Quick Review of Homtom HT17

The display of Homtom HT17 is average in clarity as the screen size is bigger considering the screen resolution. The CPU Quad-core processor and GPU processor chipsets are good for this price range.

RAM is very less to bring flawless performance. With only 1GB of RAM, multitasking would be an issue on long term. The Internal Storage won’t be enough for many users. They have to spend extra money to buy a SD card to increase the storage.

Camera is acceptable for this price range. So, we can’t expect much from cameras of Homtom HT17. Battery is real deal in this device. It has 3000mAh capacity. This is large for a low priced smartphone.
