HTC Desire 700 & Desire 501 unveiled for Taiwan

With only a month left before 2013 draws to a close, HTC has unveiled a handful of new devices which are destined for the Taiwanese market. The HTC Desire 700 and HTC Desire 501 are completely new devices in HTC’s lineup, but the Desire 601 and 300 are practically the same as the phones HTC showed off at IFA a few months back.

As with previous phones in the desire family, HTC is pushing the premium design features of the HTC One down stream. The HTC Desire 700 could easily be mistaken for a large HTC One mini, but its low resolution 5-inch qHD display will certainly set it apart from HTC’s premium devices. The HTC Desire 501 comes ins a few tiers lower than the Desire 700 with a 4.3-inch  WVGA display, dual-core 1.15GHz processor and what looks to be Sense 4 instead of the newer Sense 5 software which is accompanied by BlinkFeed, HTC Zoe and Video Highlights.

We applaud HTC to keeping its HTC One lineup simple this year, but there’s a lot of work to be done to clean up the confusing HTC Desire lineup.

  1. Externally, the HTC Desire 700 looks a lot more like the HTC One than it does the Desires of old. Of course, it lacks that gorgeous aluminium unibody casing, but the familiar fascia detailing and top-and-tail stereo speakers all appear to be there.
