The HTC Desire 610 is a mid- range smartphone from the Taiwanese company HTC that was officially presented at the end of February. At the time we were able to know all its specifications, but it was not until today that a leak has allowed us to know that the starting price of the HTC Desire 610 will be approximately 290 euros. Despite the fact that it is an extra-official data, everything indicates that this will be its price range when it begins to be available in stores (at the beginning of May).
The leak of the price of the HTC Desire 610 has arisen from an English distributor who has established the reserve price of this terminal at 290 euros (235 pounds to be more specific). Considering its price, the truth is that the HTC Desire 610 will have it really difficult to gain a foothold in the European market. With terminals such as the Motorola Moto G (which can be purchased today for about 170 euros), the Sony Xperia M2 (with a price also set at 290 euros approximately) or even the LG G2 Mini (the most expensive of all, 350 euros), the Taiwanese are entering a highly competitive market that is not easy to conquer.
Still, let's take a look at the specifications of the HTC Desire 610 to find out if it really is a mobile to take into account within the mid-range. The screen of this smartphone has a size of 4.7 inches and a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels. Inside the HTC Desire 610 we find a processor four cores operating at a clock speed of 1.2 GHz in company with a memory RAM of 1 gigabyte. The internal storage capacity is set at 8 GigaBytes, expandable through a microSD cardup to 64 GigaBytes. The operating system installed as standard is Android in its version of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. The main camera incorporates a sensor of eight megapixels, while the front camera has a sensor of 1.3 megapixels. And to finish we have the battery, whose capacity is 2,040 milliamps.
And what do these specifications mean compared to the competition? If we compare it with the Motorola Moto G, we will see that the specifications are very similar (the Moto G does not incorporate microSD card slots and its main camera is five megapixels, although on the other hand it should be noted that its operating system could be updated very soon to Android 4.4.2 KitKat). The Sony Xperia M2 offers roughly identical technical specifications. And finally, the LG G2 Mini seems to stand out in this duel by offering somewhat higher specifications that are summarized in the incorporation of the Android 4.4.2 KitKat operating system.installed as standard and in the presence of a 2,440 milliamp capacity battery. Still, the four terminals share a very similar base.
