HTC held a presentation in Taiwan to unveil few new low- and mid-end Desire smartphones. Here’s what’s new:
HTC Desire 700
Looks like a cheap version of the HTC One, with specs that include:
- 5-inch qHD screen
- Qualcomm-made quad-core chip, most likely Snapdragon 400
- 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage
- 8-megapixel rear camera with BSI sensor and f/2.0 aperture, 2.1MP front-facing camera (again with BSI sensor)
- BoomSound front-facing speakers
- Dual SIM support
- 2,100 mAh battery
The phone is priced NTD 13,900 in Taiwan, which translates into some $470.
HTC Desire 501
- 4.3-inch WVGA screen
- 1.15GHz dual-core processor
- 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage
- 8-megapixel rear camera with BSI sensor and f/2.0 aperture, 2.1MP front-facing camera (again with BSI sensor)
- 2,100 mAh battery
The Desire 501 will cost NTD 9,900 ($330) in Taiwan.
HTC Desire 601 Dual SIM
The dual-SIM version of the Desire 601 is very similar to the Desire 701, though it doesn’t have an 8-megapixel camera. Here are the specs:
- 4.5-inch qHD screen
- 1.2GHz dual-core processor
- 1GB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage
- 5-megapixel rear camera
- BoomSound front-facing speakers
- Dual SIM support
This one is priced NTD 10,900 ($370).
In addition, HTC also showed off the Desire 300, but there’s nothing new about that. It’s the cheapest of the bunch, costing NTD 7,900 ($270). And we’ve no idea when (or even whether) any of these three will ever be released in the West.
