The mobile phone was launched with WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity inside, support for 4G LTE networks, and with a built-in GPS receiver.
Furthermore, the Android-based smartphone packs a series of unique features coming from HTC, including dual front-facing HTC BoomSound speakers.
With HTC’s own Sense UI loaded on top, the HTC Desire 601 is capable of providing its users with features such as HTC Zoe Camera and HTC Blinkfeed.
“Get impressive features and surprising affordability with the HTC Desire 601,” the Canadian mobile phone carrier notes on its website.
