HTC Desire 510 Pro Reviews

Don't let the 64-bit processor fool you—the Android-based HTC Desire 510 on Boost Mobile under-delivers on most other fronts.

There are two things we outright don't like about the HTC Desire 510, and these happen to be its camera and display. The display is borderline unusable under direct sunlight, and the image looks washed out. A fixed-focus 5MP camera is very unimpressive in 2014, but its quality is absolutely disappointing. These things aside, the phone is a joy to use, because its comfortable and reliable. The Desire is nicely put together, and exceptionally speedy for an entry-level smartphone. HTC's Android interface remains one of the best out there in terms of look and feel, and the battery life is good. As a whole, the 510 is a decent entry-level smartphone to have, but we cannot recommend it. We'd rather have the Moto G or Lumia 635, because they offer better value for the money. And in the lowest spectrum of smartphones, our favorite remains the Moto E, because it has similar qualities, but is priced even lower.
