We’ve heard about the HTC ‘Zara’ quite a few times now, and we’re getting information today from @evleaks that the device will officially ship as the Desire 601.

We’ve also heard about the HTC Zara Mini a few times as well, which we now know will be code-named Z3, and could eventually be a part of the Desire series as well. It’s confusing, and it wouldn’t be surprising to find out that there really is only one device we’re looking at here.

To echo what we already know about the Desire 601, it’s going to be relatively mid-range with a 4.5-inch screen, a Snapdragon 400 processor clocked at 1.2GHz, a 8MP shooter (possibly not UltraPixel), 1GB of RAM, 8GB internal storage with a microSD slot, and a 2,100mAh battery. We expect to see Sense 5.5 laid over Android 4.3 which is pretty nice but not surprising.

More to come when the device is officially confirmed.
