Taiwan-based smartphone maker HTC in its recent update has slashed down the prices of both of its recently launched products i.e., the HTC Desire 728 that was launched last month and the HTC Desire 626 that was revealed just last week. As per the reports, the company has dropped the price by INR 1000 on both the devices to avoid discrepancy.
HTC Desire 728 originally came in at a price tag of INR 17,990 and now with the price cut, it will be made available for purchase at INR 16,990. It's not a bad bargain since on the specs front, it definitely pays off featuring a 5.5-inch display with a 720x1280 display. Under the hood, it houses 2800mAh battery and is further powered by a MediaTek processor. It offers 2GB or RAM and offers an inbuilt storage capacity of 16GB that quite easily can be expanded up to 2TB using a microSD card.
