This is a 2010-era Android phone built around a 1 GHz Scorpion processor on the Snapdragon QSD8250 chipset, paired with Adreno 200 graphics. RAM sits at 576 MB with just 512 MB of onboard storage, though a bundled 4 GB microSD card and support up to 32 GB give you some breathing room. The 3.7-inch AMOLED or SLCD screen runs at 480 x 800 pixels, around 252 ppi, which was a solid density for its time.

The rear camera shoots 5 MP stills with autofocus and LED flash, and there's no front camera here, so video calls aren't part of the package. Battery capacity is modest at 1400 mAh, matching the phone's slim 11.9mm profile and 135g weight. It ships with Android 2.1 Eclair, upgradable to 2.2 Froyo, and includes GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, and a stereo FM radio.

HTC Desire (A8181) price in Malaysia starts from RM1060, and it comes in Black, Brown, Silver, and White.
