News today of yet another new smartphone arrival, the HTC Desire L. This has just been announced in Taiwan and is a solid smartphone, very much in the usual HTC design mold. It’s a low to mid-range smartphone, so nothing to get too excited about but if you want to know more then read on.
The HTC Desire L is powered by a 1Ghz dual-core processor, has a 4.3-inch WVGA Super LCD2 display with resolution of 800 x 480, 1GB of RAM and 4B of internal storage (expandable via microSD). There’s also a 5-megapixel rear camera with wide f/2.0 aperture and 720p HD video capture capability and it has a 1800 mAh battery and Beats Audio.
As far as operating system is concerned we only know so far that it’s Android but the version has not been specified. It looks likely to be Jelly Bean though and will be skinned with HTC’s Sense UI. Dimensions of the Desire L are 128mm x 66.9mm x 8.9mm so it has a slim profile and it weighs only 118 grams so might suit those who specifically want something lightweight and not too bulky.
For those who like something a little different the handset comes in pink as well as black or white color options. Although it has been made official now for Asia there’s no news on if it will come to other regions and the price has not yet been announced although it’s expected to be competitive.
Despite all of HTC's talk about unified branding in the West, the company's model names are still diverse when looked at from a planet-wide perspective. This newest phone, the Desire L, appears to be a Taiwan-destined version of China's One SU, with the same low-end specs -- including a 4.3-inch 800 x 480 SLCD2 display, dual-core 1GHz processor and 5MP camera but a distinctly pre-One moniker. It's different strokes for different folks, just as with the Butterfly and Droid DNA though only a chosen few can boast the added distinction of coming in pink.
The Desire L has a 4.3-inch 480×800 touchscreen, a 5 MP rear camera with LED flash and 720p HD video recording, no front camera, a 1 GHz dual-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, 4 GB of built-in storage space, a microSD card slot for expansion, HSPA, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Beats Audio, and a 1,800 mAh battery. It runs a yet unknown version of Android, but it’s either 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or 4.1 Jelly Bean.
So the Desire L is basically a slightly larger version of the Desire X, with a bit more RAM thrown in for good measure. It’s unclear whether this device will ever make it to places other than Asia. For now though, it’s one more Android smartphone from HTC – the company that keeps promising it will focus on just a few models per year, but keeps breaking that promise by releasing many different near-identical handsets.
