Although we didn\u2019t see a flagship, the Taiwanese company did show off its latest budget-friendly Desire phones, all adorned with \u2018micro splash\u2019 designs that HTC says were inspired by street fashion. Let\u2019s take a closer look.<\/p>\n<p>There are three new Desire phones in all, the 530, 630 and 825. All come with the micro splash design, which add multicoloured speckles to a solid colour. HTC have chosen some pretty solid colourways too, from a night sky blue or black, to a cheerful light red or white. The plastic phones don\u2019t compare to higher-end devices made from metal or glass, but they\u2019re still pretty enough.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/desireinline.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-53051\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-53051 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/desireinline.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"715\" height=\"656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/desireinline.jpg 715w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/desireinline-300x275.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/desireinline-450x413.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 715px) 100vw, 715px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Aside from their colourful designs, these Android smartphones aren\u2019t too notable. They offer varying degrees of meagre specifications, with the Desire 530 sitting at the bottom of the pile with a 5-inch 720p display. It\u2019s powered by a Snapdragon 210 1.1 GHz quad-core processor backed with 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable storage. There\u2019s an 8-megapixel camera on the back, a 5-megapixel selfie cam up front and a 2,200mAh battery keeping it all going.<\/p>\n<p>The Desire 630 boasts a more powerful (but older) Snapdragon 400 1.6GHz quad-core processor, backed with 2GB of RAM. It also has a second SIM slot and a better 13-megapixel rear camera; otherwise it offers the same specs as its little brother.<\/p>\n<p>The Desire 825 is the leader of this merry little band, with single and dual-SIM versions, a 5.5-inch 720p display, BoomSound stereo speakers and a 2,700mAh battery. Otherwise, it\u2019s the same as the Desire 630.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/htc-desire-530-630-825.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-53052\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-53052\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/htc-desire-530-630-825.png\" alt=\"htc-desire-530-630-825\" width=\"1410\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/htc-desire-530-630-825.png 1410w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/htc-desire-530-630-825-300x191.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/htc-desire-530-630-825-768x490.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/htc-desire-530-630-825-450x287.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1410px) 100vw, 1410px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One point in HTC\u2019s favour is that all three phone will run Android 6.0 Marshmallow when they\u2019re released later this month. HTC\u2019s Sense software will run on top, but it should be quite light and not a big deal either way.<\/p>\n<p>Here at Mobile Fun, we\u2019ll be supporting each phone with cases and accessories.
