HTC has just officially announced its latest budget offering, the HTC Desire 200.
We heard yesterday about an upcoming new budget Android smartphone from HTC that was leaked before it had been announced and even starred in a hands on video.
The Desire 200's spec list includes a 3.5-inch 480x320 touchscreen on
its face along with a 5-megapixel camera around back. Crammed inside the
handset's smallish frame is a 1GHz Snapdragon S1 processor, 4GB
storage, microSD card slot for additional memory and 512MB RAM. There's
also support for 7.2Mbps HSPA, and a 1,230mAh battery powers the entire
package. Rounding out the feature list is an undisclosed version of
Android running beneath HTC's Sense overlay and an "Intelligent Display"
feature that HTC says will automatically resize text for easier
viewing, store articles for offline viewing and allow users to zoom in
and dial a phone number with a single step.
The removable 1,230 mAh battery is
promised to provide users up to 7.5 hours of 3G talk time or 812 hours
of standby. Connectivity comes in the form of Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n,
Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, microUSB, and 3G HSDPA.
Pricing and availability of the HTC
Desire 200 are unknown at this point, but it’s just a matter of time
until major retailers and carriers are ready to share this info.
