HTC Desire 828w passes through TENAA

HTC’s Desire range continues to expand at a pretty rapid rate, as a new Desire 828w handset has appeared passing through China’s TENAA certification center.

The Desire 828w appears to be a very familiar mid-range design. The certification states that the smartphone will come with a 5.5-inch 1080p display backed up by a familiar Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor and 2GB of RAM. The phone is also listed with 16GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot for 128GB of extra space, a 13 megapixel rear camera, 4 “Ultrapixel” front facing camera and Android 5.1 Lollipop on board with HTC’s Sense 6.0 software.

Hardware wise, the phone appears virtually identical to the Desire 826, which HTClaunched earlier in the year. However, the pictures from TENAA suggest that the phone has undergone a bit of a redesign. The phone has adopted much rounder edges and dual speaker/microphone grills, although it’s not clear if the phone features two front facing speakers underneath. The smartphone measures 157.7×78.8×7.9mm and weighs 150g.

The phone comes in black, blue, gold, grey, orange, red and white color options but we don’t have any pricing information yet. We will have to wait and see if the Desire 828w will appear outside of the Chinese market.
