HTC Desire 520

The HTC Desire 520 is affordable and compact Android smartphone with loud front-facing speakers. It also includes a microSD card slot and user-replaceable battery.

The screen is dull, battery life is short, and the plastic casing feels cheap. There's a noticeable delay when switching between apps and scrolling through the home screen.

Don't be fooled by the Desire 520's low price. You can get a better-performing phone if you are willing to spend a little extra.
