<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCs9QtE8pKKsttwMPmKKM7XPFdr6NWXoum3azz3UihJqKnf-AsQhpDLyOv6CaGpAKCeYQOcGqVmjAlraIl8rwOZTy37kFDWUXHWrdJMOvOj8mX8PogpviXxW-2oIjtVo_rMKaURvw5m2U/s1600/HTC-Desire-700.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCs9QtE8pKKsttwMPmKKM7XPFdr6NWXoum3azz3UihJqKnf-AsQhpDLyOv6CaGpAKCeYQOcGqVmjAlraIl8rwOZTy37kFDWUXHWrdJMOvOj8mX8PogpviXxW-2oIjtVo_rMKaURvw5m2U/s1600/HTC-Desire-700.jpg" /></a></div> HTC has announced a new high-end phone in its lineup, the Desire 700. The phone comes with dual-sim connectivity and a 5″ display on the front.<br /> The display is of qHD resolution so the phone certainly isn’t meant to compete with the company’s <a href="http://rexhacker.blogspot.com/2013/08/htc-one-launched-in-pakistan.html" target="_blank">One flagship</a>. The design certainly has taken inspiration from that phone though. With its aluminium shell and BoomSound speakers, it isn’t difficult to tell where the inspiration from the phone has come from.<br /> As of the hardware side, the phone comes with a quad-core SnapDragon 400 processor with 1 GB worth RAM. Amount of storage is set at 8 GB expandable.<br /> <div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"> </div> Towards the back is an 8 megapixel camera with a BSI sensor, LED Flash and 1080p Full HD video recording. A front-facing 2.1 mp camera with BSI can also be found.<br /> The phone runs on Android Jelly Bean and comes with a few customizations from its manufacturer’s side, including HTC Zoe.<br /> The Desire 700 is powered by a 2100 mAh battery which can provide talk-time of 12 hours on 3G. Here are the full specs of the Desire 700:<br /> <ul> <li>Android Jelly Bean customized with Sense UI</li> <li>5″ LCD display with qHD resolution of 540 x 960 pixels</li> <li>Dual-Sim support</li> <li>Quad-core SnapDragon 400 processor</li> <li>1 GB RAM with 8 GB expandable storage</li> <li>8 megapixel camera with BSI, LED Flash and 1080p Full HD video recording</li> <li>2.1 mp HD front-facing camera with BSI</li> <li>Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, microUSB 2.0, GPS, 3G</li> <li>HTC BoomSound speakers and Zoe</li> <li>2100 mAh battery</li> </ul> The phone will cost around $470 when it will hit the markets later.</div>

There’s no camera above the display for the second attempt either.<br /> On the hardware side, the biggest change that is being observed is the increase in RAM, from 512 MB to 1 GB, meaning more apps can be run now.<br /> <div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"> </div> Apart from that, you get the same 1Ghz dual-core SnapDragon S4 processor, 8 GB storage expandable via microSD, along with a 5 megapixel camera on the back (again without LED Flash) with 720p video recording.<br /> The software which comes pre-installed on the Lumia 525 is Windows Phone 8 Black, which of course comes loaded with quite a lot of Nokia’s customization and apps.<br /> Here are the full specs of the phone:<br /> <ul> <li>Microsoft Windows Phone 8 Black</li> <li>4 inch LCD display with WVGA resolution</li> <li>Supersensitive touch and Gorilla Glass protection</li> <li>9.9mm thick</li> <li>124g heavy</li> <li>1Ghz dual-core SnapDragon S4 processor</li> <li>1 GB RAM with 8 GB expandable internal storage</li> <li>5 megapixel rear-camera with 720p HD video recording</li> <li>Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, microUSB 2.0, GPS, FM Radio, 3G</li> <li>1,430 mAh battery</li> </ul> The phone will be available in 4 colors. Pricing is not confirmed but it will cost around $180 upon release, not much more than the 520 itself.<br /> The phone will get released in the coming few weeks.</div>
