First leaked in the month of March, the octa-core processor running HTC Desire 616 has now been launched in Singapore for price tag of SGD 298 (roughly Rs. 14,335).
Listed on HTC's Hong-Kong website, the Desire 616 has been reported to have also been launched in China, and is now on sale across North Asia, South Asia and Russia also, as per The Next Web.
It has been further reported that the Taiwanese smartphone maker currently has no plans on making the Desire 616 available anywhere outside Asia for now, as per an HTC spokesperson. For now, the company has not provided the Android version the phone runs on.
As per the listing, the HTC Desire 616 smartphone sports a 5-inch display with an HD (720x1280 pixels) resolution. The dual-SIM smartphone supports one regular SIM, and one Micro-SIM.
The smartphone is powered by a 1.4GHz octa-core processor paired with 1GB of RAM. While the processor is unspecified on the website, our previous report indicated the handset to feature aMediaTek-made octa-core processor.
Besides housing an 8-megapixel rear and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, the HTC Desire 616 is also capable of recording full-HD resolution video. While the smartphone comes with 4GB of inbuilt storage, it can also house up to 32GB external storage via microSD card.
The wireless connectivity options for the Desire 616 feature Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, GPS, GPRS/ EDGE and 3G. Available in White and Black colour variants, the smartphone is backed by a 2000mAh battery, which is rated to give up to 14 hours of talktime in 3G connectivity. Desire 616 measures 142x71.9x9.15mm and weighs 150 grams.
Last week, HTC announced the dual-SIM variant of its flagship, called HTC One (M8) Dual SIM, priced at EUR 799 (approximately Rs. 65,100) for select markets. Other than the dual-SIM capabilities, the HTC One (M8) Dual SIM offers the same specifications as the single-SIM variant.
