This Smartphone Is All You Need 

"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.

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

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.

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

damn austin been working out

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 🤷🏻‍♂️

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I'm happy with my iPhone 7 plus

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

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

Already 3 years gone so fast... My god

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.

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.

The pop-up lanyard was ripped off of the iPod Touch, which has been doing that for several generations, lol nice job HTC! :)

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...

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

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

i can see so many of your veins

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!

The On5 looks a lot like my old phone a Galaxy Grand Prime. I’m sure it’s newer with different features, but they look a lot alike.

Actually now all i need is a VR Headset :P

what camera are you guys using to film this?

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

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

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

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

I didn't know you can use a hand stap as a lanyard

Is Ken wearing a Love Live T-Shirt at 4:23 ?!

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

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

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

that loop on the HTC reminds me of the iPod 5

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

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

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

you need to put sponsored video in the description as well according to the FCC

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

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

the on 5 was frickin floating

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

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.

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

we need more bloopers like that

I chose a desire 530 and 3 years later it's still holding up. But it's so painfully slow

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

All you need is love

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

My friend has the first one and its litteraly charging itself

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

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

Does your phone stick just freezes ip near the end of the month if it does please say so be it an old one or a new one

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?

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

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.

Definetly the htc. Really well done

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.

*Totally not a biased review.*

OnePlus 3 and you're done.

3 years ago the desire 816 was $400.00, just got a refurbished one for $40.00

last 3 seconds killed me lol

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

lol I was deciding between those 3 phones a month ago and ended up choosing the htc. I flipped when I saw the thumbnail

That mural... in the village.....DO YOU LIVE IN CLAREMONT TOO?!!!!

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

HTC Desire 530 for 80 dollars? .. where? In Denmark they cost at least 200 dollars.

Great video Austin! You can't beat free

the only thing i dont like about these phones is that the storage is realy small so you cant have many apps installed or take a lot of pictures even with an sd card you cant transfer all the apps there
