HTC held a presentation in Taiwan today to show
off its new range of low and mid-range phones.
Dual-SIM is feature on two of the three new
phones, which all belong to the Desire lineup.

HTC Desire 700

The HTC Desire 700 is a more affordable
alternative to the HTC One, with a bigger 5"
screen but a lower resolution, qHD. Just like the
One, it packs stereo BoomSound speakers on the
front. It's powered by a quad-core Snapdragon
chipset (the S400 with four Cortex-A7 cores most
likely, details are sparse) and offers 1GB RAM.

The Desire 700 has a traditional 8MP camera with
a BSI sensor and an f/2.0 aperture, 2.1MP front-
facing camera (again with BSI sensor). The main
camera can record 1080p video and has HTC Zoe
support. The built-in storage is 8GB and there's a
microSD card.
The HTC Desire 700 is a dual-SIM phone with
HSPA support on the first SIM slot and GSM/
EDGE on the second SIM slot. Both slots are of
the micro variety. The 2,100mAh Li-Po battery
(rather small for a phone of this size) is good for
nearly 12 hours of 3G calls.
The phone is priced NTD 13,900 in Taiwan, which
works out to $470.


HTC Desire 501
If the 700 is a HTC One alternative, then the
Desire 501 looks up to the HTC One mini. It has a
4.3" WVGA screen, dual-core 1.15GHz processor
(almost certainly not a Krait, maybe it's a
Cortex-A6 like the Desire 500)
The phone has the same 8MP/2.1MP camera
combo as the 700 along with HTC ImageChip, but
strangely no Zoe support. There's no stereo
speakers on the front either.
Still, the Desire 501 is like the 700 in several
other aspects, it has 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage
with a microSD expansion slot and a 2,100mAh
battery. This gives the phone several weapons
over the One mini (card slot, bigger battery) but
the screen is no match for the 720p LCD on the
mini, nor is the CPU up to par with the Krait-
based chipset.
The 501 is not a dual-SIM phone, you can look to
the very similar HTC Desire 500 for that.
The phone will cost NTD 9,900 ($330) in Taiwan.


HTC Desire 601
The HTC Desire 601 is already official, but now it
also got a dual-SIM version. The phone is a 4.5"
version of the 701, with almost the exact same
feature set except that the main camera has been
demoted to a 5MP/1080p shooter and the internal
storage has been halved to 4GB (the microSD
card slot is still in place).
There's dual-SIM support, front-facing
BoomSound stereo speakers and a dual-core
1.2GHz processor. This one is a bit strange as
the single-SIM Desire 601 has a dual-core
1.4GHz processor.
This one is priced NTD 10,900 ($370).
HTC also showed off the Desire 300, but there's
nothing new about that. It's the cheapest of the
bunch, costing NTD 7,900 ($270).
There's no indication of which (if any) of these
phones will be available worldwide and when.
