New Hands on:The HTC Desire 601 Review And Specs Mobileshippo

Hands on: HTC Desire 601 review

Want BoomSound and Zoes but without the expense?

By  
1 COMMENT
The HTC Desire 601 is another phone to confuse consumers who recognise the once-great name in a phone – but does it have hidden treasures below the numerical moniker?
The phone is one of those that fits into an invisible gap in the market: with the HTC One Mini and the Desire 500 already filling (or set to fill) the shelves of your local phone emporium, it's hard to see the appeal of the 601.
The design is, at least, fairly pleasant, with the rubberised polycarbonate shell surrounding the 4.5-inch qHD screen in a way that means it sits nicely in the hand. It feels comfortably mid-range; by that we mean the materials don't feel premium but it has a good balance to it so it doesn't give the sensation of a shoddy build.

HTC Desire 601 review

The raised volume keys are a nice addition too, making it much easier to raise the and lower the noise coming out of your device compared to the One. HTC's flagship phone might have been great-looking, but the flush volume rocker rankled some users thanks to it being hard to find without looking.
The Desire 601 option might be plastic, but at least the keys are discrete and much easier to locate with your eye-less digits.

HTC Desire 601 review

If you've used the HTC One or the One Mini then the Desire 601 will have a strange sense of familiarity to it, as it packs the BoomSound speakers on the front of the phone, although there's a feeling that the sound emanating isn't quite as powerful as we've seen on the One series.

HTC Desire 601 review

It's a decent feature to have on what will be a mid-range phone, so it's good to see that HTC is plugging away with its proprietary technology in phones other than the One range.
Beats Audio is also on board, and while this is more of a software addition (we couldn't find any trace of an amplifier specifically for the headphones to help with the sound flowing to your ears, although there is one in there 'to help with BoomSound') at the lower end of the market it's going to be a good option to help sell the device to the younger demographic that this phone is aimed at.

HTC Desire 601 review

In terms of using popular elements of the HTC One, we're glad to see BlinkFeed on offer as well for a range of news and social media feeds – if it weren't for the vastly different make up of the chassis, you wouldn't be able to tell the Desire 601 from the One, such is the similarity of the Sense 5.0 overlay.
However, it's interesting to note that despite coming with the HTC Image chip and being able to capture Zoes (and thus create video highlights using the 3.6-second clips captured in place of photos) there's no UltraPixel sensor on offer here.

HTC Desire 601 review

While the HTC One and One Mini have a 2.0µm pixel size sensor, there's only a 1.4µm option here, meaning that less light can get into the camera and therefore picture quality is lower.

HTC Desire 601 review

However, with a 5MP camera with an f2.0 aperture, the pictures shouldn't end up atrocious, and in our tests we found that the shutter speed was more than acceptable.
In terms of overall speed, the metrics here are two-fold: HTC is extolling the fact the Desire 601 is an affordable device that features a 4G chip inside, and while we couldn't test the next-generation speeds, it's good to see that the connectivity is permeating down to the lower end of the smartphone market.
However, in order to achieve that cost level, HTC has dropped the speed of the processor to a dual-core 1.4GHz Qualcomm 400 chip, combined with 1GB of RAM, which isn't as high-powered as the quad-core option found in the Desire 500.

HTC Desire 601 review

However, there doesn't seem to be an issue with speed when using the Desire 601, with every app we tested opening and closing quickly. There was a definite lack of snap compared to the larger One with regards to screen response, but we can understand the downgrade in search of a lower price point.
HTC refused to give an idea of how much we can expect the Desire 601 to retail for, neither on contract or in SIM free variants, but it should sit a tier or two below the HTC One Mini and thus be available at the more favourable end of the mid-range, with PAYG options likely to be palatable.

Early verdict

HTC is an odd company, in that it excels in making phones that can so easily sink below the radar of many consumers.
For a company that's pledged to make fewer phones, it's come out with a large amount this year thanks to the One, One Mini, Desire 500, Desire 601 and Desire 300 – plus the HTC One Max on its way too in all likelihood.
It's hard to see which consumers will plump for the Desire 601 unless it gets a huge marketing boost – there's still not enough appetite for 4G speeds on a mobile to make it the reason to buy a phone and that seems to be HTC's ploy.
It's certainly one that resonates with networks, and may serve to bring enough carrier spending to push the 601, but with so many similar phones on the market this could be a tough sell.
That said, 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 isn't a phone shorn of quality – so here's hoping it doesn't join the LegendIncredible S and One V on the 'do you remember those HTC phones? Whatever happened to them?' pile.

New BlackBerry Torch 9860 Review And Specs Mobileshippo

BlackBerry Torch 9860 review

Does RIM's first proper all-touch smartphone shine?


By  from TechRadar

PAGE 1 OF 14Overview and design
It's taken a ridiculously long time to come, but this is it. This is the one. After the clickable screen of the BlackBerry Storm 2 and the touchscreen-with-slide-out-keyboard shenanigans of the original BlackBerry Torch, RIM has finally released a proper touchscreen smartphone.
This 3.7-inch touchscreen the largest RIM has ever made, it's also the highest resolution, with a handy 480 x 800 pixels on display. Which is good, because you want the new BlackBerry OS 7 to look its best, don't you?
If you're stuck deciding between this and the two other recently released BlackBerry phones, never fear - we've got an enlightening group test to pit the Torch 9860, Torch 9810 and Bold 9900 against each other to see which takes your fancy:
Powering this is a single-core 1.2GHz processor, not dual-core like the 1.2GHz processor humming along in the Samsung Galaxy S2. RIM's opinion is that dual-core is only necessary for tablets as it stands.

BlackBerry torch 9860 review

That said, a single-core processor never did the iPhone 4 any harm. And since the BlackBerry Torch 9860 doesn't deal with HD 1080p video like many phones, including the LG Optimus 2X, have a whizzy 3D interface like the HTC Sensation, or do stereoscopic 3D images like the LG Optimus 3D, we suspect it'll get along fine with a single-core CPU for now.

BlackBerry torch 9860 review

There's 4GB of on-board storage, although you can't use this any way you'd like, as we'll explain in the Apps section of this review. You can add up to 32GB more storage via the microSD card slot, which will be handy if you want to take a lot of videos with the 720p HD recording that's now available.
For the old-fashioned among us, you can take still photos with the 5MP camera, and there's a pretty powerful LED flash.

BlackBerry torch 9860 review

The usual wireless accoutrements are featured, with 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi available, and 3G with a download speed of up to 14.4Mbps. Bluetooth is available, of course, as is cabling up with the micro USB connector.
The design of the BlackBerry Torch 9860 sits somewhere in between RIM's range and Samsung's Galaxy line. It's really quite appealing – sleek, but still obviously a BlackBerry.

BlackBerry torch 9860 review

Although it's mostly plastic – save for the metal back plate – there's no give in its build at all, and it feels high quality (although to call it premium might be being a bit generous).
Across the bottom are five physical buttons: Call, Menu, Select, Escape and End (which is also the power button).

BlackBerry torch 9860 review

The middle Select button is also an optical trackpad, which might seem odd to have in an all-touch device, but you'll see why it's there in the Interface section of this review.

BlackBerry torch 9860 review

On the left-hand side of the device is the micro USB port, while the right side houses the volume controls and mute key, and the lone Convenience key.
There's a new design for these that makes them very subtle, but still easy to press. The 3.5mm jack is also on this side, which isn't massively convenient (we really prefer to have it on the top or bottom).

BlackBerry torch 9860 review

The top of the handset is the Lock button, while notification-light addicts will find this in its usual spot.
The back of the BlackBerry Torch 9860 features the 5MP camera's lens, and the LED flash. The metal backplate has a slightly matt feel to it that – combined with the overall shape and svelte profile – makes the phone very comfortable to hold.

BlackBerry torch 9860 review

The Torch 9860 actually measures in at 120 x 62 x 11.5mm, making it ever so slightly larger than an iPhone 4 across the board. At 135g, it's fairly middle ground when it comes to weight, too.
The BlackBerry Torch 9860 will be available free on contract for around £36 per month.

For the old-fashioned among us, you can take still photos with the 5MP camera, and there's a pretty powerful LED flash.

BlackBerry torch 9860 review

The usual wireless accoutrements are featured, with 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi available, and 3G with a download speed of up to 14.4Mbps. Bluetooth is available, of course, as is cabling up with the micro USB connector.
The design of the BlackBerry Torch 9860 sits somewhere in between RIM's range and Samsung's Galaxy line. It's really quite appealing – sleek, but still obviously a BlackBerry.

Although it's mostly plastic – save for the metal back plate – there's no give in its build at all, and it feels high quality (although to call it premium might be being a bit generous).
Across the bottom are five physical buttons: Call, Menu, Select, Escape and End (which is also the power button).

The middle Select button is also an optical trackpad, which might seem odd to have in an all-touch device, but you'll see why it's there in the Interface section of this review.

On the left-hand side of the device is the micro USB port, while the right side houses the volume controls and mute key, and the lone Convenience key.
There's a new design for these that makes them very subtle, but still easy to press. The 3.5mm jack is also on this side, which isn't massively convenient (we really prefer to have it on the top or bottom).

The top of the handset is the Lock button, while notification-light addicts will find this in its usual spot.
The back of the BlackBerry Torch 9860 features the 5MP camera's lens, and the LED flash. The metal backplate has a slightly matt feel to it that – combined with the overall shape and svelte profile – makes the phone very comfortable to hold.

The Torch 9860 actually measures in at 120 x 62 x 11.5mm, making it ever so slightly larger than an iPhone 4 across the board. At 135g, it's fairly middle ground when it comes to weight, too.
The BlackBerry Torch 9860 will be available free on contract for around £36 per month.
