To recap
There are so many affordable phones to choose from in the market right now that this affordable HTC fails to make an impact in any way. Sure, it looks slender and the screen is fairly large, but the Honor 20 Lite or Moto G7 - both of which are just £20 more each - walk all over this HTC in terms of design and performance. There’s very little to desire here.
