HTC had a bunch of announcements in London today, but unfortunately nothing is going to blow your mind. Let's start with the Desire 600…
Desire 600
Pictured above, this is the HTC “Zara” we have been hearing an awful lot about. It's going to have a 4.5-inch qHD (950 x 540) display, a 1.4GHz dual-core Snapdragon 400 CPU, Adreno 305 GPU, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, microSD slot for expanded storage, 5MP rear camera (f/2.0 aperature and 28mm lens), VGA front-facing camera, 2,100mAh battery, HTC Zoe, BoomSound, and BlinkFeed. It will be available in red, black or white in select markets in Europe, the Middle East and Asia later this year.
Desire 300
The Desire 300 comes with a 4.3-inch WVGA (800 x 480) display, 1GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 CPU, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of storage, microSD slot for expanded storage, 5MP non UltraPixel rear camera (f/2.8 aperature and 34mm lens), VGA front-facing camera, and 1,650 mAh battery. It will be available in black or white in select markets in Europe, the Middle East and Asia later this year.
HTC One in Vivid Blue
No surprises here. It's simply the HTC One in it's new color, Vivid Blue. It will be available in select markets in Q4 and will also be an option for the HTC One mini. Earlier rumors have it showing up on Sprint on September 10, which is Q3.
BoomBass Bluetooth Subwoofer
This is very interesting device in that it compliments the BoomSound speakers that are already on newer HTC devices. How does it do this? It pairs to the phone via NFC and streams via Bluetooth 3.0. It also has a slide-out base to hold your HTC phone and the 1,200mAh battery should last about 9 hours.
When utilizing this accessory, the mid to high-range sounds will be played through the BoomSound speakers on the phone, and the low-range (bass tones) will be played through the BoomBass accessory. No pricing was specified, but it should be available next month.
