HTC has recently launched their all new Android based smartphone HTC Desire C in India at an unexpected price of Rs. 14,000. HTC Desire C also features the same GUI (Graphical User Interface) HTC Sense 4.0 as it is present in the smartphones of their One series. As far as hardware is concerned HTC Desire C is a big flop. It is powered by an age old mediocre 600 MHz processor which was used in earlier generation of smartphones. 1GHz is the norm today and most of the applications and games actively require high clocks to run smoothly. Also there is no GPU present in this phone to process graphical requirements of the application and particularly games.
And because of the mediocre hardware present in HTC Desire C, i will not recommend any one to purchase this phone. Instead buy Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini at Rs. 9,500 which has a 1 GHz CPU and a dedicated Adreno GPU for best gaming experience. Xperia mini is also upgradable to latest Android ICS 4.0.
