Speedy operating system ; Low cost 4G ; Good battery life

Limited internal storage ; Screen is not amazing ; Poor camera

Fast 4G network speeds for a bargain price is pretty tempting, but the HTC Desire 510 isn't quite as desirable as its name suggests thanks to some budget compromises, especially in the screen and camera.

The HTC Desire 510 has 4G LTE, simple to use Android KitKat software, a capable processor and battery. For all that, its price tag is extremely reasonable.

Building a really great non-flagship phone is all about making compromises in the right places. Motorola got the formula spot on with the original Moto G and unfortunately HTC seem to have missed the mark both on the Desire 610 and the Desire 510. The...

4.7" FWVGA capacitive touchscreen, 208ppi ; Android 4.4.2 KitKat with HTC Sense 6 ; 1.2GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU; 1GB of RAM; Adreno 306 GPU; Snapdragon 410 chipset ; LTE connectivity ; 5MP fixed-focus camera, HTC Zoe mode ; 1080p video capture,...

Low screen resolution with low ppi ratio ; Fixed-focus camera ; No LED flash ; MicroSD slot isn't hot-swappable ; Thick and heavy (1cm and 158g)

The HTC Desire 510 is the kind of phone that's likely to be in high demand for a good while. Perhaps not the device itself, which will soon start dealing with growing competition, but the very concept of an affordable phone with the fastest network...
