Price last checked: 14 Jun 2016. Confirm current price before buying.
Specs here point to entry-level use only. The Snapdragon 200 chipset and 1 GB RAM handle basic apps and calls fine, but multitasking or anything graphics-heavy will push it to its limits. Storage is tight too: 4 GB onboard, though microSD support up to 32 GB gives you room to add media. The 5-inch display is a standard capacitive touchscreen running Android 4.2.2 with HTC's Sense UI layered on top.
Camera-wise, you get a 5 MP rear shooter with LED flash and a 2 MP front camera, capable of 720p video. Nothing built for low light or detail work, but serviceable for casual shots. The 1950 mAh battery is modest by today's standards, matching the phone's lightweight 160g build and 9.7mm thickness.
HTC Desire 516 price in Malaysia starts from RM649. It's a dual SIM device available in Black or White, with Wi-Fi, GPS, and HSPA data support rounding out the connectivity basics.
