HTC may be holding fire on its new flagship handset, but it does have some intriguing new handsets to talk about at MWC this year. This HTC Desire 610 looks to take on the hugely popular (and possibly soon to be discontinued Motorola Moto G). We’ve no pricing yet but based on the specs this looks to be a lower mid-range handset that should please a lot of people.
Compared to the Moto G, the HTC Desire 610 has a slightly larger 4.7in screen but with a lower 960×540 resolution. It matches the budget smash though with its 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400, quad-core chipset. There’s also 1GB of RAM onboard.
We’re hard to impress since the £130 Moto G blew away our expectations of a ‘budget’ smartphone. That said, we’re hoping the HTC Desire 610 comes in below the £200 mark, where its additional storage capacity, stereo speakers and hopefully sharper camera will give it nice little niche to call its own.
