"All you need" But can it run crysis?

If you're so impressed why don't you use the Desire as your daily driver for a couple of months 😂

*"When MetroPCS reached out to me, the first thing I thought was cheap phones." -Austin 2k16*

1:07 - 1 Gigabyte a month of uncapped data...that is capped at 1GB

The only downside of the cheap smartphone is its camera.

30$ for 1gb is overpriced as shit

That first phone was my actual first phone 😂😂

*whopping* $80

When a budget phone has a better camera than your iPhone 5S you paid 800 dollars for.

Austin is getting bigger and bigger. Lifting those gaming PCs are giving him some gains.

After having spent my life with shitty budget phones like the Galaxy Ace2 or Galaxy Star or Cubot Zorro (lol) i can confidently say the 700 bucks for my S7 are TOTALLY worth it, period.

"when metro pcs reached out to me the first thing I thought was cheap phones" lol

damn austin been working out

even the very lowest level android phones have more functionality than the latest iPhones.

I had the HTC Desire 530 back in the day haha. Was just watching nostalgia videos on old phones I had. This was actually the last like cheaper/ midrange phone I had. Got it for like $120 or something in 2016 from Verizon, had it till like March 2017 and got the original MotoZ which was Moto's flagship of the time, then after that an s10+ and now I've had my s22u since last year. What is blowing my mind is that, fr the HTC was a pretty usable phone for basically $100 and it's just crazy that back then $100 could do that. I had come from an iPhone 5c which was like the cheap iPhone of the time, think it was like $400 or something back then, but in all reality aside from camera I remember the HTC basically doing everything the iPhone could do for again $100. My MotoZ was $799, my s10+ was $1100, and my s22u was a whopping $1,599 for the 512gb version, although Verizon did let me get it for the price of the 256gb version for the preorder, and then they gave me $1,000 for my s10+ as a trade in. I also have an iPhone 14 Pro I use for my work phone and that mf was $1100. Now a days midrange Android phones are like $500 minimum, but they literally perform at the same level a flagship did 2-3 years ago it's crazy. But theres not really any $100 options anymore that are usable which sucks for people low on money, but for $400-$500 you can get a reeeeally decent option, honestly some options better than base modle iPhones for price to features 🤷🏻‍♂️

I agree Austin, I've had a Note 5, S5, S6 edge, etc. and I keep selling my premium phones and returning to a budget phone because of how much I save $$100s and how they do everything I need them to do.

Austin has it figured out, He manages to make sponsored videos that are actually fun to watch and don't piss people off.

Watching this on my htc desire 530. I just bought this htc 2 days ago😂 really good phone for the price.

Complains about how modern smartphones are too big then complements a bigger screen on a different phone

Austin: it had a lanya-- Me:*runs over to MetroPCS* "I NEED A LANYARD PHONE!!!"

Okay... I don't mind the sponsored videos, but there seems to have been a lot lately.

I feel he wants to just do a whole video on how the desire has a lanyard

The Desire 530 is like the precursor to the design of the Pixel 2. I love it.

I agree with Austin. That HTC has a really fun-looking design. It looks like a nice phone.

Cheap smartphones are soo much better now then they were a few years ago.

I'm happy with my iPhone 7 plus

I’ve definitely purchased a couple phones in this price range for my mother and the LG’s have been way easier to deal with. Not all apps can go on an SD card so Samsung always run out of space really quick.

AHHHHHH, why am I just now finding you? Crispy Video, Funny host, and an informational review, really enjoyed the video and definitely staying for more Austin!

Did anyone think of the iPod with the lanyard when he showed the HTC phone?

0:53 is that phone floating??? only 60 bucks I am gonna invest in those! the flying phone is the future!! :D

the real use I find for a lanyard, is to be able to pull stuff out of my pocket without putting my whole hand or fingers into my pocket. It's just easier and honestly kind of fun

I like how you pause before describing an aspect of the phones as if trying to not lie without saying that theyre shit.

In India these phones are not at all value for money.

I know this is a promotional video, but I'm not sure why a tech enthusiast would go with them. They seem to charge $30 for 1GB of LTE, while T-mobile's prepaid deal on their website bags you a full 5GB for that amount.

Damn Austin , back at it again with the vascular hands 💪💪💪💪

Thx Austin, I watched this a few days ago and it made me want to get an HTC Desire 530, my old phone was broken so I needed a new one. Even though it was a year old , it was such a good deal from metro PCs. I'm loving it a lot.

The K10 feeling snappier, eh? Makes PERFECT sense... The HTC is rocking a Snapdragon 210 with a PATHETIC Cortex-A7 32-Bit... Galaxy On5, which has a custom Exynos SoC... Exynos are fast, right? In this case, WRONG... The 3475 is the same as Snapdragon 210 albeit with a stronger GPU than SD210... The K7 is no comparison... It has 64-Bit Cortex-A53s which are roughly 30% more powerful than A7s... And lets not forget the fact that its a 64-Bit SoC so it'll be overall smoother than 32-Bit...

the problem is the western world still didn't heard about Mi

dude, you have some really good video concepts man, I hope one day we can work together in future. keep up the good work

That HTC back design is amazing, I want it just for that.

i can see so many of your veins

Removable batteries weren't a big deal the day I replaced the battery off my 2 year old note 4 and said... By the power of rejuvenation. My phone has been rejuvenated

Already 3 years gone so fast... My god

I just bought the HTC Desire 530 and it's such an amazing phone! Everything about it is awesome and compact and I can't wait to do more with it!

"1gb of uncapped data" what does that mean?

I got a refurbished Moto X (2013) for 60 bucks, extremely snappy and the perfect size screen.

I got super excited watching this video cause getting such good phones for $80, that's a steal. I opened up the amazon app, was about to order the HTC phone you showcased here. But then came the shocker, the HTC Desire 530 costs $188.47 in India :-/ For $80, we could get a Chinese clone from Indian companies like Micromax, Lava, Intex, etc.

omg! i watched this video and never thought about it again, but now im looking for a phone and iv'e been looking at the on5!

"phones these days are way too big" has iPhone seven plus

Here is tip used phones I bought a motorolla droid turbo for 140$ its basically new trust me you cannot get that level of power any where in a new phone we are talking snapdragon 805 3 gig ram 1440p amoled 21 back 2 front front facing speaker

Definetly the htc. Really well done

I just bought the HTC Desire 530. The ear piece is great!

what camera are you guys using to film this?

2:35 I can't be the only person who thought of the iPod touch 5th generation.

when you have the on5 😭😭

I have the HTC phone. Let me tell you, it is SO sturdy and durable. I can through it across the room, and no damage done. I have abused this phone, and since I've gotten it, all I've done in damage is scratching the corners.( I got it from my mother, and it was already cracked, but hasn't spread, and honestly I don't know what she had to do to crack it.) So if you have a problem with breaking phones, this HTC is definitely the phone for you! The only problems I have with it are that the camera is not so good, and it can get slow sometimes, but that's about it. Hope this helps anyone on the edge about getting one of these new phones. 😊

metro budget phones aren't even good phones, they all have bottom shelf everything... Go to eBay and get something from a respected seller

>"It's the right size" to a 4 inch phone. >Uses an iPhone 7+...

That last bit was funny. Each fall presented a consequence in his facial expression.

I've have the HTC for a year and it has held up great.

Actually now all i need is a VR Headset :P

How do you do budget smart phones from MetroPCS but not the MetroPCS exclusive ZTE ZMAX PRO????

the on 5 was frickin floating

The fact that you'd truly say and or believe that these phones are even relatively close to being anywhere near a flagship in comparison is utter mularky. It truly told me all I need to know to make a decision to continually watch your channel.

has an iphone 7 PLUS... complains about how phones are too big nowdays...

When Austin smacked that lg phone I realized how buff he is...

Great video Austin! You can't beat free

I actually use an on5 as my main device and I always wanted Austin Evans to review it vor some reason

What's that font for the "200% scale" text omg

I have the K10. It's alright, but i miss my Note 3.

I like the htc one its pretty cool with the back cover and lanyard

Looks a little nerdy and buff at the same time. Cool.

Remember when the iPhone 4s was like 299$ ? The iPhone 7 is now 1000$

"I feel like too many smart phones nowadays are too big" Yet you still have an iPhone 7 Plus

My friend has the first one and its litteraly charging itself

Just ordered a HTC Desire 626s on cricket for 99 cents, I did have to pay for one month's of service when I checked out, but still worth it, it's refurb'd and perfect to use as a phone until back to school 2017, My note 3 died so I had to order a cheap budget phone.

I have an lg k10 and I gotta say its a beast considering the price. It legit runs asphalt xtreme with little to no stuttering.

All you need is love

My grandma had an On 5 for a long time. She switched just recently

I am happy to know that I switched to MetroPCS 4 days ago and got the Samsung Galaxy J3 Prime and it's better than being on Boost

The sad moment when these 8 megapickles might be better than my 21 megapickle one.

Haha watching Austin the first time for like 1 or 2 years, he got BUFF! Gj dude!

A good mid range phone is the Huawei P8 lite 2015 edition. Had this phone for a year and it's great! Good 13MP rear and 8MP front facing cameras. It is a light and thin phone. Speakers are good, it's fast and has a good display. Good deal for £80! Happy with it a year on :)

The HTC Desire looks like you carved a phone out of a jawbreaker...

That HTC is kul! Always nice when Manufacturers do something different and quirky, Sony used to be that company with Walkman phones and nice earphones.

your the same dude who survived with a 20 dollar phone.. im so sorry ;-;

thnks to this video i now have the htc 626 and i love it... would reccomend it

I have the LG K10. It's pretty good for the price! If you are on a budget you will not regret choosing this smartphone.

I'm running the leeco max 2 it has a snapdragon 820 superamoled 5.7" 2k display 21mp camera 6gb ram and a USB type c all for 220$ lmao

OnePlus 3 and you're done.

careful of the on5. although it may have a micro-sd slot, it won't let you format the card as internal storage, causing the storage to cap out at 8 gigs, and after you use that you have to manually transfer things.

My first phone was an HTC 2015 phone Verizon 4g LTE for 300 hundred dollars now I’m rocking my brand new iPhone 11 that just arrived

I bought this phone and 2 weeks later the phone just doesn't turn on anymore. You get what you pay for

*Totally not a biased review.*

Yet I have a question. So I'm new to android phones, so I want to know, can I insert an sd card and install apps onto it?

i would really want my every single phone with the same back as the htc one

This is actually really cool, considering I'm thinking about switching to MetroPCS. Thanks bro!

Redmi note 3 is the best phone 200 dollars -3gb ram -32gb -snapdragon 650 -4000 mha -1080p -403p -finger print sensor -16 megapixel camera - and more..... I have it, is the best

I had an Samsung Galaxy On5. That was the Dark Ages. But a new Renaissance came with my iPhone 8

Watching this on an HTC desire530
