• Android 2.3 Gingerbread, Upgradable to Android 4.0 with Sense 3.5

• Purple Colored-Targeted at Women

The HTC Rhyme is the Taiwan-based company’s mid-range phone specifically targeted at women with its cute purple-colored design. This candy-bar style really stands out because of the purple color as well as the exceptional design while the soft-touch plastic makes it easy to grip. Weighing in at just 130g, it is quite light but still feels sturdy enough. The Rhyme has a 480 x 800 3.7 Inch S-LCD screen and four capacitive touch buttons below it for home, settings, back and search functions.

This phone runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread but since last September, it has been made upgradable to Android 4.0 ICS. There is also HTC’s legacy Sense 3.5 UI that’ll give you some additional features.

The rear camera is a 5 MP Autofocus one with LED Flash that is capable of capturing reasonably good photos as well as 720p videos. The front camera is VGA.

HTC Rhyme uses 768 MB of RAM and a 1 GHz Single-Core Snapdragon processor. All this is powered by a 1600 mAh battery, which’ll give you a standby time time of 295 and a talk time of 10 hours 20 mins on 2G/8 hours on 3G.

For your connectivity needs, there are all the basic connection features like 3G, EDGE, GPRS, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
