this test just brags about how better the high-end quality phones are, and how the desire 500 sucks, compared to them. the whole test is garbage. i would do another one and be ahamed of myself if i were you...

      I love vertical scrolling on apps drawer. It feels so futuristic

        There is one thing worrying me here: the "glass slapped on top of the plastic" design is a recipe for disaster - one unfortunate face-down drop will most likely result in a cracked screen and a ton of stress.

            rex, 01 Oct 2013i dont know why i cant work with any other brand except htc..it bring best plasure of using an... moreSense 5 ui is quite dull and boring.The application drawer with vertical scrolling is also inconvinient. Sense 4 looks better and it has side ways scrolling for app drawer too.

              Cant believe they are planning to push this crappy phone for Rs20,000. HTC, you are NOT Apple, you cannot fool the customers the way they do.. No one is anyone going to buy your phones when there are superior phones from Sony and Samsung and LG which are way cheaper.
              1GB internal memory with no Apps to SD..Wow tell me how the stock Android is inferior to Sense UI ? Android at stock allows Apps to SD, so basically the addition of Sense UI killed the phone.
              Oh there are other things that killed it too. Bad battery, weaker than Rs9000 phones in performance, pathetic camera......i could go on...basically all the crappy demerits of other HTC phones (except HTC ONE which is actually good)

                The benchmark performance is way to lower than mediatek quad chipsets which are priced way too lower than this phone

                            At least the camera doesnt suck, thats good. But ONE GIG available storage, come on?? At this price it doesnt make Sense at all, it would be ok if it was a cheap China phone, they are so good in installing apps to SD card anyway.

                            Camera may be a problem but CPU, GPU and storage says Xperia L is a much better choice, AND its cheaper.

                              What a crap for around Rs 20,000, Xperia M is way better and performs well even with a dual core CPU......

                                HTC is so pathetic.

                                  In PR China, phones like this with Snapdragon MSM8225Q have price under 500 yuan (like Lenovo A760, ZTE V956). Pathetic by HTC.

                                    I didn't like the front, especially the lower portion. Looks little ugly. I would go for Galaxy Core instead. That looks just fine and comes cheaper as well.

                                      Xperia L has dual core Krait and is much stronger in both cpu and gpu
