HTC's Octacore Desire 616 to be priced at $240* unlocked

HTC has been collecting profits and reputation in the Global smartphone market thanks to the HTC One M8 , which is one of the top smartphones of the year ,Although the recent quarter profits leveled the earlier chain of losses , HTC is determined in taking home that advantage by launching attractive handsets for "affordable" prices in Strategic regions such as Asia ,and with the new HTC Desire 616 , the company hopes to do just that .

Priced at $240 , the phone at first thought looks rather expensive , but we have to keep in mind that the price is a conversion figure from converting 298 Singaporean dollars into US$ so taxes may be included . The Desire 616 is said to be available only in the Asian region so don't expect to see it popping into a network carrier in Europe or North Am. The phone has a 1.4Ghz Octacore Mediatek processor with 1GB RAM ,4GB of local storage with support for MicroSD card slot and a removable 2000mAh battery . The phone features HTC Sense 5.5 overlay on top of Android 4.2.2 which is conveniently displayed on a 5" 720p SLCD display . The phone has a 8MP rear camera with 1080p Recording and a 2 MP front facing one .

Availability is expected to be limited to countries in the Asian region with priority going to Russia and China , where the handset is already on sale as we read , other countries will get the $240 phone adjusted according to local taxes which will obviously result in the phone appearing somewhere in the middle of the price game

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
