Product Review: HTC Desire 21 Pro 5G
Overall Score: 3.0/5
Review Overview:
The HTC Desire 21 Pro 5G is a mid-range smartphone that boasts a variety of impressive features. It is a solid device that offers good performance, a decent camera, and a good battery life, all at a reasonable price point. However, it does have some shortcomings that may not be suitable for all users.
Price: 4/5
The Desire 21 Pro 5G is priced more affordably compared to other 5G enabled smartphones in the market. It offers good value for the money, especially considering the features and performance it delivers. However, there are other brands in the market that offer similar specs at a lower price, which might be a drawback for some users.
Camera: 3.5/5
The Desire 21 Pro 5G is equipped with a quad-lens setup at the rear, featuring a 48MP main sensor. It takes decent photos with good color reproduction and detail in well-lit environments. However, the performance in low-light conditions is average and it lacks some advanced features like night mode. The front camera is also decent for selfies and video calls, but again, nothing exceptional.
Power: 4/5
Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 690 5G chipset, the phone offers reliable performance for everyday tasks and can handle casual gaming. However, it might struggle a bit when it comes to intensive gaming or heavy multitasking. The 8GB of RAM is a plus, providing smooth app transitions and multitasking.
