Bad - Inaudible - very feeble voice

Sudhamsh Kalachaveedu (Jul 6, 2014) on Gadgets 360

I bought it just today and finally had to return with in 2 hours and lose Rs.1500 in exchange. The voice is very feeble and not audible at all. The shop guy created a mess and finally accepted saying that it is low compared to other phones. But you cannot hear anything. Extremely bad experience. I really wanted to buy this as the looks are good..but does not function.

Worth to Buy

Ajit Nayak (Sep 2, 2019) on Flipkart

Nice mobile. I like the feature and functionality of HTC. Touch very smooth. I can suggest you that HTC is better than Samsung or Micromax. And Thanks Flipkart for delivery this product with 3days.
