HTC Desire 300 is a mid-range smartphone with plastic body and 4.3” display. It has a beautiful design and, despite the plastic material, it doesn’t look fragile. In fact, the phone is pretty comfortable to hold. Its 4.3″ screen has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels (217 ppi pixel density). It has good brightness and contrast. It’s not too special, but the visual is fairly satisfactory for daili use. The responsive touchscreen makes navigation even easier.
HTC Desire 300 comes with Android OS v4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) inside. A dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A5 processor works along with Adreno 203 GPU and 512 MB of RAM to power the phone. You can’t expect superb performance from the Desire 300, but it’s quite reliable in handling simple tasks. Apps can load properly and you can switch menus without any serious lag. HTC Desire 300 provides limited space to store you files. You can only have 4 GB of internal storage. Fortunately, you can add extra space by using external memory card (up to 32 GB). The Desire 300 has a modest 5 MP camera on the back of its body. It features autofocus, Geo-tagging, touch focus, face detection, and video recording capability (WVGA@30fps). The front-facing camera is a very good addition for a mid-range smartphone. You can use it to take selfies or make video calls.
