Mumbai: HTC has been launching a lot of phones lately and by the looks of it, it has no plans of slowing down. The company is all set to introduce the Desire 628 Dual SIM, according to a listing on the company’s Vietnam website.
While only images and speculated specifications were doing rounds on social media a few days back, the company’s listing has confirmed the arrival of the device, either this month or the upcoming one.
According to previous leaks, the handset will have a predominantly plastic built, and will employ rounded edges. One of the highlighting facets on this device is BoomSound speakers with the ability to play 24-bit audio.
While the specs sheet for the Desire 830 and 628 are more or less identical, there are subtle differences in size, processor, and camera. In terms of display, the device has a 5-inch HD screen; just a bit smaller than the Desire 830.
As the name suggests, the smartphone comes along with support for dual SIMs. In terms of connectivity, it comes equipped with 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Users can expect the new device to run on Android Marshmallow (V6.0), with the company’s native Sense UI on top.
Under the hood, the smartphone will feature an unspecified 1.3 GHz Octa-core SoC, which is rumoured to be a MediaTek MT6753, but nothing is concretely mentioned. It also gets 3GB RAM for faster multitasking.
Moving on to the camera, the handset gets a 13MP primary camera setup with f/2.0 aperture and a 5MP front snapper with f/2.4 aperture. The Desire 628’s camera is a little scaled down in comparison to the Desire 830’s 4MP Ultrapixel camera.
The storage option is also good on this device; it accompanies internal storage of 32GB which can be expanded to 2TB via microSD support. The handset also comes with a 2200mAh battery with fast charging functionality.
Internal storage is set to reach 32GB, which can be expanded to 2TB with the help of a microSD card. The phone’s components will draw power from a 2200 mAh battery with fast charging support.
The company has not yet confirmed when the device will be launched but it is most likely to be released in Vietnam first, followed by other parts of the world including China.
