Android version and market relevance

Announcement! We need more new products from HTC. This time these guys announced HTC Rhyme. This is a smartphone on Android 2.3 Gingerbread in 2011.

More detailed characteristics of this smartphone you can see below on the page, and in short we will describe the most important of them. So, firstly, this model receives an update to the version Android 4. And, secondly, HTC Rhyme unfortunately, it does not support two SIM cards. Therefore, we advise you to look in the catalog all smartphones with 2 sim cards from different manufacturers, not only from HTC. Next about the screen, the camera and the processor with memory.

Screen, body and battery

Small 3.7-inch screen, made by technology S-LCD, installed in the smartphone HTC Rhyme.

The larger the screen, the larger the case. But in addition to the width and height of the hull, its thickness is important. At HTC Rhyme the thickness of the case is 10.9 mm, which turns out to be very thick. Today, there are many smartphones with a slim body.

The battery and the operating time also depend on the screen size. At HTC Rhyme installed battery for 1 600 mAh, and, as you can guess, it will not last long. We advise you to look in the catalog on smartphones with a powerful battery, there is a good choice from different manufacturers.

Main camera and selfie camera

There is an ordinary non-dual camera installed on 5 MP, located on the back of your smartphone.

And on the front of the smartphone we see a camera on 0.3 MP. Today this is a weak camera. If you are looking for a good camera phone to take pictures of yourself, then be sure to look selfie smartphones in our catalog.

Processor and Internal Memory

Smartphone HTC Rhyme received a 1-core processor Snapdragon S2, RAM 0.768 GB and built-in memory 4 GB. Also there is support for memory cards microSD up to 32 GB.

Price for HTC Rhyme: buy or not to buy?

The smartphone HTC Rhyme got into our price segment “Affordable smartphones from $100 to $200” and began to be sold in October 2011 at a price of $140. Evaluation of the characteristics, probably, you have already folded, and if not, here is our result. HTC Rhyme is not a very fast smartphone with a small screen and a conventional main camera, and the front camera did not turn out super cool. And to all this we add that the battery, unfortunately, is weak here.

Is it worth buying now this model of the smartphone, we are talking about our status “Droid-or-Junk”. Of course, at the beginning of sales, almost every smartphone becomes a Droid, and we advise buying such models. But over time, the situation is changing, no one updates the Android version in the smartphone, and in six months or a year this smartphone can already become a Junk. In this case, we advise you to go to the DROID smartphones page in our catalog, where we always show the most current models on sale for today. There are variants from different price segments, so you will have plenty to choose from.
