After a couple of years in the mobile wilderness, HTC finally looks armed to do battle at the top end of the smartphone market with its new flagship. As we sit and wait for the HTC 10 to hit stores, it's easy to forget that the Taiwanese firm has been working on other devices beyond its most cherished new handset. It was rumored that the company would unveil a new mid-range Desire alongside the HTC 10 at its big showcasing earlier this month, though this never materialized. Now, a device believed to carry the Desire 830 moniker has been leaked in all its glory, complete with snaps from all angles and those oh-so-important specs. 
The port at the bottom looks to be of the traditional micro-USB variety rather than USB Type-C, though this should be cleared up by HTC when the device is launched in an official capacity. Given these clear, hands-on images currently doing the rounds, it seems very possible that the HTC Desire 830 will be announced imminently, and we'll let you guys know just as soon as it's officially unveiled.
Do you like what you see of the HTC Desire 830? Check out the remainder of the leaked images below sure to share your thoughts, as ever, via the comments.

They should refresh their desire series. It's starting to look all too familiar.

I hate seeing mtk6753's everywhere. If you're going midrange Chinese for the price why not go for mtk6752??? The Mali 720 sucks big time.

Thumbs up, snapdragon 652 would be so much better than this crap, it's probably similar performance to the top of the line mediatek SoC (helio x20)

Stop putting low end chips in your mid range products taht you sellat mid-high trange prices, HTC. This device,given its position at the highest sot of the Desire food chain, should have either a Helio or Snapdragon 6 series.

In fact, this is what Htc's lineup SHOULD look like if they want tobe successful.
HTC 10 - 5.2QHD, S820, 12UP cam, $599
HTC 10 Lifestyle - 5.2QHD, S652, 12UP cam, $499
HTC Desire 830 - 5.5FHD, S650, 16MP cam, $399
HTC Desire 630 - 5.2FHD, S625, 16MP cam, $299
HTC Desire 825 - 5.5HD, HelioX10, 13MP cam, $199
HTC Desire 625 - 5.2HD, HelioP10, 13MP cam, $149
Done, plain and simple. Their name recognition and wider avaialbility will justify their prices against eg Xiaomi, but they also cant charge as much as Samsung, who can get away with pricing identical phones to competitors $100-200 extra. HTC cant, but it can with only $50 extra.
