HTC appears to be gearing up to add a new entry-level handset to its 2013 smartphone lineup. Although it hasn’t officially been announced yet, the Desire 200 has today popped up on the company’s website, confirming a number of recent leaks.
HTC seems to have real difficulty keeping unannounced products a secret, so by the time it actually gets around to unveiling something, we’ve already seen it numerous times. And that’s certainly the case with the HTC One Mini, which has been pictured yet again out in the wild.
Those in the United States can now purchase the HTC One unlocked from HTC’s online store, priced at $575. In addition to the freedom to use your device on any carrier you like, you’ll also enjoy 32GB of storage, a 1.7GHz quad-core processor, and HTC’s latest Sense 5.0 user interface.
BARCELONA, MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS — HP famously bowed out of the tablet game when it gave up on the TouchPad and its webOS operating system, but here at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the company has jumped right back into it. Its new tablet, the Slate 7, is an entry-level device that’s powered by Android, and it costs just $169. We went hands-on to find out whether it’s worth it.
Following its much-anticipated unveiling on Tuesday, the HTC One is now available to pre-order in the U.K. from the official HTC Store and from a number of third-party providers. The SIM-free model is priced at £519.99 (approx. $803) with 32GB of internal storage, but the handset can be obtained for free on two-year contracts for £36 (approx. $56) per month.
It’s available in black and silver, but there’s no sign of the red model that HTC has been advertising on its website.
