It has 768MB of RAM. The Desire X features a 4-inch LCD with 800x480 resolution, 5MP rear camera with autofocus coupled with company's proprietary ImageChip, Beats Audio, 4GB of internal storage, microSD card slot that supports storage up to 32GB. It comes with a 1,650 mAh battery, which is apparently rated to deliver talktime up to 1200 minutes for GSM.

For connectivity, the device supports 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB 2.0. Check out the full specifications of the device here. HTC is also offering 25GB of Dropbox storage, with a two year subscription.

Announcing the new smartphone, Jason Mackenzie, President, Global Sales and Marketing for HTC Corporation, said, “If you're looking to enjoy and share high quality multimedia, wherever you are, this is the phone for you. It not only looks and sounds great, but also provides a super-fast, highly personal mobile experience at a great price."
