Many months ago, when we used to have clouds here in the UK, the HTC Desire 12 was announced. Today we’re hearing that the device will be available from Amazon on July 14th from this link, but you can pre-order it now for just £149. For your money …
Remember the HTC Desire 11? Do you? Well, there wasn’t one. Not as far as we know. There was a HTC Desire 10, but no 11. How have we got to 12? We can only presume it’s to stop people getting confused with the HTC U11 we reviewed. …
With Mobile World Congress happening next month, the very last thing we expected to see was a new handset from HTC in early January. That, though, is what we have – the Desire 650. There’s a bit of a backstory to this one. It appeared on the Taiwanese …
I’ve started to develop a bit of a habit now – leaving the house without my wallet. At work the canteen and the vending machines all use contactless payments. When I get fuel – call it Apple Pay, call it Android Pay – the petrol station, the supermarket, …
Well, we knew that the Desire 10 was coming and, just seconds ago, it was announced on the HTC website. The Desire 10 is a metallic, stylish handset with a full glass frontage and 5.5″ HD screen. The one you’ll be getting in the UK has a 13 …
What are you doing on Tuesday morning? Well, we’re going to be at a swanky launch party in the West End of London. We’ll be eating canapés, drinking free champagne, meeting the….. ..wait. Ah no. It’s another one of those “web” launches from HTC. Gah.. what happen to …
HTC have had a pretty tough time of it recently, and their range of handsets has definitely throttled back compared to years gone by. Remember the HTC Wildfire, ChaCha, Sensation, Rhyme and Butterfly ? The Desire series has outlasted all of them. If memory serves, we first saw …
Right! We’ve got the HTC Desire 530. There wasn’t a huge launch at Barcelona for this particular one, just a press release and a couple on the stand. I think it’s safe to say that there wasn’t a huge crush around the display either. The Desire 530 handsets …
HTC decided to quietly push out this handset here in Barcelona. No big launch, no explosions, just a funky mid-range handset. Well, three actually, but we’ll get to the other two in a minute. They all have an extremely similar design and this, the HTC Desire 530, packs …
Three new handsets were announced by HTC today at the MWC 2016, namely 530, 630 and 825 as part of the Desire range. The new handsets have been inspired by urban street wear and are designed to bridge the gap between fashion and consumer electronics. Using a specially created …
Think HTC and you’ll invariably think of the HTC One handsets. They’re beautiful. They’re well-built and they’re feature-rich. However, they’re also pretty expensive, so what about those who want a taste of HTC but don’t quite have the cash? The Desire 626 is a device I’ve had as …
Well, no big launch event for this particular handset. It’s billed as a mid-range smartphone and features a Snapdragon 1.2GHz quad-core CPU with a 13 megapixel rear camera and a 5 megapixel front one. It’s the successor to the HTC Desire 620, which was basically an upgraded HTC Desire …
Remember the HTC Desire 610? That had a 4.7″ qHD screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 1.2 GHz quad-core CPU and 8GB on-board. The 620, however, has had a bit of an upgrade with a slightly bigger 5″ 720×1280 screen but similar specs everywhere else. The 620 is now available …
According to @upleaks Taiwanese phone manufacturer HTC is working on a mid-range handset dubbed the Desire 626. From the leaked images, the Desire 626 looks very similar to HTC’s current mid-range Desire handset the 826. However, the Desire 626 will sport considerably less powerful internals, which includes :- 5-inch …
It really doesn’t seem that long since the HTC Desire 310 was revealed to the world. Now here’s the successor, the HTC Desire 320, which will be available “soon” in the UK. It’s an entry-level smartphone designed to get you hooked into this wonderous gadgety world and hopefully …
HTC have been around for many years now. They’ve produced some really top end devices such as the HTC Sensation, HTC One X and even back to the HTC Desire which at the time was a specification powerhouse. The problem seems to be so many people still walk …
Compared to how things were just a few years ago, it feels like ages since the last Desire appeared. This, the Desire EYE, certainly feels like it’s got a sense of 820 about it. All the usual HTC goodies are here – all the stuff we love. BoomSound, …
HTC are just announcing all the details of their new products over in New York, the HTC Desire EYE is one interesting device with dual 13 megapixel cameras. We have now heard that in the UK this will be exclusive to Three. It will be launched in the …
It’s that time of year again and HTC have a big stage primed and ready for some new products to keep us warm this winter. We’re guessing that there’ll be a new handset and some sort of clever camera gadget, but you’ll find out more at 9PM UK …
Remember our review of the HTC Desire 816? It was a lightweight phablet with a 5.5″ 720p screen, 1.6 GHz quad-core CPU and 8GB of on-board storage. We quite liked it. Here, then, is the pretty similar Desire 820. It looks the same on the outside and has …
The HTC mid-range 4G Desire 610 looks set to arrive exclusively to UK network Three in a stunning new Coral colour. The specs of the device remain the same, with its 144.1 x 70.5 x 9.6mm frame, 4.7 inch qHD screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 1.2 GHz quad-core CPU …
This handset has a lot of the features I’ve seen on the HTC One M8. I mean sure, if you fire up the camera you won’t have the Zoe camera option, or the Pan 360 setting, or that rather clever “Dual capture” options, but you still get those …
It’s dawned on me that I’ve got three handsets here which are pretty interesting. I’m also aware that I’ve not published one of our “Week with” features for some time, so this could be an ideal combination. In my possession I’ve got the HTC Desire 816, which has …
In February we managed to get a brief hands on the Desire 816. Sadly we didn’t get long with it and, at the time, nobody was allowed to turn it on. This week we’ve got some proper hands-on time with the handset. I’ve already fiddled with it for …
HTC are being a little coy about this one. We can’t turn it on and there’s not many of them on the stand, but the new Desire looks pretty swish indeed. I managed to get a hands-on with the device and, although it’s not made from cool aluminium …
Remember our HTC Desire 500 review? Well, this is the Desire 300, and it’s a …. bit… different. The Desire 500 has a quad-core 1.2GHz CPU, an 8 megapixel and 1.6 megapixel camera. This Desire 300 has a dual-core 1GHz CPU and a 5 megapixel shooter with a …
Last September HTC announced the Desire 601. It’s a mid-range device with a 4.5″ QHD display and the video montage feature we also saw on the Desire 500. The handset also includes a dual-core 1.4GHz CPU, which – despite the fact it’s called the Desire 601 – actually …
Following our full HTC Desire 500 review last month, Three have announced availability online and in-store. Prices are pretty good too, with just £18 getting you 100 minutes per month, 5000 texts and unlimited data (24 month contract). You can choose to notch up to 500 minutes and …
It’s got many of the HTC One features, but it’s much cheaper. Currently you can pick one up unlocked for less than £200, so does the HTC Desire 500 perform? Specs Weight – 123g Dimensions – 131.8 x 66.9 x 9.9mm Display – 4.3″ WVGA CPU – Quad-core …
Take yourself a quad-core 1.2GHz CPU, 4GB of on-board storage (plus a microSD card slot for more space) and a 4.3″ WVGA screen. Sounds good so far. Add a dash of GPS, a 3.5mm audio port, Bluetooth 4.0, DLNA, WiFi and the Beats Audio technology. All this stuff, …
One of the problems that HTC have suffered from in the recent past is having too many handsets to choose from and thus the consumer doesn’t know which one is best for them. Well, HTC have clearly learned from the past and decided to release only one handset …
In a move contradictory to the whole “One” ethos HTC have some more handsets to release. Only for China mobile though so don’t get too excited. The first device is the HTC Desire P. Which seems to be a refreshed HTC One SV. It’s a medium sized device …
Back in February we saw HTC making a big decision. The HTC One Series meant that the company would concentrate on a core group of handsets – the One X, One S and One V. It was clear. The One X was the power-house. The One S was …
We reviewed the HTC Desire C when it was selling for £189 unlocked. The 600MHz CPU struggled a little with serious browsing and the camera quality wasn’t stellar, but now it’s down to just £87.26 if you’re upgrading in store and online at Carphone Warehouse. The pay as …
My introduction to the Android platform came through the original HTC Desire. One of my bosses walked up to me knowing my love for phones and showed me his brand spanking new piece of kit, complete with scrolling widgets and all shiny and new. My search for a …
Looks like the new Xperia flagship phone has leaked onto the internet, well the specs at least, we still don’t have an idea what it looks like yet but with these specifications it looks to be one awesome imaging device Below are the list of specs rumored to …
With Nokia switching most of their efforts to Windows Phone there’s very few “featurephones” coming onto the market. It’s left the door open for cheaper Android smartphones which, despite dropping a few specs here and there, still give owners access into the large range of apps and games …
HTC have sent us their new, and very red, Desire C. Previously known as the “Golf” this does remind me of the HTC Wildfire now that I’ve got it in my hand. The Desire C has only a 600MHz CPU and 3.5″ 320×480 pixel screen, but the rather …
Yeah I know, I bet you thought that we’d only see the “One” handsets from HTC this year. Wrong. Since the HTC One X, HTC One V and HTC One S appeared we’ve seen the HTC Desire C and now this, the slightly confusing HTC Desire V. I …
Everyone is pretty skint at the moment so, although we weren’t expecting it, the Desire C is pretty good value. You can pick one up on Pay As You Go with Three for £149.99. Their “All in One 15″ package costs £15 and gives 30-day access to all-you-can-eat …
