HTC has today unveiled a new bunch of affordable devices, bringing a large refresh to its entire Desire range.

Each new device will use a Snapdragon 210 processor, an entry-level octa-core chip running up to 1.1 GHz. The entire line comes with an 8 megapixel main camera and is capable of recording 720p video. They also all come with generous 2,000 mAh batteries.

Starting at the bottom of the line is the HTC Desire 520, which features a 4.5 inch, low resolution 854×480 display. and 1GB RAM. The HTC Desire 526 goes a step higher, featuring a higher resolution 960×540 display and 1.5GB RAM.

Moving further up the range, the HTC Desire 626 comes with a 5 inch 1280 x 720 HD display, 1.5GB RAM and 16GB built-in storage. The Desire 626s only features 1GB RAM and 8GB internal memory.

The Desire 6XX series will be available in a variety of colour combinations including Marshmallow White, Gray Lava, Blue Lagoon, Marine White and White Birch. The 5XX series will feature the much simpler colour options of Stealth Black and Steel Grey, reflecting the price-point different between the two tiers.

The devices are all available now within the United States, though there is no word on price or when they will reach the UK. Since this looks like a full product line refresh, we would expect them to follow over here shortly.
