Performance
Running on the Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) OS, which was upgradable to 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the HTC Rhyme was powered by the Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon S2 chipset. Equipped with a 1.0 GHz Scorpion CPU and an Adreno 205 GPU, it delivered satisfactory performance for the time. The 768 MB of RAM and 4 GB of internal storage, with an included 8 GB microSDHC card, ensured basic multitasking and app support. However, such specifications would feel limited with intensive applications or in modern usage scenarios.
