The HTC Desire C is the latest addition to the HTC phones of 2012, joining the highly rated HTC One X, HTC One S and HTC One V. The HTC Desire S is looking to take over the baton from the well loved HTC Wildfire S, which was a compact offering full of high-end smartphone features at an affordable price.

As you would expect from HTC, they have created a highly stylish, well built phone with a very durable metal frame. It also remains compact in the hand, measuring just 107.2 x 60.6 x 11.95mm. With Ice Cream Sandwich preloaded you’ll gain access to all of the latest features from Android including face unlock, resizable widgets, improved multitasking and faster browsing. The 3.5″ inch capacitive touchscreen punches well above its weight with excellent viewing angles, vivid display and pin sharp quality. All of this makes for a pleasant viewing experience whether you use it for browsing the internet, updating your Facebook profile or watching movies.

A 5 megapixel camera allows for great quality pictures on the go, and the Shoot and Share feature means you are only a few taps away from sharing that moment with your friends and family. Similar to the HTC One range, the Desire C includes Beats Audio profiles to help you enjoy your music collection as the artist intended. A generous 4GB helping of storage means there is plenty of space for all your apps and music. For the movie buffs among you, the memory can be expanded to 32GB by the microSD slot or via the free 25GB Dropbox account.

Overall, HTC have managed to fuse the perfect balance between power and affordability. With its high end features and affordable prices, the new HTC Desire C is sure to spread like “wildfire”.
