Last time when HTC had a serious contender positioned in the mid-range Android category was when the One V hit the shelves. It was a cute little handset with good build quality and adequate performance. However, it has been a while since then, so we guess the maker decided to spice things up a bit with a new device.

HTC Desire X review: Needs and wants

For one reason or another, the One series failed to live up to their potential in terms of actual sales, so HTC turned back to the time-tested Desire line...

Android Ice Cream Sandwich, a 4-inch screen and a dual-core 1GHz chip -- this mid-range 'droid is pretty tasty at this price. You can even get free Beats headphones.
