Affordable HTC Desire 626 and Desire 526 will be launched in the coming weeks by Verizon

Announced last month by HTC, the Desire 626 and Desire 526 are coming soon to Verizon Wireless. The carrier today announced that both handsets will be available to buy starting the next few weeks to post-pay and prepay customers.

Running Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box, the new HTC Desire smartphones feature LTE connectivity, and are powered by quad-core Qualcom Snapdragon 210 processors clocked at 1.1 GHz.

The Desire 626 is the largest among the two new handsets, thanks to the fact that it sports a 5-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels. The 626 also offers a 5 MP front-facing camera, an 8 MP rear camera, 1 .5 GB of RAM, 16 GB of expandable internal memory, and a 2000 mAh battery. Verizon didn't say how much the Desire 626 will cost, but its price shouldn't be too high anyway.

The Desire 526 offers a 4.7-inch screen with just 540 x 960 pixels, further featuring an 8 MP rear camera, a 2 MP front-facing camera, 1.5 GB of RAM, 8 GB of storage space, microSD card support, and a 2000 mAh battery. The smartphone will cost $120 off contract.
