HTC announces entry-level Desire 500 with quad-core Snapdragon 200 processor
HTC has announced a new device for those who aren’t looking to drop half a dozen hundreds on a new smartphone. It’s the entry-level HTC Desire 500, a quad-core Snapdragon 200 processor device clocked at 1.2GHz. That decently-specced processor is coupled with 1GB of RAM. All of that is used to power an experience that will be thrown onto a 4.3inch WVGA display.
Also inside is 4GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD card slot), an 8 megapixel BSI sensor with HD video recording, a 1.6 megapixel front-facing camera, an 1,800mAh battery, Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi N, GPS, and more.
The device also runs Android with HTC Sense 5, which we can use to assume that it comes with at least Android 4.1.2 (HTC’s official spec listing doesn’t give a clear answer either way). An exciting device it isn’t, but for those who don’t want to drop too much money to have a smartphone it should be a very capable offering.
