Hasta La Gadget!

It wasn’t too long ago that we saw the HTC Desire X’s photos leaked, and while this might not be the rumored 5” HTC device that some of you guys were looking forward to, it might still be of interest to those who wouldn’t mind getting their hands on a entry level-ranged device, a pretty good looking one at that. Based on the official press shots, it certainly looks like the Desire X is a mini version of the One X, although under the hood it is only sport a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor with 4GB of internal storage. It will also pack a 4” SLCD display, a 5MP rear-facing camera, Sense 4.1, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and Beats Audio Integration. It is scheduled for release in Europe and Asia in September, although there is no word on when it will be making its way to the US. So, any takers?

HTC is keeping a low profile at IFA 2012 this week but it does have at least one phone to reveal to the throng of tech journalists and writers making their way around Berlin, the Desire X (formerly Proto). It’s a humbler new handset for the Taiwanese manufacturer and one whose outer hardware has already toured China. It’s now been mildly adjusted (that is, improved) with one of Qualcomm’s lower-end Snapdragon S4 processors, clocked at 1GHz, while it keeps that 4-inch touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera, Beats Audio integration and 4GB of storage we saw earlier. There’s also an extra 25 gigs of free cloud storage courtesy of Dropbox, while the camera packs the same capabilities as One series devices including HDR capture, continuous shooting and the ability to capture video and stills at the same time. The device will launch across as-yet unconfirmed countries in Europe and Asia starting next month — and we’ll have a hands-on for you later today.

It seems the newest member of HTC’s mid-range smartphone line-up — previously known as the Proto — is actually the Desire X, according to several Scandinavian retailers (see coverage). Also, Hong Kong blog ePrice, who gave the new model the blurrycam treatment, claims that the specs line up with all the rumors: a 4-inch, 800 x 480 display, Android 4.0 with Sense 4.0, Beats Audio, dual-core 1GHz processor and 5-megapixel camera. HTC should formally out the phone this week at IFA, but its European presence and similarity to the China-only New Desire V means it’s likely an international version — without the continental sticker shock.
