Specs here reflect an entry-level 2013 device built around a Snapdragon 400 chipset, dual-core at 1.4GHz, paired with 1GB RAM and Adreno 305 graphics. That's enough for Android 4.1 Jelly Bean to run without much fuss, but it's not a phone built for demanding apps or multitasking. Storage is fixed at 16GB with no card slot, so what you buy is what you get. The 4.3-inch Super LCD screen runs 720 x 1280 at roughly 342 ppi, which was sharp for its time and still holds up fine for basic use.

The 5MP rear camera covers autofocus, LED flash and 1080p video at 30fps, while a 1.6MP front camera handles basic selfies and video calls. A 2000 mAh battery keeps things light at 123.9g and 8.9mm thick. HTC First price in Malaysia starts from RM386, putting it firmly in budget territory.

Connectivity covers Wi-Fi dual-band, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and GPS with GLONASS, plus a micro-SIM slot and HSPA+ data. It comes in White, Black, Red and Pale Blue.
