HTC has unveiled a new pair of #powerof10 devices — the HTC Desire 10 Pro and Desire 10 Lifestyle — which are designed to fit in to an incredibly competitive mid-range market. However, it doesn’t look particularly like the devices are ready for the slugfest as one of them comes equipped with a 3-year-old entry-level processor.

HTC launched a bunch of new Desire smartphones during this year’s Mobile World Congress, but despite sporting a new freckly aesthetic inspired by “streetwear fashion” we’re not terribly impressed.
Sometimes it’s all about the feel: What’s the best phone you’ve held?

Pick up your phone, yes that one. The one that’s never more than an arm’s reach from you at all times. The one that has probably been in the bathroom with you more times than the toilet roll has. Yes, that one.
Of course, if you’re already reading this on your smartphone then I do apologise for being an idiot by choosing this intro, but I digress.
How does your smartphone feel? And no, I don’t mean this in a metaphorical out-of-body-experience sense, I mean this in a literal sense. We spend every waking moment (some sleeping) of our lives holding onto a little brick that probably weighs no more than a really heavy spoon at a posh restaurant, but most of us put little to no thought into how a device feels in the hand when deciding on a purchase. It’s all about specs and that’s rather unfortunate.

HTC has just introduced two new dual-SIM smartphones that share quite a few bits in common, with the exception of screen size and a few other features.
Both devices will be sporting the same octa-core 1.7GHz MediaTek MT6592 CPU as well as 1GB RAM, 8GB storage and 2,600mAh battery. They will also be running on HTC Sense UI 6.0 based on Android 4.4.2 KitKat. The processor is also the same one that’s under the hood of the dual SIM Redmi Note so performance wise the devices should be relatively similar.

As we look forward to the new year, many are getting excited about HTC’s new M9 flagship aka the Hima. But don’t put your hopes high just yet as their CES teaser is pointing towards a new HTC Desire smart phone. The event image that’s posted on Weibo carries the tagline “Always Desire more” and it is happening at 5AM on 6th January in local Malaysia/Beijing Time.
With that, we expect a newer Desire model that could potentially be a level higher than its current HTC Desire EYE. The new Hima flagship is more significant and HTC is likely to announce it on a separate special event, just like Samsung’s Unpacked series. Who knows, it could be at MWC 2015 which is happening on the first week of March 2015.
