HTC has expanded its mid-range smartphone portfolio in the form of the new Desire 616, a dual SIM handset with an octa-core processor for $240.
The first octa-core smartphone by HTC, the Desire 616 is a 5-inch device with a 720p HD display. With 1GB of RAM, 4GB internal storage with up to 32GB external expansion, and an 8MP camera (with 1080p video recording capability), it’s decently equipped for a mid-range smartphone yet offered in a more reasonable price than the company’s premium One series of handsets. Along with the usual connectivity options, there’s also a 2000mAh removable battery onboard.
