    HTC has brought one of the speckled, sportswear fashion-inspired Desire phones it launched in February stateside. It has released the Desire 530, in particular, which is the most affordable of the three devices in the line. The 530 is pretty basic -- it's an Android 6.0 phone with HTC Sense on top and comes equipped with a 5-inch 720p display, a quad-core 1.1GHz Snapdragon 210 processor, 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. HTC is putting a focus on its polycarbonate body's micro splash effect and its cameras, using those features as its selling points. To note, the handset has a 5-megapixel front-facing camera with Auto and Voice Selfie capabilities, as well as an 8-megapixel rear shooter with a back-illuminated sensor.

    HTC's Desire phones have never been the most thrilling. Sure, the low- to mid-range devices fill a purpose for those who can't afford (or don't want) the latest and greatest smartphone, but ... it's difficult to get excited about them. Perhaps with this in mind, the Taiwanese manufacturer has spiced up the range with three new devices inspired by "streetwear fashion."
