While many are waiting for HTC to reveal its next premium flagship smartphone, the One M10, the tech manufacturer still has plans to expand its other product lineups. According to recent sightings, an unannounced addition to the Desire lineup will appear soon.
GSM Arena reported that a Desire 530 smartphone was recently sighted on a Dutch retailer's website. According to the industry follower, the listing did not give any specs of the upcoming smartphone, but the details included in the post might give clues on what the new Desire will be.
In terms of pricing, the €190 tag is a giveaway, placing the Desire 530 as a budget-friendly, entry-level product. Since the iteration will be a part of the Desire lineup, it might carry mid-range specs.
The post also mentioned that the retailer will have the Desire 530 in stock later this month, which might also be a clue as to when HTC plans to launch the device. This year's Mobile World Congress is happening on Feb. 22 to 25, and the supposed Feb. 23 outing of the Desire 530 might coincide with an MWC unveiling.
It was also listed on the retailer's website that the Desire 530 will be available in two color options, White Stratus and Graphite Gray.
Android Headlines added that since HTC designates its upgrades with branded numbers, the Desire 530 looks to be a follow-up to the currently-available Desire 526. This means that the upcoming desire may have upgraded the specs of the Desire 526, which was launched last August with a 4.7-inch qHD display and a quad-core Snapdragon 210 processor, partnered with 1.5 GB of RAM.
The current-gen Desire runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop and is featured with an 8-MP main camera on the rear with LED flash, while the front camera is 2-MP.
