HTC Desire 601: Price and Specifications

Smart phone leader HTC announced the broadening of its mobile line-up in Berlin early this month, mainly expanding its market of midrange phones. The latest addition to the lineup is the HTC Desire 601 handset. Its aim is to bring sufficient battery power to the phone having a more modest price than the HTC One products. It was announced in September 2013 and is estimated to be released worldwide in October 2013. Currently, HTC Desire One is priced at around 25,000 INR($401.74), which comes out to be quite a reasonable deal for an LTE phone. It is also popularly known as “Zara”.

The key features of this are:

  1. Entertainment in a flash – The Cat 3 LTE provides blazing fast speed for music and video streaming. A built-in speaker amp provides life like sound quality.
  2. Inspiring sound quality – A dual frontal stereo speaker adds more quality for a richer audio
  3. Stay-up-to-the-minute- It automatically updates the home screen every minute and refreshes every time it is turned on.
  4. Fully equipped with HTC Sense, BlinkFeed (see software), HTC BoomSound and HTC ZOE (see camera).

Display

HTC Desire 601 has a TFT Capacitive Touchscreen with a size of 540 x 960 pixels packed in 4.5 inches, which results in a pixel density of 245ppi. The body has dimensions of 134.5 x
66.7 x 9.9 mm and weighs 130 g. It is available in standard colours of black, silver and red. The screen is surrounded by a rubberised polycarbonate in a way that it sits nicely in one’s hand. The materials may not feel premium (because of the lower price), but it is far from having a cheap look.
