Design and Build
With its dimensions of 128.5 x 66.7 x 9.8 mm and a weight of 130 grams, the HTC Desire 501 was comfortably portable and easy to handle, fitting well within the palm of the user's hand or a pocket. The use of a micro-SIM slot and the sleek form factor enabled HTC to maintain a modern design sensibility typical of mid-range smart devices of its time. The phone was available in three colors: black, white, and pink, offering a degree of personalization and style suitable for various tastes.
