    HTC Desire 601 (Zara) officially announced

    The mid-range smartphone formerly known as the HTC Zara was officially released as the HTC Desire 601 recently. Confirming pretty much all the rumoured tech specs, features and leaked images, the HTC Desire 601 will pack in a 1.4GHz dual-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 4.5-inch display (960 x 540), 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage + microSD support and weigh in at 130g. Unfortunately, the rear camera is not Ultrapixel, instead it will be a 5MP AutoFocus f/2.0 aperture camera while the front camera is just a 0.3MP VGA camera. Other changes include just Sense 5.0 but this also means that Zoe and BlinkFeed gets included as well. It will support 4G LTE, Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi and GPS though. The HTC Desire 601 will be released in October 2013 for selected markets in Africa, Europe and the Middle East but no exact release dates for Malaysia. The only thing left unclarified would be the price which is still pending, but should be cleared up during the local launch.

  • Rumours: HTC Zara going to be called HTC Desire 601?

    Rumours: HTC Zara going to be called HTC Desire 601?

    The upcoming midrange smartphone from HTC known as the HTC Zara could be called the HTC Desire 601 (which means the previously rumoured HTC Zara mini could also change it's name as well). This name changing rumour comes from surprisingly accurate serial leaker evleaks who tweeted:

    "HTC Zara will ship as the Desire 601"

    While this frees up the Zara name for a more premium device, the tech specs and features previously mentioned for the HTC Zara (or now Desire 601) are still the same. This includes a 1.2GHz dual-core snapdragon processor, a 4.5-inch display, 1GB of RAM, 8MP camera and an Adreno 305 GPU. Strangely enough, the HTC Zara Mini has already passed Tenaa which is the US FCC equivalent for China. Perhaps the Zara name has always been a codename for the smartphone and the HTC Zara Mini may be the next one to get a name change.
