The new smartphone is called HomTom HT37 and it’s not a simple smartphone, but it’s a musical one. To everyone who likes to listen to music and to give joy to the positive, this budget smartphone is good for you.

All Chinese devices are similar to each other. As you can see, the device has a practical heat-resistant aluminum housing, which is combined with 2.5D-glass and metal.
Review HomTom HT37: Best Music Smartphone with audio chip AWINIC
The smartphone is available for sale in three colors, namely gray, silver and pink gold.
I would like to note about the main chip of the smartphone, namely it’s a music LED-backlight. This HT37 smartphone is designed for music lovers and a vibrant life, but no more, since the specification of a smartphone is low for gaming properties.
The manufacturer announces the availability of a special audio chip AWINIC and two speakers, so the smartphone boasts a deep and clean sound. Also, the smartphone HomTom HT37 has the presence of LED-backlight, which is located at the top and bottom of the display of the device.
Review HomTom HT37: Best Music Smartphone with audio chip AWINIC
With the approach, we see the distinctive details of the HT37 are soft and smooth shapes complemented by sharp cuts along the edges.
HomTom HT37 is a compact and elegant smartphone that is very confidently sitting in your hand.
Review HomTom HT37: Best Music Smartphone with audio chip AWINIC
The USB charging connector and the speaker are located at the bottom. On top, there is a 3.5 mm audio jack and a microphone. On the left side of the case, we have a slot for 2 SIM-cards of nano format (the second slot is hybrid; you can install a memory card here). On the right, there was a power button and a volume key. Behind just above the center is proudly flaunted the fingerprint sensor, there is also a flash and a camera, on the sides of them are installed strips for the antenna.

DISPLAY: HOMTOM HT37

The device is equipped with a 5-inch display with a resolution of 1280 × 720 pixels. Since this is a budget version of the smartphone, you understand the manufacturer on the screen saved.
But the image on the display has a voluminous, realistic and fascinating look instantly. And the display pleased me no less than the design.
Review HomTom HT37: Best Music Smartphone with audio chip AWINIC
The IPS display has a high resolution for the diagonal, and you should not forget this is not a 5.5-inch screen, so HD resolution for a 5-inch display is enough.
The display has brightness and contrast quite at a good level.

HARDWARE: HOMTOM HT37

The device is equipped with an old Mediatek MT6580 processor, which works in tandem with the ARM Mali-400MP graphics processor. Inside the device, there is also 2GB of RAM with 16GB of internal memory.
All thanks to the still old architecture of Harvard, so the processor has a separate data cache, which makes it a little faster than the models from which they are combined.
Review HomTom HT37: Best Music Smartphone with audio chip AWINIC
However, if you are interested in the classic Google Play, then it does no problem with it. Even games such as Two Dots and Angry Birds 2 will run without glitches. Of course, HomTom HT37 can and will be heated from a long game, but this is the payment for the metal case.

CAMERA: HOMTOM HT37

The manufacturer provided the smartphone with high-quality cameras. The main camera has a resolution of 13 megapixels, and the diaphragm F2.2 at the same time removes from the average. The main force of the device is a dual focus, combining the phase (PDAF) and contrast (CAF) autofocusing.
Review HomTom HT37: Best Music Smartphone with audio chip AWINIC
The front camera here is set to 5 megapixels, and it shows a remarkable result if the weather is sunny and clear. With poor lighting, pictures are obtained with great noise.

BATTERY: HOMTOM HT37

For the long operation of the HT37 smartphone is responsible for a battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh and besides, there is support for fast charging, so that the smartphone is provided with good autonomous work.
In our tests, it showed good results, for example, the result for games was 3.5 hours of work when watching movies online was 5 hours of work. That is, in our case, for a full two days, the battery was sufficient for active use.

CONCLUSION: HOMTOM HT37

The new smartphone HomTom HT37 is designed for music fans, and in fact, it is a youth phone that will suit everyone. Since the price of the device is not high, and any teenager can boast of friends with his not bad music on the phone.
