BatteryThough this is a mid-range device and we expected a 1300 mAh battery, HTC has surprised everyone by using a 1650 mAh removable unit. The term 'removable' is important because in future you can upgrade the battery with a high-powered one. Over the 3G network, the Desire X offers run time of just about a day and the next morning it would beep to get charged.
The video playback also showed normal consumption of battery as one can watch two 180 minute movies on a single charge without leaving the WiFi turned on. Unfortunately, the chip neither records nor supports playback of 720p HD content so you will be limited to lesser resolutions.
Final wordsHTC Desire X is a smooth, routine performance smartphone with fair battery life of just about a day. For a mid-range device, it does a great job of handling the operating system and other activities quite smoothly. Desire X is priced at Rs 18,850 approximately, and can be purchased for less. When compared to rival mid-range devices, the Desire X does look a bit over priced. One of the features missing is 720p HD video recording and smoother playback.
Packing decent battery life, Desire X is the perfect device if you want to move around clicking pictures, listening to music and chatting with your friends over WhatsApp or Gtalk. Desire X may appear a little costly so you can wait for deals or discount coupons. It is a premium finish HTC device that will spoil you with the Sense 4.0 UI and other features.
