Dual SIM support and a fairly basic spec sheet put the HTC Desire 501 dual sim in entry-level territory. Under the hood is a dual-core 1.2 GHz NovaThor chipset paired with 1 GB RAM and 8 GB storage, with microSD expansion up to 64 GB if you need more room. The 4.3-inch Super LCD2 screen runs at 480 x 800 pixels, enough for everyday browsing and messaging without much sharpness to speak of.
The 8 MP rear camera comes with autofocus and LED flash, and there's a 2.1 MP front camera for basic selfies and video calls. A 2100 mAh battery keeps things running, and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with HTC Sense 4.0+ handles the software side. HTC Desire 501 dual sim price in Malaysia starts from RM780.
Extras include NFC, GPS with GLONASS, and Beats Audio sound enhancement through the headphone jack, features that were still worth mentioning on a phone at this price point back when it launched.
