HTC’s Desire lineup have played a major role in turning the company’s fortunes around and the Taiwanese OEM is ready to add another enticing offering to it. According to photos and information posted by @upleaks, 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 Desire 826. However, the Desire 626 will sport considerably less powerful internals, which includes  a 5-inch 720p display, a 1.7Ghz octa-core processor from MediaTek, 2GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage.

Other specs of the device will reportedly include a 13MP rear camera, a 5MP front shooter and a 2,000mAh battery. The handset will ship with Android 4.4 out of the box, but will receive the update to Android 5.0 Lollipop down the line. The toned down internals means that the Desire 626 should be quite a bit cheaper than the Desire 826.

HTC will also be releasing a single SIM variant of the Desire 626 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor and only 1GB of RAM.

It is more than likely that HTC will be announcing the Desire 626 at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. What do you think of HTC’s upcoming Desire handset? Do you think its Desire-able?
