Elegant Design and Constructive Qualities

YTDesign is a refreshing twist on HTC's classic style. Available in three vibrant colors, each displays a unique design—especially the brown variant, which is set to charm in select markets. The construct is excellent, with a removable glossy back cover, flat edges with a subtle texture, and a premium feel to the plastic material. Including an NFC chip, the HTC Desire 501 is a standout.

Photography and Storage Mastery

This camera is a jack of all trades with an 8 MP auto-focus camera that excels in low-light conditions thanks to the BSI sensor. Recording HD videos in 720p and 1080p at 30 fps is a breeze. Daytime photos are vivid with high saturation and sharpness. With 8GB internal storage and the option to use a 64GB MicroSD card, it's a photos enthusiast's delight. Plus, install your apps directly to the SD card for extra space.

Operational UI and Power Source

UDec 501 runs the HTC Sense 4.0 UI, retaining the classic HTC look while maintaining a responsive and fracture-free UI. The 2100 mAh battery is more than enough for a device with this screen size, and we'll share further insights soon after a comprehensive review.
