back at Mobile World Congress in February HTC announced two new additions to the desire line up the 816 and 610 Joe has already reviewed the 816 and now we have the 610 on hand and Taylor Martin this is PocketNow and this is our unboxing the HTC Desire 610 so back in February HTC announced two new phones they've been over the years trying to cut back their product lineup we used to see dozens of phones from HTC every year this year we've seen just a few we have the HTC One m8 and it's smaller version the One m8 or one Mini 2 and that Mobile World Congress it announced two new phones the Desire 610 which we have right here and the 816 which are on Joe Levi has already reviewed that is up on the site and you can see it but yeah this is it's basically entry-level phone it's a smaller little lightweight version of the 816 I'm very similar I guess on paper to the one mini two but this one's all plastic whereas the one mini two is aluminum so without any delay let's get inside the box see what it's about of course we always have knives on hand for this sort of thing handy unboxing tool get the cellophane off move to the side and I actually looked around this box for another 30 seconds trying to figure out what color it is and it's actually up on the bottom this is a navy blue handset we're gonna set this thing aside if we can get it out of the box while we go through the other things okay unboxings are hard clearly inside the box we're gonna get some reading material of course your desire 6/10 limited warranty User Agreement and whatnot here is a power brick this is not a US power brick this is for overseas so that's not gonna do me any good here this one is a microUSB cable and it does look like with this one you get some fancy little earbuds I'll have to check those out I'm sure they're not as great as some of the other in box headphones we've seen over the years but inside the box there really isn't much to get excited over I always say that but really all we ever care about is the phone you guys seem to care a lot about what's in the box but it's always the same thing the phone itself feels really lightweight and small we're gonna get the plastic off of it here really quickly so we can actually see it and this actually has some instructions for micro SD card and your SIM so we'll look at that again in a minute looks like they're behind the volume rocker no I lied they're right here domi so as you can see we have the navy blue version of this phone right here and it looks a lot like the desires 8:16 has a very similar the boom sound speakers with the grilles at the top and bottom above the display are both above and below the camera around back is an 8 megapixel camera that is not optically stabilized it's just a standard 8 megapixel camera and you don't get a 5 megapixel camera on the front this one is 1.3 megapixels if I remember correctly the display is 4.7 inches and it's a qHD resolution so you're not getting a very high resolution display especially not by today's standards but as you can see also there's a lot of bezel around the display on this phone so it's clearly not one of HTC's most high-end handsets this is basically your entry-level HTC handset for 2014 and the internals are really an indicator if that is well inside you're only going to get one gig of ram eight gigabytes of storage though you do have that micro SD card slot which supports up to 128 gigabytes of additional storage it also has a Snapdragon 400 SOC and that is a quad-core CPU clocked at 1.2 gigahertz I believe so you're getting basically bottom of the bucket specifications but you're also gonna save and cost as well so you don't expect too much out of this phone also the battery inside before I forget is 2040 milliamp hours so that's 2040 milliamp hours really not a very high intense that will we I think we have some devices to compare to but really quickly we can do a little size comparison this is the 5-inch one m8 which a lot of people are saying is too big for a 5-inch phone it's really tall this one's 4.7 it's almost the same exact size as the one m8 so that's something that many people will be happy about we also have the Moto X here which is also a very small 4.7 inch phone and you can see the size difference is pretty substantial so the build quality and in the hand feel is really not that great so far I mean it's it feels cheap and that's partly due to the slick plastic which we're not used to seeing typically on HTC phones but yeah it looks nice around front where it's matte finish and everything despite the bezels but the back is very very shiny and glossy and just doesn't feel that great in the hand so we're gonna put this thing to the test we'll compare it with some phones we'll do a full review and maybe some other coverage I don't know so stay tuned for that until then I'm Taylor Martin and thanks for watching folks thanks for watching if you enjoyed this video be sure to help us out
