HTC Desire 510 brings its 64-bit goodness to Sprint, Boost, and Virgin Mobile

By

Sprint announced that the HTC Desire 510, HTC’s first 64-bit smartphone that was announced back on August 27, will be available for purchase this Friday, September 19. You also have the option of buying it from Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile on September 22 and 23, respectively.

The Desire 510’s claim to fame is its quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor, which features Qualcomm’s 64-bit technology, running at 1.2GHz. Other than that, we’re looking at a decidedly midrange smartphone with its 1GB of RAM and 4.7-inch 854 x 480 pixel display.

You’ll find 8GB of internal memory, though the MicroSD card slot allows for expandable memory up to 128GB. Don’t expect BoomSound or any depth sensor trickery, as you’ll find a speaker on the back of the Desire 510 and 5-megapixel rear-facing camera. Even so, to complain about these aspects would be missing the point of the Desire 510, which is a cheap phone that offers an impressive processor.

Even more impressive is how much the Desire 510 will cost across Sprint and its two prepaid subsidiaries. Sprint will offer the Desire 510 contract-free for $216 or $0 down and 24 monthly payments of $9 through Sprint Easy Pay. Both Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile, meanwhile, will offer the handset for $100 contract-free.

OnePlus 13T launches with flagship-grade firepower in a compact form
OnePlus 13T in hand.

After weeks of teasing, OnePlus has revealed its compact phone -- the OnePlus 13T -- in China. The 13T is OnePlus' response to the emerging focus brands have on thin and light phones, including the upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge and the iPhone 17 Air. Despite its teensy build, the OnePlus 13T packs in plenty of power, including an unrelenting Snapdragon 8 Elite, an immersive high-resolution display, and a large battery unlike other phones of its size.

The biggest highlight is the compact design, opposing the general trend among phones stretching out of hands. Accounting for its compactness, the OnePlus 13T features a 6.32-inch AMOLED display -- compared to the 6.9-inch one used on the OnePlus 13. Even with the smaller size, the display maintains its crispness, with a 1.5K resolution and adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz. The display supports Dolby Vision and achieves a peak brightness of 2,400 nits.

4 big battery phones the OnePlus 13T will need to compete with
OnePlus 13T

People always say that big things come in small packages. That may just be the case for the OnePlus 13T, the first T model in the OnePlus phone line in three years. It's a little smaller than the flagship OnePlus 13 model thanks to its 6.32-inch OLED display and a weight of 185 grams, but OnePlus recently revealed on Chinese social media platform Weibo that it will house (translated) "the world’s first 6,260mAh glacier battery." That breaks the record held by the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro, which had a 6,100mAh battery.

A 6,260mAh battery guarantees a longer lifespan -- and, in turn, more screen time -- for people looking to get their hands on the OnePlus 13T. However, it's not going to be the only phone on the market with a larger-than-life battery. Other phones that have come before it come pretty close in battery size and energy -- the latter of which OnePlus has not given much information of in terms of charging power and speed. Here are four big battery phones that the OnePlus 13T will have to keep up with once it releases.
