HTC has announced a new mid-range smartphone with Android operating system for the German market. The Desire 500 will hit shelves in a few weeks with its quad-core processor and 4.3-inch display. It will cost 279 euros, unsubsidized.

According to the manufacturer, the HTC Desire 500 does not support LTE 500. The quad-core processor is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 200.
