One of the latest Android-based handsets to become official from the Taiwanese mobile phone maker HTC Corporation was the Desire C, an entry-level device that will hit shelves at 200 Euro ($255) unlocked.

Packing a 600Mhz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor complemented by 512 MB of RAM, the smartphone was shaping up as a great option for budget-conscious users.

Apparently, it is more than that, at least this is what recent benchmark results show. The Desire C can deliver a 1452 score in Quadrant, while hitting 1929 in AnTuTu, GSM Dome reports.

These results place the smartphone above HTC’s Wildfire S, while also showing that it can do better than Nexus S in some cases.

When launched, the Desire C will sport a 3.5-inch touchscreen display, 4GB of internal memory, a 5MP camera on the back, and Google’s Android 4.0 ICS platform with Sense 4.0 on top.
