The HTC Desire 310 comes with a 4.5 inch display with a 480×854 resolution touchscreen, a quad-core 1.3GHz Mediatek processor and on the software side we find Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. This is not a clean, vanilla Android, but rather HTC’s own Sense skin which brings such features like the HTC Blinkfeed and Zoe. Inside the HTC Desire 310 we also find 1GB of RAM, only 4GB of internal storage, expandable up to 32GB via microSD card, a 5MP rear-facing camera, a VGA front-facing camera and a 2,000mAh battery. Speaking of the launch, HTC CEO Peter Chou said the following: The 2,000mAh battery seems to be enough for the handset to have a pretty good battery life. And even if it doesn’t house a power machine, the quad-core processor should be able to sustain most of your daily tasks. Of course, the handset would have been far more attractive if he had a 4G radio chip inside. HTC’s new budget smartphone comes with about the same size as the Moto G, measuring 132x68x11.3mm and weighing 140g. So, it shouldn’t feel neither too thin, nor too bulky – just typical. The launch of the HTC Desire 310 comes just less than two weeks before the expected launch of the HTC One M8 on 25 March. The smartphone will be available in a number of colors including black, white and orange and the official price hasn’t yet been made available.
