There are many people looking for a cheap phone and there are many budget phones out there. Some are good and some are bad with many features available at a varying degree of quality. If you are looking for a phone that is affordable and has a good range of features that work thank you have come to the right place. Today I will be discussing the HTC One M7 and helping you decide if this phone is for you. For a cheap phone it is decent and works well with some great features.
It has a nice design and it looks and feels great. The phone is great for users of any level and it offers a clean and fresh user experience that you will like. The phone works fast and has a lot of power making it one of the best smartphones around. It`s performance is great and surprising for a cheap phone but it definitely gets the job done. The HTC One M7 works great and is reliable for simple tasks and heavy tasks with a battery life that will last a full day on a single charge even with heavy tasks.
Overview
The HTC One M7 looks great with a nice design and it is thinner than some other HTC smartphones. It has a 4.7 inch super LCD3 touchscreen display which is smaller than most phones these days. It has 2GB of RAM and either 32GB or 64GB internal storage depending on which one you choose. The internal storage can not be expanded because there is no Micro SD card slot. Even though the RAM amount is low the phone is still pretty fast and performs well most of the time.
The phone has a 4 megapixel rear camera with a flash and a 2.1 megapixel front facing camera. There is a video camera that has 1080p HD video recording and good quality sound. The rear camera takes decent photos but it is not as good as the cameras on smartphones are now days. But you will still be able to take decent photos. However, the front facing camera quality is lower making it hard to take good quality selfies making this a problem for some users who like taking selfies.
The Benefits Of The HTC One M7
There are many benefits of the HTC One M7 starting with the design. The design looks nice and it is easy to use. The phone is powered by Android 4.1.2 and it is upgradable to Android 5.0. The app store works well and apps download and run fast and perform well. There is a google assistant and it works fast and well. Checking email and browsing the web is fast and easy. The speeds are decent and there are 2G and 3G speeds available making it a reliable smartphone to use and have.

The battery life is great and will last a full day on a single charge. If you are doing heavy tasks the battery will still last most of the day and even longer with simple tasks.
Where To Buy
There HTC One M7 has been discontinued by the manufacturer but it is still a usable smartphone. It is not available in carriers but it is sometimes found in electronic stores. The phone is mainly available online and is the cheapest place to buy the phone. It is available from places like ebay, amazon and kogan. It is affordable and you will get it fast after you order. The phone will also be unlocked if you buy it online meaning you won’t have to pay any unlocking fees to use any sim card in it.
The phone will come ready to use with any sim card from any carrier that you like without any problems or limitations. There are no month to month plans available for the HTC One M7 because of the phone being discontinued. But there are prepaid plans available for it in may carriers. These plans include data and are cheap starting at $20 per month and you can pay more if you wish to get more data. There is no reason why you can’t use this phone today so don’t be scared to buy it.
Is The HTC One M7 For Me?
When considering if the HTC One M7 is for you there are a lot of things to think about. It has it`s positives and negatives like all smartphones. To start with it has a nice design and is easy to use and navigate. The phone is fast and takes decent photos and videos with the rear camera. Apps perform well and fast and the google assistant works well. Web browsing is fast and reliable with decent speeds and the battery life will last a full day on a single charge even with heavy tasks.
The downsides start with the phone being slippery. When you hold the phone it can slip out of your hand quite often and this can damage the phone. The front facing camera is not good quality making it hard to take decent selfies. The phone supports 2G and 3G and in some countries 3G is being switched off in 2024 which will force you to upgrade to a 4G phone. The phone is discontinued meaning there are no month to month plans available for it and you can mainly buy it online.
Conclusion
The HTC One M7 is a great smartphone all in all. It has a nice design and it is easy to use and navigate. It has a lot of power and is fast and reliable. Apps run fast and perform well and web browsing is fast and reliable with decent speeds. The battery life will last a full day on a single charge even while doing heavy tasks. The rear camera takes decent photos and videos but the front facing camera is low quality making it hard to take decent selfies. It only supports 2G and 3G meaning you will have to upgrade your phone to a 4G phone in four years tome after the 3G network is turned off in some countries. The phone is a decent choice for an entertainment device but you could choose something a bit better. I do not recommend that you choose this phone for photography purposes because you will need something with a much better camera. The phone is discontinued by the manufacturer and is mainly available online. There is no reason why you can’t use the phone today so don’t be scared to buy it. I recommend that you choose this phone if you are looking for something for calls, messages and internet browsing. If you buy the phone online it will come unlocked and ready to use with any carrier.
