Through the release of two different models, HTC is able to offer users a choice between a high-end device and an entry-level gadget, Phone Arena reported. The One E9+ Dual SIM costs Rs 36,790 or around $575 while the Desire 326G Dual SIM can be purchased for Rs 9,590, which is almost equivalent to $150.
The dual SIM variant of the One E9+ sports a 5.5-inch Quad HD IPS LCD display. Its screen has a resolution of 1440x2560 pixels and packs a pixel density of 534ppi.
For its processor, HTC powered the handset with the 64-bit octa-core MT6795M chipset from MediaTek. It has 3GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage which can be pushed to a maximum of 128GB through a microSD card.
The handset features a 20-megapixel wide-angle rear camera and a 4-ultrapixel selfie snapper. For its OS, the device runs on the Android 5.0 Lollipo-based Sense 7 UI.
