HTC Desire Q launched with 4.0-inch WVGA display, Android 4.0

HTC Desire Q has been officially launched in Taiwan. The phone sports a 4.0-inch WVGA display and comes with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

HTC Desire Q is powered by a 1GHz single-core processor alongside 512MB RAM and 4GB internal storage, that is expandable by another 32GB via microSD slot. The phone sports dimensions of 118.5 x 62.3 x 9.3 mm and weighs 114 grams. According to a report, the phone has been priced at NT$6,990, which is approximately Rs. 12,750 or USD 235.

Connectivity options on the HTC Desire Q include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and 3G. The phone sports a 5-megapixel rear auto-focus camera with LED flash, but lacks a front-camera, which may come as a bit of a downer to some. The phone comes with Beats Audio branding, like several of its compatriots.

There's no word yet about HTC Desire Q's pricing or availability in other regions, including India.

The launch of HTC Desire Q comes days after the HTC Desire P was unveiled. The HTC Desire P sports a 4.3-inch display with 480x800 (WVGA) pixels. The smartphone is powered by 1GHz dual-core Cortex-A5 processor and Adreno 203 graphics along with 768MB of RAM.

HTC Desire P also comes with an 8-megapixel rear camera and 4GB of internal storage, which can be expanded through microSD card slot. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth.

Specifications for both HTC Desire P and HTC Desire Q are in line with what was rumoured days before launch.
