HTC Announces the Mid-Range Desire 626

HTC has announced a new serious player in the mid-range smartphone market with the new Huawei Desire 626. The phone comes with a giant display, a 64-bit processor and an affordable price tag.

The 5” display comes with 720p resolution which is just about what we’ve come to expect by now. The design follows the usual HTC design language.

Underneath, you get a 1.2Ghz quad-core 64-bit Snapdragon 410 processor with 1 GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage. You also get a duo of 13 and 5 megapixel cameras on the front and back, both capable of 1080p videos.

With great specs and a competitive price point, the Desire 626 could prove to be a big hit

The phone runs on Android 4.4.4 KitKat which is customized and should be updated in the near future. The phone comes with support for 4G LTE and optional dual-SIM connectivity. A commonplace 2,000 mAh battery sits at the back.

The most-alluring spec is the price itself. At under $200, HTC may have in its hands an absolute winner at this range. Of course, there’s always more to it than the paper but as far as we know now, it sure looks sweet.

    • HTC is kinna slow on giving the updates, even if they give or announce, it takes ages to reach you.. Saying from my experience with One X

  • Do yourself a favour and NEVER buy an HTC. Have owned one before and know ppl who have purchased from the same brand. Battery life is bad and it gets slow, real fast. I had a 16gb microsd installed and it was still slow after only ~6months while memory card was barely half full. Not worth the money.

    • FYI : Now a Day 1 GB Ram is not Enough as today the Applications required minimum 2 GB Ram if the users want to install 5 to 10 Applications. i have used HTC Phone and it is better then the other , even other phones having 1 GB Ram may get slow.

      i am waiting for HTC Phone that has price around 25 K and Ram would be 2 GB with 3G/LTE Supported on Local Network

    • He’s absolutely right! Samsung, Huawei is much better than the carp #Qmobile.
      U’ll definitely feel big difference after using these brands, If U have tight budget then U must go for Huawei. I always prefer Huawei than Samsung due to Pricing factor.
