The HTC One M8 introduced the Dot View case to the world; a unique flip cover with a grid of holes that let the screen beneath shine through. As well as looking awesome, the case shows the time and notifications – like incoming calls, weather, battery alerts and alarms. The case proved popular, and so HTC have made Dot View cases for many of their recent phones. The latest phone to get a Dot View case is the Desire 510.
If you haven’t heard of the phone that isn’t much of a surprise; it’s an as-of-yet unannounced handset that should be the first to launch with a 64-bit processor. That processor is the Snapdragon 410, the latest from Qualcomm. It’s not clear what advantages it’ll hold over the current Snapdragon 400 mid-range option, but presumably there’ll be some performance differential.
Other specifications for the Desire 510 have been listed by the Twitter account @upleaks, which has reported a 4.7″ 854 x 480 display, a 5-megapixel camera and Android 4.4.2 on board (with a hearty helping of HTC Sense 6).
We’ll have more Desire 510 accessories in the coming weeks, as the phone is officially announced and third-party companies make their own announcements. The phone is likely to be revealed at the IFA 2014 conference in Berlin, which should also play host to new smartphones from Sony, Samsung, LG and many others.
