Aside from the Desire 320, HTC also unveiled the Desire 826 that will be gradually released in all major markets of the world. The handset comes with a 5.5-inch 1080p display and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor.
It includes all the typical HTC features including BoomSound stereo speakers that have now been slimmed down considerably, Dolby Audio support and more. The Desire 826 also comes with the company’s UltraPixel camera, though this time its located in the front to allow you to take great selfies even in poor lighting conditions.
The full specs of the Desire 826 are as follows:
- 5.5inch Full HD IPS display
- Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615
- 2GB RAM
- 16GB internal storage, microSD card slot
- WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, NFC
- 13MP f/2.0 rear camera with a single LED flash
- Front-facing 4MP UltraPixel camera
- 2600mAh battery
- Android 5.0 Lollipop with Sense UI
In certain markets, the Desire 826 will ship with dual SIM functionality. HTC’s CFO also revealed at the launch of the device that the Taiwanese OEM will now release two models in its Desire 8xx series lineup everywhere. So, while HTC releasing a successor to the 4 month old Desire 820 might seem a bit odd now, it is going to become a norm down the line.
HTC will be releasing its famed Dot View cover for the Desire 826 as well. The handset is slated to be available from the end of this month in most of the major markets of the world.
