[swatkats]

Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer HTC has updated its mid-range Desire lineup with the addition of a new smartphone. Dubbed Desire 826, the device was announced by the company at the ongoing CES in Las Vegas.

Specifications-wise, the smartphone sports a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 610 chipset (CPU clocking at 1.7GHz) and a 5.5-inch 1920x1080 display. It packs in a 13-megapixel camera on the back, an 4MP UltraPixel shooter on the front, and a 2,600mAh battery. The device has 2GB of RAM, and runs Android 5.0 with HTC Sense on top.

Other prominent features include HTC BoomSound (with Dolby Audio included) as well as HTC EYE Experience, a software suite that lets you optimise your phone's camera.

There is no word on the price at the moment, but availability details have been revealed - the HTC Desire 826 is launching in the Asia-Pacific region first, with a roll-out scheduled for later this month, although that doesn’t mean it won’t be available in other regions, given that the company has put in place a ‘tell me when’ page on its website for those who want to know when and if the device hits their country.

Where are the speakers of this thing? I don't see them. Have they moved it to the bottom edge of the phone?

ioS has been 64 bit for over two years now. Number of apps that are 64 bit on ios ? none (!)

Will you still be using this phone when 64 bit apps come to android ?

Other points that bear note. an ultrapixel shooter. first besides the one line. so you better know how to take snaps. 2gb & 5.5 inches is std for midrange. Followup to the good 816 and one assumes this latest will be dual sim active like its predecessor as well.
