HTC unveils Desire 510 with 64-bit processor

HTC has announced Desire 510, a 4G LTE-enabled budget smartphone. HTC has not revealed the exact timeline for the launch but has said that the phone will be available in selected regions in Europe and Asia as well as through select carriers in the US.


Available in terra white and meridian grey colours, the phone sports a polycarbonate chassis and borrows design cues from HTC Desire 816. It features a 4.7-inch FWVGA (480x854p).

HTC Desire 510 is powered by a 64-bit, 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor. It is the first smartphone to be powered by Qualcomm's 64-bit processor. However, with just 1GB RAM, it's unlikely that the phone would benefit from the new processor. Also, Android 4.4 KitKat, the OS the phone currently runs, doesn't support 64-bit processors though the upcoming Android L OS does.

Desire 510 sports a 5MP rear camera and a VGA front-facing camera. It comes with 8GB internal storage and a microSD card slot that supports cards of up to 128GB capacity.

The phone supports 3G, Wi-Fi and 4G LTE bands 800, 1800 and 2600MHz, Bluetooth 4.0, DLNA and GPS. The phone doesn't support Indian 4G bands. It has a 2100mAh removable battery.

"The industry has been talking about the 4G effect for so long now that it's easy to forget that only a small selection of top-end devices are taking advantage of the technology," says Peter Chou, CEO, HTC Corporation. "Owning the latest and greatest technology shouldn't be reserved for those with the highest budgets. People today should expect their smartphones to double as mobile entertainment hubs. This means ensuring that they're fully loaded with the latest movies, TV shows and albums, by taking advantage of the super-fast network speeds available. The HTC Desire 510 does this and more, making it the perfect mobile media device."
