700 bucks for a not-so-successful Android Marshmallow-powered smartphone originally released way back in May? HTC would have to be delusional to still charge that for its latest (own-brand) flagship model, especially now with the “made by Google” Pixels in the equation.But while the HTC 10’s list price is stuck at a prohibitive ...

HTC is quite stingy when it comes to first-party sales. It’s been the case for both the One M9 and the One A9 and even the One M8 as all of those phones have retained their original full retail prices for the longest time. It’s only when these Hot Deals come along that things start making sense. And hey, it’s “spring cleaning” time, so there’d better be some inventory to clear out.The One M9,

How many objectively different smartphone can one company release under the same name? And how long can it keep that routine going? When we see a manufacturer like Samsung release a flagship Galaxy phone running different SoCs in different markets, it’s one thing, but as more and more of those specs change, and more and more time passes between launches, are we really looking at multiple variants of the same smartphone, or what might be more properly talked about as fully distinct models? That’s the question we’re asking about HTC today, as we learn about

It wouldn’t be the holidays without HTC’s weekly Hot Deals offers, all ready to save you a bundle on the company’s mobile hardware. This year we’ve already seen a bunch of sales, and while none may quite hold a candle to last year’s $200 Nexus 9 blow-out, we continue to keep an eye out for the next big ...

HTC sure knows how to put smiles on the faces of US-based Android fans who normally loathe Tuesdays, keeping with the recent weekly Hot Deals tradition, and raising the savings bar as Black Friday and Cyber Monday draw near.Forget 30 percent off everything, $160 off the Nexus 9 tablet, or $150 off the Re Camera box-office flop.

What do you do when you want to build a phone that has the perfect blend of price, design, and specs? If you’re HTC, you create a Desire phone. We’ve been fairly pleased with how well the HTC Desire lineup has been performing recently and we’ve even gone as far as calling them “a mid-tier phone with flagship DNA” and “a phone with a midrange name and flagship performance”. Does the HTC Desire 626 live up to the ...
The post HTC Desire 626 Review: affordable, but it falls short of awesome appeared first on Pocketnow.
HTC is no stranger to making striking hardware that performs well, but most of us likely think of the flagship One lineup when we hear the name HTC. The Desire brand, however, is a little bit different. Way back in the day, the original HTC Desire was basically a Nexus One with an optical sensor instead of the Nexus’ roller ball. Since then the Desire family has slid into the mid-tier realm, and such is the case with the HTC Desire 626 which was just launched on AT&T.Like prior phones that carried the Desire moniker, this phone is a pleasant plastic unit with front-firing ...

Just about one month ago, HTC revealed its latest batch of affordable desire-series smartphones, the Desire 520, Desire 526, Desire 626, and Desire 626S. The manufacturer promised plenty of carrier support for the group, and named half a dozen carriers that would soon find these models operating on their networks, but a lot of specifics were missing – like who would get what, when, and sell it for how much. We started seeing those answers trickle out shortly thereafter, and today Verizon finally joins them with an announcement of its own, as the carrier gets ready to start selling the ...

For the middle of summer, a time when we’re used to seeing a lull in the smartphone market as manufacturers gear up for their big fall launches, this week sure is proving to be full of some interesting launch events. Yesterday brought us not just the Samsung Galaxy A8, but also ZTE’s affordable Axon flagship. Today we’re back to looking at the mid-range market as we check out a trio of new Desire models from HTC, with ...

We’re pretty certain at this point, because of multiple leaks and HTC hints, that the company’s March 1 press event in Barcelona will be used as the venue for the launch of its 2015 flagship smartphone. But it also may be used as a launchpad for another new device, one whose existence was picked up on last month. Now the phone has passed through Chinese certification agency TENAA, so we have some fresh images as well as some HTC Desire 626 ...

The HTC One M9 (if the company sticks to the naming convention), or the Hima (if the Hima is indeed the codename for the 2015 flagship), is obviously what we’re all looking forward to seeing at HTC’s pre-MWC special event on March 1, but, just in case HTC sticks to the 2014 plan (and decides to launch the One M9 at a special event, away from MWC), we should prepare to see some Desire phones, like last year.One of these new Desire phones which stand a great chance at becoming unveiled at Mobile World Congress is the HTC Desire 626 leaked today, and pictured above and below, ...
