Design :
At the top there are the power button and headphone socket. Side headphones are a pain in the pocket, and power switches should be in a standard place..On the right side there are the two volume buttons and on the left is simply a Micro-USB socket for charging the phone.
Screen :
There
is a nice display that is easy to read and works outdoors too. It is not
perfect though. Scrolling through menus renders the whole thing a blurry mess.
When you stop scrolling, everything sharpens up and the display is very
readable again. This means the phone would not be well suited to watch video
on, and it can be a little frustrating when you're reading Twitter or trying to
find something in a menu.
Overall though, the most important part of a
phone is its display and the HTC Explorer does not let itself down.
It is quite small and that can be a problem
for some people. We struggled a little with our sausage fingers, and sometimes
made typing errors - the HTC keyboard is not the best at auto-correct either.
Audio quality :
Calls on the Explorer are loud and clear.
This is a good thing. You won't struggle to hear this one though, but at high
volumes, there's a little audible problem.
On switching to the speaker, and you will find
a loud clear sound too, that is easily powerful enough to use when you are on
your own, and want to go hands-free.
Camera :
The camera
is of 3mp. It works perfectly in daylight but not in darkness. When you
captures the picture it seems to be rough but on seeing through gallery it will
be seen clear.
There is one oddity though. The phone will
let you take photos with no SD card in the camera. It even stores some images
on its internal memory, but what it does not do is allow you to send them
anywhere or access them through the gallery app, until you have put a card in.
Battery life :
If you use it for phone calls and messaging
its battery last for more time. But on using wifi it lasts normal. And on
playing games like “Angry Birds” and “Temple Run” the battery consumes much
power. Also its metal back becomes hot.
