HTC announces Desire C budget Android smartphone

Blair McClelland May 15, 2012 Android, Mobile, Smartphone

HTC's successor to the highly grossing Wildfire S budget Android smartphone has been known about for a while now, with specifications leaking just the other day. Today it has been revealed (as rumoured) as the Desire C, keeping the Desire family of smartphones alive but barely breathing. [yframe url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJFsC08IZoQ&feature=g-u-u']

Full specifications include…

  • Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with HTC Sense 4.0
  • 3.5 inch HVGA (320×480) display
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 chipset (likely to be the MSM7225A)
  • 600 MHz single core processor
  • 512 MB of RAM
  • 4 GB of internal storage plus a MicroSD slot
  • 5 MP camera with LED flash, 0.3 MP front facing cam
  • Beats Audio
  • Available in black, white or red

Obviously it isn't going to offer amazing performance with a processor offering the performance of a 2.5 year old flagship. Impressive in the PC world, in the mobile world; not so much. It also packs in the latest edition of Android and kind of looks like a mini HTC One X so all is not bad.

The Desire C will be rather affordable at just £160 (€200) and should be available in select European countries later this month.

KitGuru says: On the surface the HTC Desire C looks like a rather impressive budget Android.

KitGuru Games: The Best Console is the One in Your Pocket

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.
