HTC Desire 825 with 2GB RAM & 13MP Camera Announced at MWC 2016

These handsets will be rolled out to the market starting March 2016, in a wide variety of colours – the 630 and 825 in stratus white remix with duo colour micro splash and graphite grey remix with gold micro splash, and the 530 in graphite grey and solid stratus white block colours.

Finally, at the top of the totem pole we have the Desire 825.

Its slightly more powerful counterpart, the Desire 630, has a 1.6GHz Snapdragon 400 processor with 2GB RAM and a 2,200mAh battery.

“Anyway, the phone itself features a roomy 5.5” Super LCD with a disappointingly low 720p resolution.

“Micro-splash design” is HTC’s new visual style for its Desire phones. You get the same 720p display, but this time at 5.5-inches. The Desire 825 comes supporting Hi-Res Audio. HTC wouldn’t let us snap photos of anything but the back of the phone, since it still isn’t final hardware. It does include the same 16GB of storage and microSD slot as the other Desire models, but its rear camera has been bumped down to an 8-megapixel shooter.

The HTC Desire 630 is essentially a slimmed down version of its costlier sibling namely the Desire 825. Unlike the One A9, there’s no fingerprint sensor but the HTC’s trademark BoomSound front-facing speakers has made a return for superior audio quality.

The dual speaker system is carried forward from the Desire 825 along with the presence of Hi-Res audio. The device rocks a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front camera, and carries a 2,200 mAh battery.

The Desire 530 is the cheapest of the Desire sibling that were launched at the MWC in Barcelona.

Powering the Desire 530 is a modest Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 1.0GHz processor, 1.5GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage. The display however is carried forward from Desire 630. We really mean a budget though, as the Desire 825 also has just a 720p HD display, much alike last-years budget-minded ZTE Grand X Max+, meaning a really big, zoomed up feel on the smartphone, compared to the more vivid and higher resolution experience you’d get from LG’s latest flagship, the LG G5. On the software front, they all come with Android Marshmallow pre-installed and the two more premium handsets apparently also come with the “Live Make-Up” feature as part of their camera software, which allows users to touch-up their images on the go. It worth noting that the fate of HTC in India will majorly rely on the pricing strategy of these smartphones. The situation is in fact gloomier in the mid-range segment.
