New HTC Desire phone revealed with a 64-bit octa-core and 2560 x 1440 display
We are told this one isn’t a flagship, but it sure sounds like one based on the specs. The HTC A55 is a Desire phone that seems a lot like the upcoming One (M9) Plus. Perhaps it will be a plastic version of it with a slightly toned down processor
The specs include a 5.5-inch Quad HD (2560 x 1440) display, a 2.0 GHz 64-bit octa-core MediaTek MT6795 (as opposed to a Snapdragon 810) processor, 3 GB of RAM, 20 MP rear camera, 13 MP or 4 MP Ultra Pixel front camera, BoomSound, less than 3,000 mAh battery, Bluetooth 4.1, Android 5.0, and Sense 7.0.
The launch date is February 2015, which is even before the March 1st unveiling of the One (M9) and One (M9) Plus.
The Desire brand is usually reserved for the economical devices, but this one appears to be at the upper echelon of that category. We should see it at Mobile World, Congress so stay tuned.
