HTC Desire C Officially Announced

The HTC Desire C aka the HTC Golf and the HTC Wildfire C is now official. It’s the company’s next low-end smartphone coming to win users’ hearts. On the whole, there aren’t many smartphones with HTC branding intended for this niche, thus, the Desire C can be welcomed by consumers wholeheartedly.

The phone is packed with a 3.5-inch HVGA touchscreen, a 600MHz processor with 512MB of RAM, a 5MP camera, 4GB of native storage (though HTC will give 25GB of free DropBox cloud storage), NFC support and runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with Beats Audio out of the box. It will come in black, white and red.

The first market where the Desire C will go to is the UK. Many mobile operators and retailers in face of Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile, Virgin Media, Three, O2, , The Carphone Warehouse and Tesco Mobile will offer it next month at around $275 (£169.99) off contract. Other markets will get it a bit later. So far there is no word whether this low-end Android phone will travel to the US or not.
