HTC Desire 600 announced, Quad Core, Dual Sim and Blinkfeed UI (PR)
It seems HTC is following in Samsung’s footsteps of dual sim Quad-core devices, as the Taiwanese company just announced the Desire 600. The Desire 600 gets most of the features from Sense 5 and the HTC One, including the popular Blinkfeed, along with some nifty camera and video features minus the ZOE camera feature. Spec wise there is a 1.2GHz Snapdragon 200 quad-core processor, an 8-megapixel primary camera capable of up to 720p video capture and a front-facing 1.6-megapixel shooter.
The front comes with a 4.5-inch Super LCD2 display (at 960 x 540 resolution),The Desire 600 picks up the same dual front-facing speaker setup of the One called BOOMSOUND,expecting a global launch of the phone, it’s currently headed to Russia, Ukraine and the Middle-East for now.
There is no word whether or not this handset will come to India, and we have reached out to HTC for an official word, as we believe it would fit right in under the Rs. 20,000 Price mark. But, considering HTC’s executive shuffle, we doubt that there will be some concrete news.
