Share your directorial debut as the HTC Desire 500 lands on Three.
With HTC’s Video Highlights, the Desire 500 automatically creates 30 second mini-movies from your photos and videos, for you to personalise with your own theme and matching music. Plus, the VideoPic setting allows you to take photos and videos at the same time. Budding movie directors can capture their favourite moments and share with friends and family from the palm of their hands.
Coming with a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, switching between Spotify, Instagram, or the latest Android games, such as Avengers Alliance, is simple and quick. The HTC Desire 500 also features an 8 megapixel camera with a multi-shot burst mode that captures up to four shots every second.

Fans of HTC’s Video Highlights will love Three’s all-you-can-eat data and new Pay As You Go rates, at 1p per megabyte, as they will be able to share all their favourite videos without breaking the bank.”
