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...

Affordable. Runs Android 4.4.

Subpar display. Paltry built-in storage.

Conclusions Choices are far more limited on Boost Mobile than Sprint, but that doesn't do much to help the HTC Desire 510's cause. It's disappointing by nearly every measure, even if it only commands $100 off contract. Stepping down to $79 gets you a...

Affordable. Runs Android 4.4.

Subpar display. Paltry built-in storage.

Camera and Conclusions Like the lackluster display, the 5-megapixel rear-facing camera on the Desire 510 is a letdown. It harkens back to feature phone quality, with shots that verge on Impressionistic even in good outdoor light. Details are severely...

The HTC Desire 510 is a good 4.7-inch smartphone which isn't really missing any features despite the low MSRP of 200 Euros (~$250). Equipped with a quad-core SoC and Android 4.4.3, the Desire 510 offers good overall performance and a decent gaming...

Dual-purpose case protects your HTC Desire 510 while providing updates and call alerts. Check the weather, get email notices and take incoming calls even while closed. Change your style with the HTC Dot View. Available in four colours: blue, grey, red...

Fast performance ; HTC Sense 6 is an excellent interface ; Solid build

Poor camera ; Dismal display ; No LED light

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...

The HTC Desire 510 is a likeable smartphone. It's cheap, looks nice, and offers the benefits of a large screen, responsive performance and long battery life.

While most of our attention here at Android Central goes to exciting new high-end devices, the entry and mid-range market has become ever more interesting over the past year, as manufacturers work to bring decent specs and user experiences to millions...

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.
