HTC’s Nexus smartphones have been in the news quite a bit lately, but there really haven’t been any other rumored new devices in a while. That all changes with the revelation from Evan Blass that HTC is working on two separate HTC Desire 10 smartphones – the HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle and the HTC Desire 10 Pro. The HTC Desire 10 first came to light in early July, accompanied by an image which showed the camera lens, dual-LED flash and laser auto-focus.
With the revelation that there are actually two HTC Desire 10 devices, we’ve also been treated to a few specifications pertaining to the Desire 10 Lifestyle and two photos which show the design of the Desire 10 Pro.
Starting with the HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle, the phone is said to features a 5.5-inch 720p display, a quad-core Snapdragon processor, a base configuration which pairs 2GB of RAM with 16 GB of storage and a second one which has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The phone will feature backside-illuminated (BSI) sensors on the front and back with the main camera featuring a resolution of 13-magapixels and a 5-megapixel camera on the front. HTC’s Boomsound Hi-Fi Edition will also be present with 24-bit audio output which users will enjoy thanks to “higher quality earbuds” which will be included in the box.
The design of the HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle will be highlighted by metallic gold trim around the edges of the phone, antenna lines and camera lens.
Unfortunately, not much is know about the HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle’s specifications at this time. All we have to go off of is two leaked renders which show off the phone from the front-back and sides in white and dark gray. Like the Desire 10 Lifestyle, the Pro also features gold trim around the camera lens, antenna lines and the edges of the phone. We can also see that the Desire 10 Pro will be equipped with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, a main camera with dual-LED flash and laser auto-focus and a possible launch date of September 20th (the date displayed on the phone’s screen).
We can assume that the phone will feature a higher-resolution 5.5-inch display, more RAM than the Desire 10 Lifestyle and faster processor. Since September 20th isn’t too far off, we suspect the HTC’s upcoming Desire 10 phones will be making a few more appearances in the news over the next few weeks.
Based on what we know so far about the two phones, how much would you be willing to pay for the HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle and Desire 10 Pro?
