HTC unveils Desire 620 and 620G dual-SIM smartphones

After getting leaked in Bulgaria a few days ago, HTC’s new Desire 620 and 620G smartphones have become official in the company’s home country Taiwan. Part of the company’s mid-range portfolio, the phone will first go on sale in Taiwan, followed by other Asian markets and Europe.

Among other specifications, the phones feature 5-inch 720p HD display, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, microSD card slot, 8MP rear camera, and 5MP front shooter. The phones also pack 2100 mAh battery, dual-SIM support and Android 4.4 with HTC Sense and Eye Experience.

According to HTC, Desire 620 will go on sale beginning December 1 for NT$6990 (US$225), while the Desire 620G will be available sometime in Mid-December for NT$4,990 (US$160).
