  • It is the worst phone ever made by htc.i hv been using htc since its launch in india. but would like to say desire 501 really did not even get close to my expectations.the phone suddenly hangs all the time,too slow to install or play any games. many times cannot even handle intetnal apps well freezes all the time.takes almost 5 mins to open watsapp..moreover no update since release. overall i would say really disappointing work by htc.

  • New version ..outlay version

  • New version ..outlay version

  • i have a htc desire 501 dual sim smartphone. sometimes it leaves signals and doesnt automatic reconnect to the network. i used to thought that its a network problem. but when i checked same network sim in another brand mobile at same time, i found that signal reception is okay in that mobile and htc is leaving signal at same time. i dont know why am i facing this issue. whether its a particular handset problem/hardware or software problem or what? but its annoying. other than this its a great mobile.

  • I bought this phone in feb 2014. Since the day i faced many problem in this phone. Ultimately on the January 25, 2015 phone failed in many function. I submitted phone to service centre kamla nagar New Delhi against promice of return in 7 days bcoz parts was not reddy in centre. from 6 feb 2015 customer care service took time from me gradualy like pls give 24 hrs or 48 hrs in this way they took extention almost 8 to 9 time in this process they made fake promices. now they are saying with shamelessly pls wait till 9 march. very very very bad company and very very very bad customer care service.

  • Obviously u can do while calling....:D

  • I want update

  • I want update

  • It's a great phone. I love it. But it hangs a lot. Seriously too slow. It's got great features but low performance. Moreover, you can't do anything while you are calling. In other phones you can minimise calls and run other apps while talking. Also, sometimes, when the phone turns off due to low battery, when I charge it, and turn it on during charging, then unplug the charger, still the phone shows charging. Weird!!!

  • My phone is not working. System crash error report is coming pls suggest.

  • Dear Readers This mobile worked fantastic for the first 3 months. There after terrible problems with the device and its accessories too. In 10 months it has been to the services center thrice and four time the data cable and hands-free has bee replaced. HTC has the worst services and major of the cities has only collection centers. Nearly 45 days I have been without mobile. Go of a China made rater going to HTC

  • @ Karthik I have noticed that it takes two minutes per percentage point for battery to be fully charged. For example, if your battery is at 60%, i.e. 40% remaining, it will take 80 minutes to charge to 100%.

  • Dear htc thanks for making a good smartphone. this a complete phone in its price range. It doesn't have any major disadvantage and provides mostly all features in its price range. I know that nothing is perfect, including smartphones. this phone also have some problems which can be short out. 1.it doesn't show complete Hindi language. it cuts some part of sentence from right side. 2. there is no inbuilt file manager and equalizer. 3. after a minor update, its primary camera doesn't shot sharp photos as it used to shot when before update. please correct these shortcoming by a software update and I am ready to purchase your next upgrade. I am not demanding kitkat or lollipop update, just sort out these problems and I will be your AC.

  • did any1 used matte antiglare screen gaurd on it...if thn how it looks n what are the pros & cons...& from where u bought nd which company?

  • hTC desire 501-Wow 8MP Cam and front 2.1 ..with 16GB variant. hTC 700,601 doesnt provide above feature .But 501 is a dual core

  • lg l90's 4.7 inch display with qhd resolution is nice...but considering htc..it has got a better quality eventhouh less ppi(217)..at the same time for a normal user dual core or quad core dont matter much...apps and most games can be played without any lag...it has got one of best 8mp camera better than l90.it has got all sensors and nfc along with dlna features.l90 doesnt have nfc and dlna also it misses auto brightness.l90 have got kitkat with knock code which is amazing and a good battery...thats all with l90. desire 501 eventhough older version of android and sense ui works like charm for normal usage. in my opinion blinkfeed on new sense is somewhat useless..i would go for 501 considering it is an htc and it might get a future updates....not sure about updates

  • Do you about internals of htc desire 501 like cpu. HTC is, even today, a relatively small player in the smartphone industry. Other than big countries and cities, people dont recognize the brandname, unlike sony, samsung and nokia.The Taiwanese company is adding new chipset partners to supply chipsets beside Qualcomm.The new HTC chip suppliers include Spreadtrum, Broadcom and ST Ericsson due to low cost.The new HTC Desire 501, for example, has a 1.15GHz dual-core ST Ericsson U8520 processor powering it, while the Desire 601 uses a 1.2GHz quad-core Broadcom Java SoC. The Desire 700, carries a 1.2GHz quad-core Spreadtrum Shark chip, leaving only the Desire 300 on regular Qualcomm's 1GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4. However, HTC is actually using this new opportunity not to offer lower prices, but rather to increase margins, a strategy that's risky. Now lets talk about 501 which currently being used by me.The smartphone runs on Android 4.1 Jelly bean with Sense 4.0+ on top. The OS has a nice feel. However, the UI is not quite responsive as you would expect. There is a slightly delayed response sometimes. .Same goes with multitasking, the UI lags occassionaly. The device performs pretty good when it comes to the usual daily usage. Gaming experience was decent with Asphalt 8 running fine, though at highest video settings, it struggles. Coming to the battery performance, the Desire 501 Dual SIM packs a 2100mAh battery which can last at least one day of normal usage.Though I personally felt that the phone takes a long time to reach full charge. PROS Beats audio Feels solid in hand 8GB in-built memory and card slot Both Cameras are surprisingly good Battery backup fares well CONS Slightly overpriced Battery takes time to charge Graphics performance isn't up to mark

  • Hi HTC 501 users, Could u suggest me to choose among HTC desire 501 vs samsung s4 mini vs moto G. I like to have a good camera and good performance for multi tasking. how about screen visibility and battery.

  • No...it doesn't hang while playing heavy games neither hangs in net surfing nor in normal usage.. It doesn't hang at all...i played games like asphalt 7 n 8...FIFA..RF2012..TEMPLE RUN 2 N OZ....BLOOD N GLORY... DEAD TRIGGER 2... its very smooth... But if u have used smartphones of rs.25000 or more than u may feel like its a little slow..but its superb for midrange users... In 8 gb u ll get around 5.40 gb which is more than enough.. And yes it's also available with 16 gb internal storage but i have chosen the 8 gb...

  • does this mobile available with 16gb internal memory and if it is 8gb how much will get for the user available memory please reply me soon guys

  • guys i am planning to buy this mobile does it preferable to buy please reply me guys i am waiting for ur repls

  • we can use 3g only in sim1, other one only 2g support gsm only

  • Hey friend, i was very upset with mmi code cancelled error on this. But mmi code error has been solved with second update version1.40.707.7 I didnt get about your flash message problem. I never faced such issue using bsnl and aircel. You are absolutely correct about hindi language reading problem as we cant read full text. I thought this was a app based problem but it seems its a phone software issue. The software of this phone dont justify its price, but features are good. Hope for a proper software update. Even less price bracket phones have higher android versions than this have bcoz their OSes are light skinned. 501 consumes about 4gb storage and around 500 mb or more ram out of 846 mb total available. Even then its not without lags Htc do something as you did for mmi error. We dont need heavy skin, just provide quality hardware and let the google handle software completely. Hope you listen. Afterall you have (heavy) SENSE.

  • ITS the best phone worth buying it

  • The phone is good and value for money but there is a one big software issue in HTC 501 dual, i.e. there is no option to turn off flash sms/cell information/location information/broadcasting sms. I am using Vodafone and Aircel in two slots. So in 1 hour the phone is receiving at about 50-60 flash SMSs automatically. Even HTC CustomerCare can not solve this prob. So I am looking for their next software update....

  • My brother got this phone...its working good..i also want to buy a phone ...but i am confused between HTC Desire 501 dual and LG L90 dual...plz suggest me anyone...which is better??

  • Hi...friends...I don't know,why your phone can't run games smoothly...but my Desire 501 is awesome...I played hd games like asphalt8,FIFA,blood & glory,temple run oz,deer hunter, & normal games like temple run 2,subway surfer,buggy racing,and each & every games ran smoothly...earlier I used grand & played games on it also....n grand was not bad in playing games but the screen quality of grand was not good so I didn't liked to play games on it....but the Desire 501 is really a very good and stylish phone

  • Overall,ok.rate 8/10..i only have problem with my front camera..sometimes it doesnt save the picture that has been taken..i have to try it many times.

  • Bro its touch screen work very smoothly.....

  • Now 1 month with this cool handset. Hardware is great but software is not upto the mark. Even with beats audio they didn't provided eqalizer. Anyway sound is great. Also installed a file manager. I had to decide between grand, quattro and c. Luckly i choose this baby for its right size and music. I will rate 8.2/10 for this. -1.8 is just for software issues. Sense 4.1+ is fast but heavey os unlike sony's. Even samsung grand with same hardware runs games more smooth than this. I play subway surfars and jetpack joyride type medium games still they run with lags. Even though it shows 300+ mb free ram. is this really a 1.15 dual core with 1 gb ram and mali 400 gpu. Oh man, my old arc s 1.4 ghz single core with 512 ram handled these games easily. My pc with one gb ram runs smooth(lol).it occasionally closes the browser itself and 2 times till now it restarted itself. Great hardware with messy software. If software improves like android v4.3 or 4.4 with light customizaton, it is easily best smartphone in its class. Htc, are you listening.

  • worst battery my 501 doesn't even get 12hrs also installed battery doctor used in super saving mode but no use. And takes 3-4hrs to charge from 0-100%

Can't play 1080p videos, just 720p, 4.1 only;no planned 4.4 update Verdict:-Music lovers are invited, sound in headphone is loud and clear than those samsung, LG sony etc.others go for alternatives or wait until cons are sort-out Hope this is helpful

  • yes it has

  • Ujjal my Friend,I read the page but there is no sign of st u8520.Infact I had seen my Desire 501's chipset information in the device information of antutu benchmark...so I am a little worried about the chipset...please check yours in the benchmarks and inform me

  • bt the cost of single sim phone is high compare to dual sim,WHY?? Nd i also heard tht dual sim phone's camera have some problms... is it true or not??

  • Welcome Abhimanyu! There are 3 colors in the market: Choco Brown, Lemon Green and some blue (don't remember the name exactly) If you like light colors go for the choco brown one. The green one is a little annoying with the designs. The blue one is ok if you like dark colors. The waves dont appear for me. Not sure whether it is a hardware issue. The waves appear whenever there is a magnetic interference. Keep away from microwaves and other radiation emmiting objects. Not sure how much the retailers are offering you the set at, but try ebay. The prices have been slashed there.

  • I have the same issue. Is this common for everyone? I thought I had a defective set.

Also is the waves issue as mentioned below in camera video recording a genuine case..?? I have been waiting to get it from the Sangeetha Mobile store for over a month now, as it is providing me a good deal.

  • When will gsmarena review Desire 501. 1. How is the.music quality? 2. Wat abt CPU, gpu, chipset used? 3. Camera? Expecting a deatiled review

  • Ebay has it. I would suggest not to buy it online. It will cost you more. I bought it from a retailer at 15.5K. Online it is priced at 17K+

  • If your budget is within 16K, then there is no better phone in the market. If you have questions about hanging then all android phones hang. Try using the task killer to eliminate the apps running in the background. If you dont, the phone will hang and will reduce the performance. Second, the processor is not old, the UI is. It is running HTC Sense 4 instead of 5. Trust me version 4 is more attractive than version 5

  • Yes

  • Go for HTC. Battery and camera quality is way better than Sony. Sound quality is equal for both the phones. HTC has beats audio enhancement, whereas Sony has it's homegrown audio enhancements. But, HTC has better in-ear sound quality.

  • What do you exactly mean by "HD phone"? are you talking about the display or the video playback functionality?

  • I have the choco brown one. Once the accesories are available you would be able to purchase a different back cover

  • Yes soumya, both are different. 501 is only single sim.

  • I've got HTC Desire 501 dual SIM for INR 16000/- which is far batter than iPhone 4 (Re-launched in India for INR 23000/-). Here is why; It has inbuilt 8GB and 32GB Memory-card, Dual Core 1.2, 1GB RAM, USB Pend-rive storage support, 4.3" screen, Better look, user replaceable 2100 MHz battery, burst mode photography, HTC Media Link and NFC support, Face unlock, and it is dual active phone! yes you can receive call on both SIM at same time. Still saved INR 7000/- !!! (for iPhone fan-boys; I have used iPhone also so know it's pros and cons)

  • too bad it has microphone problem

  • it has speaker problem of calls how to solve it

  • superbe phone..rocks..feel free to purchase..i have 2 pcs.green and blue.best thing of this mobile is it has a dual active.while all brand like samsung they have a dual stand bye and auto forword. it is chargeble.again nice phone.thanks htc.

  • incoming call speaker problem

  • My microphone stopped working during the 1st call. the other side only hears noises when I speak (regardless of what I say :-)) Anyone experienced this? can't record either.

  • I believe unlike direct video calling provided in all of the Samsung mobiles it's not possible here. we will have to do it through Skype/viber etc.. & wifi direct is possible only in htc mobiles domain, you cannot use this for other mobiles through htc . Samsung scores better wrt features. I'm still trying to know more about DLNA in htc. Sometimes it gives me feeling that buying htc, nokia, sony is such a sheer waste of money. Samsung gives all features at a reasonable price. Use it for 1-2 years get over with it & upgrade to a new one.

  • which colour do you buy buddy?

  • Using this phone for the last 18 days. No complaints yet. Camera quality is very good given the price range. Best feature is the OTG funtionality. GSMARENA please change the availability to "released". It is widely available in the market now.

  • Yep..its 8mp cam is great and records great videos...and its 2.1mp front cam is also capable of recording hd videos as well...m not sure about its hd gaming performance..but I think it would be decent enough in playing heavy games...bcoz I tested nenamark2 and it scored 48fps which is a good score overall..it has a unique feature ie.face unlock which unlocks the screen after recognizing your face...check my YouTube video tomorrow where I ll review it

  • android 4.1.. :(

  • Thanks Harry. Now m gonna buy this phone. You really can't expect good battery backup with Android that too dual-sim active. We have to compromise somehow with some features with the company offering so much at this low cost of 16k.

  • Good performance, good gaming experience, but average battery backup

  • Can someone please tell me, How is the gaming experience with this phone. Does Temple Run and Subway Surf run smoothly?

  • Battery performance of Desire 501 is better than Desire 500... but i recommend u for Desire 500... as it is quite better ..overall...

  • Sense 4 app drawer layout looks awesome.Sense 5 app drawer is dull and boring as android stock UI. Compare them now!.The first two are shots of Sense 4.

  • Have you compared the app drawer layout of sense 4 which has nicely contoured icons and three beautiful green/blue colored tabs for All,Frequent and Downloads,with that of sense 5.Sense 4 layout looks awesome.Sense 5 app drawer layout looks almost similar to stock android UI layout and is dull and boring. So I dont like to buy the latest htc phones which has sense 5 UI.I will wait for sense 6 if it looks better or as good as sense 4, I'll buy that htc phone with the best design and specs.If sense 6 layout doesnt look better than sense 4, I'll buy HTC One X/X Plus or Butterfly which are the high speced phones having sense 4 UI. Click the links to compare it now!

  • hey...do u hav dis cell....how much it cost....n does it hang

  • Htc desire 501 available in India now around 16,000.Only lemon green colour availble.If anyone purchased and use it kindly update about the Battery backup bcz it has 2100mah battery like moto g.

  • I love this phone,running smoothly..butthe battery is sucks, & i dont think any battery saver apps will fix this,i dont realy believe suchthing will actualy helping..

  • it is very good phone for this price......

  • everything is nice but if 8mp camera phone is released then it must have quad core chipset 27 of today's modern processors i don't understand why htc is making such a crap phones now htc is endangered in germany for its copy work from nokia really to feel shame

  • It is a very good phone with good specs but I am not understanding that why they used older version of Android and HTC sense when this phone can easily run android JB4.3 with latest htc sense 5 i.e HTC blink feeds....

  • Very nice handset with dual SIM active and beats audio. Definitely better than Samsung Galaxy S Dous 2 but price is around 16,000 - 18,000 INR..
