HTC Exodus 1

Overview HTC Exodus 1

Android version and market relevance

The company HTC in October 2018 officially announced its new smartphone HTC Exodus 1 in the series of mobile devices HTC Exodus. In our subjective opinion, this year one of the important parameters for smartphones has become support for 5G networks, and this new model, unfortunately, it did not receive such an opportunity and will not be able to work in 5G networks. Therefore, if this is important to you, then go to our page in the catalog where all 5G smartphones are assembled.

“Out of the box” on the new smartphone installed Android 8.1 Oreo, which did not receive any version updates. And besides, it is important to note immediately that the model HTC Exodus 1 supports two SIM cards (view all smartphones with 2 sim cards in the catalog).

Screen, body and battery

6-inch Super LCD6 touchscreen occupies almost the entire area of the front panel of the smartphone HTC Exodus 1.. Body thickness 8.7 mm puts the battery in it in capacity 3 500 mAh. As a result, these three important characteristics give us such an idea of the device — huge smartphone with very thick case and average battery.

The case of the smartphone is completely protected from water and dust. This model could become a flip smartphone and get into our catalog on a separate page, where all phones with flexible screens are collected. Unfortunately, this did not happen. And therefore, if you are interested in smartphones with such top-end characteristics, we advise you to look at them in our catalog and get a deeper understanding in which direction the entire mobile electronics industry is moving. Perhaps, in a couple of years, every second person on the planet will have such flip smartphones.

Main camera and selfie camera

The main camera has several modules (dual camera smartphones): 12 MP with a regular lens + 16 MP with a regular lens and, as usual, it is located on the back of the smartphone. When a smartphone camera has multiple lenses, it allows zooming with high image quality. You can also take photos with the Bokeh effect. This is an effect where the background is blurred and the subject in the foreground stands out very nicely. It’s better to see it once than hear about it a hundred times, so look at examples of photos from this smartphone. The frontcamera at HTC Exodus 1 has several modules (smartphones with dual selfie cameras): 8 MP with a regular lens + 8 MP with a regular lens. And this, of course, is not much. There are smartphones with a good selfie-camera. This model has a front camera as usual at the top of the screen, like 99.9% of all smartphones. But, if this makes you bored, then we can offer smartphones with pop-up front camera. In these models, the front camera is located inside the body and goes up only when you activate the front camera mode. It sounds interesting, but how convenient it is and how long this mechanism will work is not yet clear.

Processor and Internal Memory

The smartphone performance is affected by a lot of factors, and even more so on the android-smartphone, where the developer of the Android operating system and the device manufacturer are absolutely different companies and each develops with its strategy in the market. As a result, in the smartphone you get a hodgepodge: it′s like a “clean” Android, but with a shell from the manufacturer; as though only the necessary applications, but also many unnecessary from the manufacturer. Very often Android-installed apps by default, which you do not even use, are still running and working, they occupy part of the RAM and processor time of your smartphone. This slows the work of other applications and the battery charge is wasted.

So, in HTC Exodus 1 is installed 8-core processor on the chipset Snapdragon 845. As for RAM, the memory module is used here 6 GB.

You can store your photos, videos, music and applications only on the built-in smartphone memory, because the support for memory cards is not implemented here. You are only available 128 GB built-in memory, so you need to be more careful about what you store on the device.

Price for HTC Exodus 1: buy or not to buy?

Life is fleeting, and the life of a smartphone on the mobile market in general can be compared with the life of a butterfly. And all because the producers of android-smartphones do not always want to support their devices and prefer to release a new model in six months. Therefore, our task is to help you choose the actual smartphone today, which is being sold and will be still relevant for at least the next six months. If HTC Exodus 1 you find among DROID smartphones in our catalog, you can safely buy it now, and if you do not find it, then its better already do not buy.

However, official sales HTC Exodus 1 began in December 2018. The manufacturer said the price of $245 without taxes and fees. With such a price level on HTC Exodus 1, we placed it in the price segment “Below average smartphones from $200 to $300”.

Buy HTC Exodus 1 you can in any store (or on the Internet, or in the electronics supermarket), we just advise you to see live on the smartphone and hold it in your hands before buying.
