HTC Desire 530 UK SIM-Free Smartphone - Solid White

Brilliant phone for the money , had an iPhone previously , bought this one as my iPhone was broke; can't ask for anything better , the phone looks sleek and expensive, big enough but not too big , maybe about the size of the new iPhones. Camera is great , display is very clear , easy to navigate , good keyboard , pretty quick , good for my fitbit, all in all a great phone , would recommend! No point in paying 500 pound for a phone that does the same thing.

This HTC Desire phone arrived and would not turn on. The phone was tossed in the bin as it was unusable but the company did give a full refund with no problems.

This is a great phone for a decent price. My only complaints are the size (it's just that little bit too big to keep in your pocket comfortably) - but it does fit well in the hand and is comfortable to use one handed- and the insistence of HTC sense. I do not want to use sense and have it turned off but I still get notifications asking me to turn it on for various reasons. That's annoying but i can live with it. Its a nice looking phone with smooth, rounded edges and a nice feel in the hand. The screen is big enough to accommodate a large keyboard for those who have difficulty with smaller builds and the graphic capabilities coupled with this big screen make games and videos look pretty stunning for viewing on a phone. The sound is also impressive- something HTC is known for. With or without headphones, sound is clear and clean. Excellent for listening to music, podcasts, audio books, radio, you name it; music is just as clear as vocals and doesn't sounds at all tinny like most phone speakers. In terms of being user friendly this phone is brilliant. Everything is easy to access and understand. I've had a HTC in the past and traded it for a Samsung. Big mistake. Having come back to HTC I don't think I'll be going back again. Everything is smooth and operates quickly with no fuss. Switching between apps is easy and pain free unlike some other phones which slow up with the effort. Overall I am really happy with this phone and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a high quality phone on a mid-range budget.

I ordered this phone as it looked just what I wanted. Only afterwards did I go online and read the reviews. they were so negative I decided to cancel the order. Amazon said to refuse it but I did not as I did not realise it was the phone being two days early. So I looked at this little phone and it is terrific not so little either a 5" screen with clear bright colours, not amoled but not at all dull either. It does not lag and the camera is excellent (not full featured like a top of the range but very adequate) It is responsive and has nice to handle. The sound is very good. I was coming down from a high end Galaxy for financial reasons and this phone is everything I need. I am not a gamer but use it for most other stuff and would totally recommend it to anyone.

To date I have been using this phone for only a few days. So far is seems to be a lovely phone, and it appears to be retaining its charge. I am pleased with the display and also with the support that the company who supplied it to me have provided

seems to be a good buy so far other than the annoying dictionary when texting it doesnt't recognised just about any word in the English language,, not a major issue but annoying non the less

After using iPhones for years, I decided to change to this HTC Desire. Like all phones, it has good and bad points. I like the look of it apart from the cheap red plastic power button. It is a nice size and weight and has a good layout and is easy to use. It's battery life isn't the best. Probably 12-15 hours on a full charge. I also find the keyboard a bit small and it's easy to press the wrong buttons when typing.

This is possibly the worst phone I've ever had. Slow, laggy, keeps closing running apps like spotify when it's the only thing running. I mean a simple app like facebook takes about 10-20 seconds to load up. Considering the performance of other phones you could get at this price this is a disgrace. 1/10 would not buy ever again. I cannot find a positive thing to say about it.
