14 DAY TRIAL // Aside from the One X9 that we reported on yesterday, HTC introduced a few other mid-range Android smartphones that will make their debut worldwide sometime next month.
The new Desire 530, 630 and 825 are meant to “bridge the gap between fashion and consumer electronics,” says HTC.
The handset maker used specially created micro splash effect on the polycarbonate shell, so each of these mid-range smartphones should look both personal and unique.
In that regard, HTC announced that the Desire 630 and 825 will be available in Stratus White Remix with duo color micro splash and Graphite Gray Remix with gold micro splash, while Desire 530 will launch in Graphite Grey and Solid Stratus White block colors.
Unfortunately, there's no word on price and exact release date, but HTC confirmed all three smartphones would be available starting March.
Spec-wise, they aren't that impressive, but they surely have the potential of becoming popular among Android fans if priced correctly. All three Desire smartphones will ship with Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system right out of the box.
The most powerful of the three, HTC Desire 825, sports a 5.5-inch Super LCD display that supports 720p resolution. The phone comes equipped with a 1.4GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, 2GB RAM and 16GB storage expandable via microSD card.
There's also a 13-megapixel camera on the back and a 5-megapixel selfie camera in the front, both of which can record full HD (1080p) video.
Depending on the region, the Desire 825 comes with single or dual-SIM support. Also, it's powered by a 2,700 mAh battery.
It's also worth mentioning the smartphone comes with a Hi-Res headset in the retail box. The Desire 825 is Hi-Res certified and includes BoomSound and Dolby Audio technology.
Some come with dual-SIM support in selected markets
Next in line, HTC Desire 630 sports a smaller 5-inch display with 720p resolution. It comes with the same Hi-Res audio setup and features a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera, as well as a secondary 5-megapixel camera in the front.
The smartphone is powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset, coupled with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage expandable via microSD card slot. The Desire 630 offers 4G LTE and dual-SIM support, and it's powered by a 2,200 mAh battery.
Last but not least, HTC Desire 530 lacks all improved audio features included in the other two Desire smartphones. However, it comes with the same 5-inch HD (720p) display.
On the inside, the smartphone packs a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 processor, paired with 1.5GB of Ram and 16GB of storage.
At the back, the Desire 530 features an 8-megapixel photo snapper while in the front there's a secondary 5-megapixel camera. MicroSD card slot is included as well.
