Htc Desire 500 Ruu Htc
Introduction
Desire has long been the signature of the company's tier-2 lineup. With past offerings varying from capable midrangers all the way down to entry level, going for a smartphone bearing the Desire moniker has largely been a hit-or-miss affair.
The Desire 500 is HTC's latest attempt to ride the middle road between features and price, and it is the modern day equivalent of the HTC Desire X released late last year. The other way to look at it is as the more affordable alternative of the Desire 600 dual SIM, which we reviewed a while ago. That said, the one we're dealing with is the single-SIM flavor of the HTC Desire 500, but there is a dial SIM variant, too.

Although you won't find some of the latest bells and whistles on the Desire 500 - like an IR-port or a 1080p display - what you will get is solid quad-core performance alongside the company's latest Sense UI 5.0. Here's a quick rundown of the device's key strengths and most notable weaknesses:
Key features
- Quad-band 2G and dual-band 3G support
- 4.3' 480 x 800 pixel TFT capacitive touchscreen with 217ppi
- Android OS v4.2.2 Jelly Bean with Sense UI 5.0
- Qualcomm MSM 8225Q Snapdragon 200: quad-core 1.2GHz Cortex-A5, 1 GB RAM, Adreno 203 GPU
- 8 MP autofocus camera with 1/3.2' sensor size, 1.4µm pixel size; LED flash
- 720p video recording @ 24fps with stereo audio, slow-motion video
- 1.6MP front-facing camera, 720p video recording
- Wi-Fi b/g/n, DLNA
- GPS with A-GPS
- 4GB of built-in storage
- microSD card slot
- Bluetooth v4.0
- Standard 3.5 mm audio jack
- Accelerometer and proximity sensor
- FM Radio
Main disadvantages
- WVGA screen resolution
- Not the most powerful of chipsets
- Disappointing stills and video, no Full HD video recording
- No active noise cancellation for voicecalls
- Poor video codec support out of the box
- Limited inbuilt storage, only 1GB available to the user
The Desire 500 may not be a sports car, but the quad-core 1.2GHz processor would mean it should be a nice cruiser - and most people are after that in a midranger. The display resolution is not up there with the best on the positive side, the graphical sub-system doesn't have to draw as many pixels on the screen so this may even help with performance. Also impressive on paper are the camera capabilities, which despite not being able to handle 1080p, include 720p and slow-motion videos. As an added bonus the front-facing camera shoots in 720p as well.
