HTC Desire X stars in a promo video, tells us all about its cool features

HTC recently announced a budget dual-core Android phone – the HTC Desire X. A new promo video for the phone tries to highlight its strong suits. Just like its big siblings, the Desire X packs Beats Audio and a 5MP camera with a BSI sensor, F/2.0 aperture and ImageChip for burst shooting.

Hop after the break, to see what else HTC thinks the Desire X has going for it.

The video touts the HTC Desire X dual-core processor – and indeed that’s one of the best bits of the device’s specs sheet. The HTC Desire X uses a Snapdragon S4 Play chipset, which unfortunately is pretty far from its Krait-based S4 companions. The phone has a MSM8225 chipset with two Cortex-A5 cores at 1GHz, 768MB of RAM and Adreno 203 graphics.

The video also mentions the screen – the 4? WVGA Super LCD screen – and the Beats Audio integration. By the way, the Desire X also supports Apt-X for it’s Bluetooth audio streaming.

HTC Desire C review: Welcome aboard

Introduction

Are you a seasoned Android user looking for ICS on a budget or a learner ready for that big step into smartphones? Is it the journey or the destination? HTC will be pleased to welcome you on board either way. And they're making sure you start on the right foot.

Meet the Desire C. The little one at the feet of giants. The adopted child of the blue-bloods in the One family. The HTC Desire C is about half the size of a One X and has only a fraction of its processing power but the C in the name doesn't only signify compact, it also stands for comfort and capability.

The Taiwanese have a solid record in the entry-level smartphone segment. To be fair, their pricing is not the most competitive but the build, fit and finish of their smartphones are hard to beat. Beauty anyway is in the eye of the beholder, so here are the solid facts about the Desire C.

Key features

• Light and compact


• Quad-band GSM and dual-band 3G support


• 14.4 Mbps HSDPA, 5.76 Mbps HSUPA support


• 3.5" 16M-color TFT capacitive touchscreen of HVGA resolution (320 x 480)


• 600MHz single-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 MSM7227A chipset, Cortex A5 CPU, 512MB RAM, Adreno 200 GPU


• Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) with HTC Sense 4 UI


• Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with hotspot functionality


• GPS with A-GPS connectivity


• 5 MP camera, geotagging, face detection


• VGA video @ 24fps


• microUSB port (charging) and stereo Bluetooth v3.0


• microSD slot (up to 32GB)


• Standard 3.5 mm audio jack


• Accelerometer, proximity sensor


• Polaris Office doc viewer / editor


• 25GB of free Dropbox


• Stereo FM radio with RDS


• Smart dialing


• DivX/XviD video support


• HTCSense.com integration


• Adobe Flash support


• Surprisingly good audio output

Main disadvantages

• Feeble CPU


• Modest retail package


• Fixed-focus camera


• No front-facing camera

That's a long list of features showing HTC have done their homework. Entry-level phones are usually ranked by the best bang-for-the-buck and the Desire C appears equipped well above the average. The biggest doubt is cast by the single-core 600MHz Cortex A5 processor but running Ice Cream Sandwich right out of the box is a nice way to make amends. This market is all about give and take.

The Desire C is super compact and lightweight for an amazingly comfortable feel in hand. It's still very well put together and oozes the usual HTC quality. Follow us after the break for more on the design and construction.

HTC Wildfire C live pictures are here, to be called Desire C

We first heard about HTC Golf back in March, thanks to a leaked camera sample. Then we saw a believable enough official render and we heard the phone would be called Wildfire C.

What we got today is the first live pictures of the device. It looks just like in those rendered images, but packs a different paintjob. Also, the image source claims, the smartphone will be called Desire C instead of Wildfire C.

HTC Desire C

The Desire C is rumored to feature a 3.5-inch HVGA screen, a single-core 800MHz or 1GHz processor, a 5 megapixel snapper, a front-facing video-call camera, 512MB RAM, 4 gigs of storage, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 and a microSD slot.

The Desire C should be the HTCs most affordable droid running on Ice Cream Sandwich (with Sense UI 4.0 on top). It will probably be announced quite soon, as the release should happen by the end of June.
