The HTC Desire 601 (branded in some markets as the HTC Desire, unrelated to the original Desire) is an Android smartphone designed and manufactured by HTC. The Desire 601 is a mid-range device carrying design traits from the HTC One and One Mini, utilizing a dual-core processor, 4.5-inch qHD display, and offering LTE support.
The Desire 601 was first revealed by evleaks in July 2013 under the codename "Zara", describing its design as being a mixture of the HTC One and recent Desire-branded devices, and indicating that it might be released on Sprint in the United States. The device was officially unveiled as the Desire 601 on 3 September 2013, with a release in Europe, the Middle East and Africa in October 2013. In the United Kingdom, it was exclusively released by Vodafone. On 18 November 2013, Sprint subsidiary Virgin Mobile USA announced it would release the Desire 601 under the name HTC Desire. On 27 November 2013, a Dual-SIM version of the HTC Desire 601 was released in Taiwan.
The overall design of the HTC Desire 601 echoes that of the HTC One, with a soft polycarbonate shell, front-facing stereo speakers, and a pair of navigation keys. A removable rear cover exposes a removable, 2100 mAh battery, and a microSD slot. The device uses a 1.4 GHz dual-core Snapdragon 400 system-on-chip with 1 GB of RAM, a 4.5 inch qHD Super LCD 2 display, and 8 GB of internal storage. The device also supports LTE networks where available. The Desire 601 also includes a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera which supports 1080p video recording.
