That makes it quite a bit faster than most other mid-range handsets on the market at this price point. It&#8217;s also got a nice camera setup, with 8 megapixels on the rear and 1.6 megapixels up front. On the software front, you can expect \u00a0the phone to come with Android 4.2.2 and HTC&#8217;s Sense UI, including BlinkFeed and Highlights.<\/p>\n<p>Now we&#8217;re happy to be the first to share with you its launch price in the UK. <strong>The mid-range phone will be available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/sim-free-htc-desire-500-black-40477\">sim-free from Mobile Fun for \u00a3229.99<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>At this time, we&#8217;re not expecting the phone to arrive with either NFC or dual-sim capabilities in the UK, but both colours &#8211; lacquer black and glacier blue &#8211; should indeed be available.\u00a0It&#8217;s scheduled to arrive in mid-September, so there&#8217;s not too long to wait!<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll also have our usual wide range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/htc\/desire-500\">accessories for the Desire 500<\/a>. We&#8217;re currently adding new products so it may look a bit sparse, but rest assured we&#8217;ll have you covered by the time the phone is available!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.27.4 -->\n<div class=\"quads-location quads-ad1\" id=\"quads-ad1\" style=\"float:none;margin:0px 0 0px 0;text-align:center;\">\n<div id=\"bari-widget\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Today HTC announced its latest mid-range phone, the HTC Desire 500, will be coming to the UK.
