HTC Desire 601

 

Hands-on: An enticing mid-range phone with the awesome speakers from the HTC One

The HTC Desire 601 is a sensible phone with a feature or two that helps separate it from the masses of pretty anonymous mid-range Android phones. Best of the lot is the BoomSound array of speakers on the phone’s front, which supply much meatier sound...

While the price has yet to be announced, the HTC Desire 601 will sport a much more affordable price tag than the top-of-the-range HTC One and One Mini. Add to that LTE connectivity and a nicely desinged chassis, and this could be a serious contender in...

HTC Desire 601 review

 

Want BoomSound and Zoes but without the expense?

Great HTC features ; Low price 4G

Not a lot different to One Mini ; Could be hard on battery

With so many similar phones on the market this could be a tough sell. However, with elements like a microSD card slot to back up the 8GB of onboard storage and nearly all the HTC goodies bar the Ultrapixel sensor on offer, the Desire 601 is a pretty...

The HTC Desire 601 brings 4G and flagship stylings on a budget

 

With its powerful dual front-facing speakers, 4G LTE and decent camera, the HTC Desire 601 is a good option if you want HTC style but can't afford the flagship.

The ; shares attractive design cues with the flagship HTC One, the front-facing speakers pack a serious punch, it has 4G LTE and it won't break the bank either.

It's running on old Android software, its screen resolution doesn't impress and its dual-core processor doesn't really give a lot of power.

Sure, it doesn't have the latest Android software on board, but if you're after a good-looking HTC phone with powerful speakers and 4G LTE for speedy data downloads, the Desire 601 is an affordable option to consider.

HTC Desire 601 review

 

With mid-range phones, the key to success is very often totrickle enough of that tasty cutting-edge tech down from the toptable to the lower priced buffet range. So can the HTC Desire 601deliver the necessaries with its dual-core processor and 4G...

Decent camera, Boomsound speakers, 4G network capability

Sub par screen, so-so processor

The HTC Desire 601 is a good mid-range phone with a reasonablypowerful processor and a surprisingly good camera, though it's letdown a little by its less-than-HD screen. Despite its many goodpoints however, it struggles to distinguish itself from the...

HTC Desire 601 Review

 

HTC is slowly building an army of mid-range smartphones, and the Desire 601 is one of the newest officers in its ranks. With a 4.5” qHD display, Snapdragon 400 SoC and a 5 MP camera, the HTC Desire 601 is definitely not going to scare away the opposing...

Front-facing stereo speakers

Mediocre call quality ; So-so camera

The HTC Desire 601 is an OK mid-range smartphone. It doesn't fascinate us in any area, including the design, the internals and the software. However, it does deliver a decent user experience with no significant slow-downs.
