone.

Graphic arts

The perfect complement central processor in HTC Desire 620G DUAL SIM is graphics adapter. It is equipped with a Mali-450 MP4 video accelerator. Its computing resources, just like those of the MT6592, allow you to solve any, even the most complex, problems. The display of this device, as noted earlier, has the most common diagonal today - 5 inches. Moreover, its resolution is 720x1280 px, that is, the image is not displayed in HD format. The pixel density is sufficient, and individual pixels in the picture are quite difficult to distinguish. The display quality is high, the image at angles close to 180 degrees is not distorted. Color rendering, contrast and brightness also do not cause any particular complaints. But what can really be attributed to the disadvantages of this device is its support for only 2 touches to the surface. That is, if in any toy you need to immediately touch the display with 3 or more fingers, the device simply will not process the “extra” of them.

Cameras and their capabilities

The main camera of the smartphone is based on an 8 megapixel sensor. There is also autofocus and LED backlight. There are many modes that allow you to achieve even in the least favorable conditions acceptable quality photo. As a result, the pictures are really very good on the HTC Desire 620G DUAL SIM. Well, in this case the video is recorded in 1920x1080 px quality, that is, in Full HD quality. The front camera is based on a 5 megapixel sensor. Her technical capabilities quite enough for high-quality selfies and making video calls.

Memory

The HTC Desire 620G is also doing quite well with memory. It has 1 GB of RAM, of which about 600 MB will be occupied system processes, and the user can use the rest (that is, about 400 MB) for his own needs. The capacity of the built-in storage is 8 GB. 3 GB of them are system software, and 5 GB are space for installing user programs and storing personal data. If this is not enough, you can install an external flash card with a capacity of up to 128 GB.

Device autonomy

The HTC Desire 620G DUAL SIM has an average level of autonomy compared to its competitors. Reviews indicate this feature. The nominal capacity of the included battery, as noted earlier, is 2100 mAh. If you take into account the 5-inch display and, although energy-efficient, but 8-core CPU, it turns out that things seem to be not entirely good. But real experience operation of this device suggests that everything is not as bad as it seems at first glance. In reality, one battery charge is enough for 2 days of operation at an average load level of the device. At maximum level the specified value will be reduced to one day. Well, what about maximum savings this figure will naturally increase to 3 days.

Software

The HTC Desire 620G operates under the most common operating system for mobile gadgets today, Android. Current version its firmware is 4.4. On top system software Sense shell from the developer company has been installed HTC device. Unlike previous versions this modification significantly simplified and as close as possible to regular Android. This device is average price range and cannot boast of any unusual set of applications, unlike flagships. Clients of international social networks, a set of software from Google and the usual mini-applications are preinstalled here.

Interfaces

HTC Desire 620G DUAL SIM has a rich set of communications. Reviews characterize this gadget only with best side in this plan. Among wireless methods data transfer can be highlighted Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and support mobile networks 2nd and 3rd generations. In turn, wired can be done using MicroUSB and a 3.5 mm audio port. This is quite enough for normal and comfortable data exchange with similar mobile devices or global web in any volume.

Opinions of owners and experts

The HTC Desire 620G is a fairly balanced phone with a 5-inch screen and a powerful 8-core processor with sufficient memory and good battery life. Reviews describe this device exactly this way. Moreover, its price is only $300, which makes users very happy. Experts say that the HTC Desire 620G belongs to the segment of mid-level devices in all respects. Meanwhile, experts leave very positive reviews about it: the device copes well with the tasks assigned to it. So it turns out that this is one of the best devices in its niche, which has practically no weaknesses, and the cost is quite affordable for a device of this level.

HTC's lineup looks modest compared to others famous manufacturers. It contains quite a few devices from the bottom price category. If such smartphones come out, they are rare; most of the Desire series belongs to the middle segment. One of the few inexpensive devices with decent characteristics is the HTC Desire 620G. However, it became budget-friendly not so long ago: if now you can buy it for 130 dollars, then at the beginning of sales they asked for more than 200.

The smartphone was presented in December 2015 and is, by the standards of a mobile device, quite old. However, according to the level hardware it cannot be called outdated; many state employees in 2016 have not yet grown up to it. A review of the HTC Desire 620G will help you find out whether the smartphone deserves attention now, as well as identify its strengths and weaknesses.

The technical characteristics of the HTC Desire 620G put the smartphone on par with new budget devices of Chinese origin. The better or worse the hero of the review is - more details below.

Design, case materials, dimensions and weight

The smartphone is made in plastic case with rounded shapes. Three options are available in white and two in gray. Its design echoes the flagship One M series, but the device looks more modest. The dimensions of the smartphone are 15x7.27 cm, thickness – 9.6 mm. The device weighs 160 grams. Both the thickness and weight seem slightly excessive compared to the size of the screen.

The front panel contains proprietary inserts typical of HTC. A multimedia speaker is located on the bottom, and a conversational speaker on the top. Next to him is front-camera and light/proximity sensors.

There are no touch buttons under the display, although the free area hints that it is illogical to take away part of the display while having unused space below it.

The back panel is removable, it is made in the form of a monolithic “bath”. There is nothing on it except the camera and the manufacturer's logo. The left side is empty; on the right are the volume and power control keys. The headphone jack is located at the top, MicroUSB is at the bottom.

CPU

The smartphone is equipped with the once top-end MediaTek MT6592 chipset - the first “real” eight-core processor. All its cores (ARM Cortex A7) are collected in one cluster and can work simultaneously. The clock speed of any core can reach 1.7 GHz. This made the chipset one of the most powerful in 2014. As of September 2016, the capabilities of the chipset are no longer impressive and correspond to the budget class.

The Mali 450 MP4 graphics processor is responsible for 3D processing. It's good for 2016 games, but many of them can only be played on low settings graphics quality. In the AnTuTu 6 synthetic test, the device scores about 35 thousand points.

Memory

Volume of operational HTC memory Desire 620G is 1 GB, its type is LPDDR3. This is still enough for normal execution daily tasks, but not enough for games. There may not be enough RAM and for those who are used to frequently switching between applications, keep a dozen open source software. Undemanding users will experience virtually no memory deficit.

The smartphone has 8 GB of built-in memory, about 4 of which are available. It’s not enough, but the situation is saved by a separate MicroSD slot that supports drives up to 32 GB.

Battery

The battery capacity (removable) in the smartphone is 2100 mAh, which is quite small. Time battery life HTC Desire 620G is mediocre; resource-intensive games drain the battery in 3.5 hours. Look streaming video you can use it for about 5 hours; in web surfing mode, the smartphone will last about 7 hours. You will have to charge it every night anyway. From a native memory, this process lasts about 2 hours.

Cameras

The smartphone is equipped with an 8-megapixel camera with autofocus and a single flash. The aperture of the optics is f/2.4. The quality of shooting in daylight conditions is quite good, but only when viewed on the screen. Enlarging the image on the monitor makes blurriness and noise noticeable. In the evening there are even more of them. Compared to its competitors, the camera shows a similar level of quality, but is inferior to some models.

The front camera of the smartphone has a resolution of 5 MP and is not distinguished by the high quality of the resulting photos. The device records video in FullHD resolution, with 30 FPS. The videos are written in 3gp format, so no high quality also out of the question.

Screen

The smartphone is equipped Super display LCD with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels and a diagonal of 5". Viewing angles can be called ideal, the backlight brightness is good, and Colorful temperature close to ideal. The touchscreen is made using OGS technology, covered with an oleophobic coating of medium quality, but supports only 2 simultaneous presses.

Communications

The smartphone has two SIM card slots, both in Micro format. The device supports all European GSM networks and 3G, but no LTE (modems with 32-bit MTK chipsets are not compatible with 4G). Wi-Fi operates in 802.11b, g, n networks in the 2.4 GHz range. Bluetooth version 4.0, with support energy saving mode data transmission. Navigation is carried out through GPS satellites and GLONASS.

Sound

The device is equipped loud speaker located on the front panel. Its placement is quite good, since the grille does not overlap either in the hand or on the table. The sound is loud, clear, even with a hint of bass. As for a budget employee, the sound quality is good, but it’s not up to par with the “big brothers” from the One series. The situation is worse with headphones; the device sounds the same as budget Chinese devices.

operating system

The smartphone OS is Android 4.4.2, with minor changes. The Sense shell only slightly modifies the interface; overall it is close to stock Android. Unfortunately, the manufacturer “forgot” about the users, updates to current version there is no system. There are more recent alternative firmware based on Cyanogen, Huawei Emotion UI and even MIUI8 from Xiaomi, but they stable operation no one guarantees.

Features of HTC Desire 620G

The abundance of colors of the same color is due to the fact that they differ in the color of the auxiliary elements. The cover itself is gray or white, but the edging of the display and camera is different. Thanks to this, a slightly unusual (discreet but stylish) appearance of the device is achieved.

Pros and cons of HTC Desire 620G

Pros:

• Fast processor;
• Good screen;
• High-quality sound;
• Decent design.

Flaws:

• Low memory;
• No LTE;
• Big sizes;
• Mediocre autonomy;
• Outdated OS.

Who is a smartphone suitable for?

In 2016, it is very difficult to compete with the new budget HTC Desire 620G. It will appeal to undemanding users who don’t need megapixels, gigabytes, or long battery life, but what matters is the speaker’s sound quality, screen, and design. Despite the plastic body, the smartphone will appeal to those who are tired of the same type of rectangles. Those with small hands may not like the HTC Desire 620G. After all, in size it is comparable to 5.5" phablets (the same Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 has a similar height, but is 3mm wider and 1mm thinner).

Our review of HTC Desire 620G

At the time of its release, the HTC Desire 620G was quite attractive and competitive. However, by the time of writing the review, the smartphone no longer looks like a favorite. It has a modest amount of memory (for this money you can find 2/16 GB of RAM/ROM), a weak camera (Meizu M3 takes better pictures), a small battery (it has Xiaomi Redmi 3 – 4000 mAh) and no 4G. The device is deliberately compared with the “Chinese” ones, since high-quality user support is not about the HTC Desire 620G.

In fairness, it is worth noting that against the backdrop of products from Chinese brands(eg Samsung J3 or Asus ZenFone Go) smartphone no longer looks like an outsider. But what makes it similar to these devices is the quality of materials and workmanship, which is no longer a property of purely products famous companies. Ergonomics - not the best strong point HTC is a level lower than the same Samsung.

We came to review the HTC Desire 620G, which was released back in 2016, but can be considered as a work phone even now. It does not have flagship specifications, but it is ideal for those who need a reliable phone for calls, communication in social networks and other simple tasks. The smartphone was equipped with an HD screen made using IPS technology and an 8-core MediaTek MT6592 chip. It attracts the attention of buyers appearance and a variety of body colors, about this and others important points You will learn as part of our HTC review Desire 620G.

Specifications:

• Screen - 5.0" IPS
• Resolution - 1280 x 720
• Operating system - Android 4.4.
• SoC - MTK MT6592 1700 MHz, Cortex-A7, octa-core

• Dimensions* - 72.7 x 150.1 x 9.6 mm
• Weight - 145 g
• SIM cards - 2 micro-SIM

The device is sold in a cardboard package typical for this manufacturer, with rounded corners. Its front side is decorated with the image of the hero of our review. The model name is also indicated so that the buyer immediately understands what he is dealing with. Having removed the top cover, the HTC Desire 620G immediately catches your eye, which lies on top in a cardboard backing. In addition, the package includes a microUSB cable, charger, headphones and documentation.

Design

HTC Desire 620G review showed that it is made in a plastic case with rounded edges, which improves ergonomics. There are several options for your choice in white body colors and two in gray. The design is somewhat reminiscent flagship line M, but it looks much more modest. The smartphone turned out to be quite thick - 9.6 mm, despite the fact that it has a battery of only 2100 mAh. The weight of 160 grams is also large for a plastic device with a 5-inch screen.

The front side retains the branded inserts. A multimedia speaker is built into the bottom one, and a conversational speaker is built into the top one, next to which there is a front camera and classic sensors.

There is a sufficient amount of space under the screen, but despite this you will control the smartphone using soft keys. Not the most logical solution, because by placing touch keys below, the manufacturer would have left more working display area, which would certainly have been beneficial.

The back cover is removable and rounded into a “bathtub” shape. There was only room on it for the camera, flash and corporate logo.

The left side was left empty, installing a volume rocker and a power button on the right.

The 3.5 mm audio jack occupies the top edge.

Below is a microUSB port.

Display

HTC Desire 620G dual review introduces the fact that the smartphone received Super LCD display with HD resolution and 5 inches diagonal. With this combination we have only 294 pixels per inch. Viewing angles are close to maximum, factory setting color rendering is not satisfactory. But the quality of the oleophobic coating applied to the surface of the display is low. Only two simultaneous clicks are supported.

The maximum brightness is not enough to make working with the phone in bright sun comfortable, but in general you can see the image. The minimum setting is ideal; you can turn it on while reading in a dark room so as not to tire your eyes.

HTC Desire 620G performance

HTC Desire 620G specifications are based on the top one at the time of announcement MediaTek processor MT6592 is one of the first models with 8 cores on board. His key feature is that all cores are collected into a single cluster and are able to function simultaneously. Maximum frequency, which they are able to develop to solve user problems - 1.7 GHz. But if once the processor was top-end, now it belongs more likely to the budget segment.

HTC Desire 620G dual sim The specifications include a Mali 450 MP4 video chip, which is responsible for processing graphics in games. With such filling in demanding games You can only play on minimum or medium graphics, otherwise they start to slow down unrealistically.

Synthetic test results:

There is only 1 GB of RAM, and about half of this volume is reserved for the needs of the system, and accordingly, very little is left for the user. It will not be possible to work with several applications at the same time; they will be unloaded from memory due to insufficient RAM. HTC phone Desire 620G dual sim characteristics suitable only for everyday use and solutions simple tasks. The built-in storage capacity is only 8 GB, of which only 4 remain available. This is incredibly small, but at least it saves a little from the situation microSD card with a capacity of up to 32 GB.

Autonomy

HTC Desire 620G dual sim review turns to the device’s battery, which has a far from record capacity of 2100 mAh. In games, the smartphone can be completely seated in just 3.5 hours, and when playing videos at maximum brightness, it lasted about 5 hours. Not everyone will survive until the end of the day, and this is even with such a weak filling. From the included charger it charges to 100% in approximately 2 hours.

Cameras

The HTC Desire 620G has an 8 megapixel main camera with a single-section flash and autofocus. The aperture is f/2.4. In daytime conditions you can still get nice pictures, but they will look decent only while you are watching them on a compact phone screen. When viewing footage on a computer, you begin to notice a large number of blur and noise. With the onset of dusk there are even more of them. Review HTC smartphone Desire 620G showed that the camera corresponds to a budget camera and shoots no above average.
