HTC Desire 612 arriving on Verizon October 9
I wonder if this has a better shooter than the m8... Wouldn't be hard to beat it

In head-to-head comparisons the camera was comparable, although the M8 handles low light better IMHO. It's a megapixel camera, not an ultrapixel camera and it doesn't have the "duocamera" features, but it does support HTC's Zoe feature.
How long before Verizon starts renting out advertising space on their phones like a NASCAR?
How long until everyone realizes it doesn't matter?

It does matter. Especially if you are like me and buy off contact phones. You definitely do not want companies' names plastered all over your device. It's plenty to have the manufactures logo. I don't need the carriers logo put in 4 different places as well.

it'll probably happen when politicians start wearing their sponsors names on there jackets.
Will it get Android L?
Posted via the Android Central App
Android L will come out first on Nexus devices. Verizon doesn't believe in Nexus.
Ok, but will this device in particular get Android L? It might be worth replacing my Razr M with if it is really low cost.
With htc it might but again with htc it might not.

That was what my fear was. I'm lucky my phone made it to 4.4.2. so I can sit tight for a while.

Anybody in their right mind would get a moto G before they got this junky phone.

+1
Posted via Android Central best phone available: moto x
it looks really nice, better than the 610 design, however i know someone who bought this phone for at&t (610) and the screen looks horrible, you have to hold it straight right in front of you because it doesn't like to be looked upon at any other angles. It's a shame because htc could have made a nice affordable phone like the moto g but they used leftover screens they had from the days of the g1.
I got my HTC desire 612 and was wondering if a desire 610 case would fit cause I can't find any for the 612 I am waiting patiently for my new phone to arrive!
Hey i have an HTC 612 desire and my charger stopped working for some reason. I need help!
Will HTC desire 612 cases fit HTC desire 610.. or is there any other phones that cases will also fit desire 612
